This week, the guys are biding their time. Paul checks out an early look at 33 Immortals, the previously known "Bloodborne Kart" and continues Nine Sols while Sean is pushing people around in Humanity and loads up Octopath Traveller II with no real intentions on ever finishing it. Maybe most importantly, he's begun Stellar Blade again and is getting good at parrying.

Not much in news this week as Summer Game Fest begins soon and we are just preparing for the onslaught with some early info on the proceedings and the possible future of The Last of Us TV show.
