Nick and Josh are back from a small break to talk about a boatload of games and news. Shadow of the Colossus is still a flawed masterpiece. Josh has slowed down on his trophy hunt. He’s also gotten back into Hollow Knight. Nick is playing High on Life 2 and liking the changes so far (there’s a skateboard)! Also…layoffs, lot of layoffs.

Nick and Josh are joined by Josh Covel from the Still Loading Podcast to talk podcasting, game collecting, and how bad Dark Souls is. The bros also share early thoughts on Resident Evil Requiem. Josh makes a good meme, Nick is playing Shadow of the Colossus with his kid, and Josh Covel takes a survey to help the viewers determine how much of a gamer he truly is.
