• Duke Nukem Forever
• Fallout '76
• Resident Evil 2 Board Game

This isn’t really an episode of the podcast, just a silly project that I’ve been working on. Without Squidgey on the show, there would be no show. So this is a tribute, of sorts, to him.

Part three of a multi part, end of year spectacular is all about Spooptober. We discuss all things spoopy in our late Spooptober special episode. Because that’s the way to end a year of episodes, right?
