It's Tuesday and we're talking about games! Chuck and Mike spent some time sharing what sets Mortal Shell II apart from other Soulslikes, Jan has finished climbing a mountain in Cairn but is ready to drop balls in Hyperdrop, Grubb shares his time playing the early bits of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and more talk about what we've been playing. We also get into some BREAKING GTA VI leaks, Kingdom Hearts IV updates coming out of D23, the PlayStation 6, and more!
