The summer games are really piling up as we discuss Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, the Marvel Rivals beta, Flintlock, Arranger, and more. In the news, job cuts at Humble Games and NetherRealm, unionization at Bethesda, and the future of the Mega Man series. And lastly, a bajillion ema...
2024-07-24 23:59:21 +0000 UTC View PostWe're in an especially cooperative mood this month, so we decided to pick three online co-op games for you folks to choose from as we prepare for our monthly thank-you stream this Friday July 26th. Which of these we'll group up and try out (or return to) is entirely up to you:
This week: Elminster goes to hell, Brad makes a shocking discovery about his early taste in music, it might be time to cancel Amazon Prime, Vinny catches up on The Boys, we can't get enough of those wonderful TikTok narrators, and 7:30 on Saturday is too damn early for a swim meet.
