    A (very late) Retrograde Gift Exchange

    Happy Belated Holidays, D-Pads! As promised, we finally sat back down to exchange the gifts we forgot to give one another during our 2025-26 New Years Power Hour countdown. And, hey, since we're turning the mics on, why not catch ourselves up on all the fun stuff we've been up to since the break! We get into the weeds with Arc Raiders, Marty Supreme, and much more!

    Gaming Check-In PLUS Death Stranding Trailer Impressions

    Did you miss us, D-Pads? Well we missed you! We couldn't wait to turn the mics back on and start shootin' the poop. It's been months since we were able to sit across a small room from one another and have our favourite para-social listeners voyeuristically consume everything we had to say. We're well on our way to planning the next step of our content journey, but in the meantime we figured we'd bring everyone up to speed with our experiences playing games like Civilization 7, Mouthwashing, and Citizen Sleeper, PLUS our impressions of the recent Death Stranding 2 launch trailer!

It's always a little funny, a little informative, and inevitably a little sappy as we get closer to that countdown.
