    January Releases: Let's mostly focus on Animal Crossing and FFVII Remake for Switch 2, plus Code Vein 2 and Highguard. (yeah, we kinda forgot about Highguard too.)

    We discuss games we played this week, including PlippUp, Fallout 4/New Vegas, Trails in the Sky, The Séance of Blake Manor, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Voidigo and beating Powerwash Simulator 2.

    CORE 502: O' Holy CORE!
    Dec 27 2025

    Diablo IV: Both Scott and Beau are back in for Season 11. Scott’s "Hot Take" is that the game is officially "very good now”, and he does not care who knows it. (Paladin to 46); Beau claims it’s the best season of "Diablo 3" yet. (lol)


    Scott: Revisiting Overload (on sale), playing Escape Room Simulator 2, and starting Banquet for Fools.


    Jon: Reached the new area in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and is impressed by the visuals.


    Beau: Mostly Jump Space outside of D4 play.


    And a CRAP ton of your emails and texts for our last episode of 2025!
