I do really appreciate the video versions of these episodes and thought they worked quite well!

Well, Alex doesn't go very deep into what or who he's talking about, but he does spoil the motives of the main mystery.

Really enjoyed the Game of the year discussions. Laughed out when Brad went over their inscryptions texts back and forth on slack.

anyone know how in depth the Lost Judgement spoilers are? I'm still early on in my playthrough, don't know if I should skip it in the discussion or not.

I've been listening to Vinnie for many years, I'd never noticed that it sounds like he says "foward" instead of forward, it seems like it's come up a lot lately.
Michael Polston
I love how satisfied Alex is after saying "it's time to make It Takes Two out of sight."
