Show notes
It's a catch-up week around here as Brad and Vinny barrel toward the end of Death Stranding 2, Alex breaks the seal on Megabonk, and we all come to terms with what Baby Steps is asking of us. In the news, more goings on with Game Pass, Circana's latest stats on how many people are (or aren't) buying games, Nintendo's possible Pikmin movie/show/something, and more. Plus, David Lynch's house for sale, furniture made out of video game characters, and more of your emails!CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.
