We take a stab at recording the show remotely;

Jonathan swings into new zones in Avalanche's 2015 game, Mad Max;

Jonathan laments the map distribution in PUBG;

Logan expresses complex feelings about Super Meat Boy;

Logan revels in his role as "Staryu Master" in Pokemon Let's Go: Eevee Version;

We discuss development of gore in Resident Evil 2;

We have a superficial talk about the convoluted nature of Kingdom Hearts;

We read some Google questions about Crackdown 3;

We desperately reach to remember the title of Yoshi's Wooly World;

Kirby gets no love;

And we take a ton of time sorting through every other confirmed 2019 title that interests us.
