In this episode, Al goes over the games he played during Steam Next Fest, Mint talks Final Fantasy Resonance and the surprising quality of Phantom Blade Zero, and we dream about shoving Tim Sweeny's head into a toilet.

After some time away, Mint laments the state of the Street Fighter movie and harps on Ace Combat 8 and Onimusha. Meanwhile Al finally finished Expedition 33 and ponders over picking up Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave now or later. And then we yell at the Game Industry for an hour before technical issues make Al get King Crimsoned lmao.

Good to be back.

The Double-Fine Union Article

Mint talks about his new favorite "Pick Three" and new Nioh 3 DLC, Al discusses the trials and tribulations of AnimeNYC, and we perform an autopsy on the corpse of Project L 2XKO.

Mint talks about the most popular farming game out at the moment, Al crashes out over Stellar Blade (and also nearly doxes himself), and there is much pondering about what should happen to CEOs.

Please note that Al's mic got switched to his Razer Kiyos which is why he sounds like he's talking out of a tin can. Sorry about that!

This week's OP: Running Late - On-lyne, Matthew Chalmers & Keith Power

Do you really need shownotes with that title? I mean alright: Mint talks about his surprising enjoyment of Star Wars Outlaws, Al talks about the ending of Mina the Hollower, and we lament the state of Square Enix in 2026. Also feet are discussed.

What better way to celebrate double-digits than the death of everyone's least favorite keebler elf? Pop off for that whilst Mint talks about Starfield and has a crisis about Ever Crisis. Meanwhile, Al tries to describe his feelings about Deltarune without getting killed for spoilers.

On today's docket: Mint talks about Marvel's Midnight Suns and the baffling response to Mina the Hollower critique, Al goes over half of the Steam Next Fest demos he's played, and we lament the state of the industry for the third episode in a row.

Man it's just a lot of bad news this week I dunno, I got to talk about Warframe a little bit at least.
