So it turns out Fallout on TV is rad, and we have lots of thoughts, with ZERO spoilers. As a result, some of us delved back into Fallout 4 and 76 with a weird twist.

Golden Axe gets animated at Comedy Central. Heist 2 is here to make us happy. Your texts too! And some calls on the other side.

Lots to discuss and none of it has to do with girls faces. Time to highlight BAFTA Awards Winners, the Fallout TV show's critical acclaim, and Microsoft/Blizzard's new deal with Netease, despite previous breakdowns. We hit on the absence of Dead Space 2 Remake and the reasons why, the pricey Ubisoft SW game, and Microsoft/Xbox's progress on their next console. Seems like that thing is full steam ahead. Listener emails and texts, including recommendations for Blood Bowl 3 and excitement over Slay the Spire 2's announcement. And more! (Dear Martha too!)
