Rocky lets us know what the scoop is with current Mario Tennis Aces meta. The matters octo are discussed, both -ling and -path Traveler. Arcanine cults have sprung up in Oregon and Rocky goes sailing with Captain Morgan. Hey everybody, it must be VIDEO GAMES.

The gang might have some concerns about the volume of weekly Nindies but hope for the best. Rocky gives us the straight scoop on Fortnite. Valve cracks down the faintest sliver of transparency. Overwatch is coming to the network owned by Mickey Mouse and Hearthstone is making moves. Nakamura-sempai notice me!

This one has it all. We talk World Cup, Griffith Observatory wedding action, glorious Vulpixes (Vulpi? I don't know), video game companies caving to terrible GamerGaters, the right to be forgotten, Twitter awfulness, Ken Bone and the impending race war. YOU SHOULD BOYCOTT THE RACE WAR. We also fit in a little hipster wrestling, Fortnite, Sony being awful and the usual garbage raft of trash from Steam.

Rocky is out of action so Tegan and Brian call in the big guns, frequent co-host Joe Spiro! Topics include stuff like secret EA lay-offs, Tencent suing itself, the gameness of Duolingo, where to source 12 ounces of semen, Hammond the Tumblr hamster, Shawn Layden's missing neck and Mario Lopez kissing Santa Claus. This is a video game podcast.
