Oh boy, I come out swinging on this one, but in the game's defense, not to deride it as so many have. I offer my thoughts on my time with The Callisto Protocol, our Dead Space substitute for today. This is another in my problematic favorites series, and while it does have issues, the real issue was everything else that didn't have much to do with the actual game.

Once more into the Dungeons and Dragons breech, my listeners, so dust off your minis and dice as I give my thoughts on 1994's Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession. As a dungeon crawler, is it any good?

Well, this one is probably going to annoy some of the Star Wars fan base. On this episode I talk about my experience with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as a Star Wars outsider.

Yee haw! Time to kill us some vampires, cowpokes! This week I give my opinion on Evil West, a historic fantasy game of cowboys versus vampires in which we rip off God of War 2018 in the best way possible. Is it a solid double A title? Did I completely mispronounce names all the way through the recording with abandon? Just how does it feel to punch a werewolf in the face with an electrified gauntlet then blast it with a shotgun? I can answer at least two of those questions, so come take a...
