Chris, Graham and Alex heed the wisdom of the Time-ramisu and peer into the future of mecha strategy game Phantom Brigade, the alternative past of tactics game Möbius Front ’83, and an eternity of Destiny 2.

• The Golden Joysticks happened again and proved to be an exacting measure of how people who voted in this thing voted.
• Only a dad could forgive horizontal Iron Man but, alas, he doesn’t have time to play that Avengers game.
• Squeenix are switching to work-from-home indefinitely.
• Loosey-goosey simultaneous turnbased mecha heat management strategy game, Phantom Brigade.
• Hex-based tactics game with a pulpy 80s military-mystery theme, Möbius Front ’83.
• Destiny 2‘s continuing reinvention / self-cannibalism does some things to recapture the quiet dignity of the original space nonsense, but also unleashes the occasional potent guff of fomo.
• For whom does the mangonel toll? Will you go to mangon-‘ell or mangon-‘eaven? How much nell could a mango nell if mango could nell mangos? Are these questions answered in this Age of Empires 2 exploit video? Not on your mangonelly.
