191: Don't Ruin This Moment for Me
Jason rolled credits on Galactic Racer and finally hit Mastery Rank 30 in Warframe after ten years. Chris finished a $5 incremental game while traveling. Then it's all about WoW Forever launch week: tanks, mages, Skyborne, and whether classic-style travel will wear thin. Plus: who is buying all these Pokémon cards, and hands-on time with the iPhone Duo.

182: Who Needs That Many Buttons?
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.

177: You are the Roomba
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.
