Thinking with Portals

"I think my frontal lobe finally developed." That's the realization Jack finally has while regaling to Acc his fourth-ever play through of Portal 2. As a personal rule, Jack only plays Portal 2 once every five years, but this most recent jaunt was much faster than he was anticipating. Is this what getting old feels like? Also discussed in this episode of The Acc and Jack Show: The Pitt's second season finale is fantastic. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is getting a price cut! Why are commercial mascots being recycled? Two gamers are suing Nintendo to get their tariffs back. FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE to Hardly Focused! https://hardlyfocused.com/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Celebrities Suck

It's the tail-end of tax season in the United States, with the deadline to file having already passed. Jack shares for Zach and Becky a list of things Americans are most likely to spend their tax refund on. That's IF they receive a refund; Uncle Sam isn't making it easy this year! Also discussed in this episode of Hardly Focused: Zach shares his trip to California, and surprises Becky with a big life update. Becky is deep in the Pokemon card-collecting well.

Sorry Focused

Believe it or not, there are actually some "old man yells at cloud" opinions out there that today's generation agrees with. Jack, Mike, and Nate go through the list of annoyances folks of all ages can align on. Surprisingly, "listening to Hardly Focused at full volume in public" is not on it - and probably not recommended. Also discussed in this episode of Hardly Focused: Michael J. Fox is not dead, despite CNN claiming otherwise. The Cloverfield franchise deserves another, realistic chance. Nate apologizes so many times during this episode, he even has a fully produced song. CBS is replacing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with Byron Allen's unfunny, paid programming. FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE! https://hardlyfocused.com/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.

723: Exfiltrate

Marathon is the newest game from Bungie, the studio behind the legendary franchises Halo and Destiny. A follow-up to the mid-90s series of the same name, Marathon is an extraction shooter, in the same vein as Escape from Tarkov and ARC Raiders. Set on the planet Tau Ceti IV, "Runners" face off again each other in team of three, battling forces of the Unified Earth Space Council while scavenging for the best loot. Jack reviews Marathon for Mike, hoping the game has a long future ahead in an endless landscape of hit-or-miss multiplayer games. Also discussed in this episode of Hardly Focused: There are more questions than answers in the deadly Air Canada plane crash at LaGuardia Airport. Famously adverse to video games, Becky's latest hobby is collecting Pokémon cards. Reality television figure Taylor Frankie Paul is an absolute psychopath.

It's in the Water

Living in a Box

What are the best state capitals to live in? Which ones are the worst? How many of New England's made WalletHub's list? These are the important questions that nobody asked, but that Jack answers anyway for Nate and Zach. All told, it should surprise nobody where Boston lands on the list in terms of affordability.

Jack receives the news alert during the show that actor Eric Dane has passed away due to ALS. The Pawtucket, Rhode Island shooter lived a bizarre, hate-filled life - and he married his cousin!
