Chris and Jason open with the Steam Autumn Sale, which came and went. Jason is about to buy Star Wars Galactic Racer. Chris explains how he got into the Deadlock beta through a shady Steam friend-invite ritual.

Twitch drops are everywhere, which makes it more likely that you see Twitch Ads (unless you're Jason). Join us for a discussion of Twitch ads, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and a new game Chris has been playing, Sandustry.

We have survived BlizzCon 2026! Tune in to hear about the announcements we saw, the things we did, and the overall experience of going to a giant gaming convention. Warcraft III: Forsaken Kingdom WoW: Forever beta is popular

After starting with some very important breaking news, we talk about Palworld, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and a weird gaming Kickstarter. Genki Manta

Chris is trying an unconventional piece of office furniture, Jason's playing Palworld, and everyone's playing Overwatch soon, we hope? Stay tuned until the end for Chris' experience with Mechanism gaming accessories. Mechanism Accessories Desk Stand Steam Controller Dock Roadmap

Welcome to our post-LAN Party episode. Tune in to hear what we played, what we played it on, and what we thought of having a LAN party at a resort. Meccha Chameleon Gamble With Your Friends Rhythm Heaven Groove Palworld Slay the Spire II Overwatch Far Far West

The Steam Sale has come and gone, and one of us was better disciplined with the two-hour rule than the other. It might not be who you expect! In other news, Chris finished Mina the Hollower and Jason is excited about Warframe's next update.   Mina the Hollower Scritchy Scratchy Aloft Humble Choice July 2026 Sea of Stars Drop Duchy Tunic Warframe Tennocon 2026

It's sale season, and Jason and Chris are trying to decide what is actually worth buying. Amazon Prime Day leads to a surprising lack of purchases, the Steam Summer Sale creates a very familiar kind of temptation, and new hardware may or may not be entering the picture. In between, Overwatch continues to make its case, while Fellowship raises a bigger question: what happens when a game gives you exactly the part you wanted, but maybe not everything else you need? Stick around after the end for a Steam Machine discussion that may turn into an expensive decision.

Summer Game Fest season is upon us! Tune in to hear our top 3 (ish) picks from the various showcases. In other news, Jason and Chris both got some new hardware since our last episode, and they're both very happy with their decisions.

The Steam Deck costs $950 now, so maybe it's time for Chris to buy an Xbox ROG Ally X. Jason's getting a racing rig. Chris got a new game and he's bad at it, and Overwatch is so back (or is it?). We also have some game news for Destiny 2 and Factorio that have more in common that you might think. Stay tuned until the end to hear about Chris' computer. Jason's racing rig Steam Deck OLED 1 TB for $949

It's time for everyone's favorite topic - Chris' car! Then it's a shift from real cars to virtual ones because Jason has played Forza Horizon 6. Finally, Overwatch is running a 10th anniversary event, and some version of Game Pass is coming to Discord Nitro.

The unthinkable happened… Jason played Overwatch and didn't hate it! We both tried to buy a Steam Controller, but only one of us got one. Finally, some closure to Chris and the Xbox ROG Ally X.   Saros Factorio Overwatch Steam Controller Intel Panther Lake

Raccoin is out, and Chris and Jason have thoughts after jumping in right away. They talk about why the game works so well on Steam Deck, how fun it is when a roguelike completely breaks in your favor, and a couple of other games now competing for their attention, including Vampire Crawlers and People of Note. They also revisit WoW to talk about where things stand with Midnight's story, then Jason shares why starting fresh in Enshrouded has reminded him just how much he loves survival crafting games, even when the genre asks for a huge time commitment. Finally, Chris makes the case for a handheld upgrade and tries to decide whether an open-box Xbox ROG Ally X is too tempting to pass up.

The game of the year contender we've all been waiting for is here... That's right, RACCOIN is out now! Tune in to hear what may be our longest mid-show tangent, and also a discussion on how expensive gaming has gotten lately. We've also got a WoW update, a new game, and a new board game!
