In the rarest of occurrences, all three of our heroes are playing (or at least played) the same game at the same time: Outer Worlds 2. Played because Chance ran in to a game ending bug, started over, and was just not 'immersed' enough to continue. Neither Alex nor Chamberlain are saying that this is the greatest game of all time, but it is entertaining in spite of its problems. Basically, they will tolerate mediocre combat if it means pitting space scientologist/communist soviet era Russians against late stage capitalism gone mad Americans against the nerdiest nerds to ever nerd.

There's charm here, trust us.

Chance. Chance doesn't love ninjas, at least not enough to play Ninja Gaiden 4. He bought it, but running through mediocre looking environments killing things at a firm 60 FPS was not good enough for him. It was more than good enough for Chamberlain, who loved it and highly recommends it as a very forgiving 'hard' game. All three have started Outer Worlds 2, but Alex has played it the most, because he loves Obsidian more than ninjas and ponied up for the early release.

Side note: Chamberlain does not love ninjas enough to put of with Double Dragon Revive. No one loves ninjas that much,

Sorry to say, no Alex today. We that remain will do our best.

Chamberlain hates what he thought he would like, tolerates but eventually abandons what he thought he would hate, gets emotionally involved with a 4 legged lighthouse, then settles in with Ninja Gaiden 4, a game so difficult he can only play it sober. And Chance can't find a place to be comfortable, stating at least two play throughs of Resident Evil 4, one of Baldur's Gate 3 and even a multiplayer session of Ghost of Tsushima before giving up and just watching movies. 2025 may have peaked.
