Who wins in a fight, Japanese beetles or video games? It’s close, but video games win. Michael clears the new dungeons in Destiny 2. Dennis keeps things interesting in Diablo IV by doing side quests. Dennis keeps his head above (and below!) water in Dave the Diver. Kyle gives us a recap on how awesome he is at SF6 and how awesome AEW: Fight Forever is. Dennis plays yet another swarm survior: Yet Another Zombie Survivors. Kyle spins the stacks of wax and takes your calls in Killer Frequency. Remnant II takes up most of Kyle’s weekend.

Our month was dominated by the Xbox Showcase and the Summer Game Fest; we go over our favorites. Dennis gets a new handheld and his first Windows machine: the ROG Ally from ASUS. Lilith always seems to be in another castle as Dennis and Kyle explore Sanctuary in Diablo IV. Kyle tries to scare Dennis talking about Layers of Fear (2023) and MADiSON. Dennis explores and cleans out the Halls of Torment. Running a sushi bar is not what Dennis expected to be doing in Dave the Diver. Kyle “grapples” with the ranked playlist in Street Fighter 6.

You’re probably here to listen to our thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but we played other games also. First, we talk about the PlayStation Showcase and their goofy “handheld”. Dennis finished DREDGE and returns to the mainland. Dennis skates into early access with Tape to Tape. Kyle “forces” his way through Jedi: Survivor before exploring the Tears of the Kingdom. Michael adjusts his build in Destiny 2. Dennis and Kyle enjoy their escape from HELL-A in Dead Island 2.

Fact: April showers have nothing to do with video games. What is XDefiant? Dennis didn’t know either but he had fun shooting Ubisoft characters. After playing the beta, Kyle predicts Diablo IV will be the best in the series. Michael plays Chaos Gate – DaemonHunters; it’s like X-COM but with huge characters. Dennis crashes on a planet in Songbringer and sails the seas to solve a mystery in DREDGE. A new segment of the podcast, “Kyle’s Kozy Remake Korner”, kicks off with RE4, RE2, and Dead Space remakes. Dennis hits the links again, this year with EA Sports PGA Tour. Find out if Michael is either “the anchor” or “an anchor” in his Destiny 2 group.

Kyle is killin’ goblins in Hogwarts Legacy. Kyle starts swinging in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Kyle predicts good things (and skeletons) to come from Dark and Darker.
