    Video Games and Board Games: Normal service resumes at Unnecessary HQ, albeit with some content recorded in the distant past of 2021. Dave takes us on a whirlwind tour of his last 18 months in another gaming roundup. It's 'game over, man,' for Chris, as he lets us know, in no uncertain terms, what he thinks of Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Finally, Euan discovers there's no event so cataclysmic it can't be exploited for commercial gain, in the board game Polynesia. Enjoy!

    Video Games: Chris has finally decided it's time to talk about Shenmue 3, and asks the question on everyone's lips: can Shenmue survive in the modern world of gaming? Meanwhile, Dave has another games round up for us, starting off with Unheard, a detective game with an eavesdropping twist, and moves on to the Obsidian RPG The Outer Worlds (the less said the better), and goes back to enjoy the spectacular Witcher 3. Finally, Chris has a good chat about his new retro gaming console, the Retrostone 2, because Chris doesn't relive his childhood gaming enough apparently. Enjoy!
