Scott's been playing Inscryption, Back 4 Blood, and The Good Life while Elvie's been playing Haven Park, Detention, Ashwalkers, and The Longest Road on Earth. It's one of the biggest weeks of news in a while as WB announced a Smash Brothers clone called Multiversus, Sony had a Star Ocean full of news drop during their State of Play, Among Us is adding new roles in the next content update, and in sadder news, PAX South is coming to an end and apparently Pokimane owns EVO. Oh, you thought I was done? Amazon's New World is a complete mess, Blizzard officially changed McCree's name, Blizzcon was cancelled, and Bobby Kotick took a pay cut in a failed attempt at good PR. Far Cry 6 is marketing itself horribly, Resident Evil had a big week, the Wu-Tang clan are making an RPG and Shoji Meguro is leaving ATLUS to make his own game. Speaking of new games, A Quiet Place is getting a game tie-in from iLLOGIKA, Digimon Survive is now coming in 20222 and ConcernedApe has the Haunted Chocolatier in the works. We're also getting a new third party DLC character in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Melty Blood: Type Lumina's DLC Rollout is starting this winter.

Rose has been playing some MonHun but getting a bit more MMO that she bargained for. And both of them have been playing Pokemon Prism.

Gacha finally solidifies its victory over this podcast by John relenting on the creation of The Gacha Minute which this time around includes Witch Weapon, Dragalia Lost, Digimon and poop. Then we take a moment off fun and games to discuss certain companies' relationship to the situation in Hong Kong and as a palate cleanser we dive into questions involving Travis Touchdown, almond milk, Vergil, and reppukens.

It's Choochagatari! Trixie learns how to defeat foes with one punch, John sees through Rose's ploy to get more teasing ammo, and our host did her homework and watched the weird Tanya of Evil anime just to fully understand Isekai Quartet. Plus, we talk about who we want to hug, Jojo music opinions, and much much more. The opening song this week is "Stardust Crusaders" from Jojo Pt. 3. The ending song is the Wahaha ending from Hitoribocchi.

Some of the topics covered are: how the game manages to present really human moments of mental disorders, abuse, and relationships very candidly; an anecdote on cut content; how Scott, Ryan and Trex made their own personal connections to the game; some theories about the ending of the game, the occult, and some of the minor characters that only subtly get touched on in game.
