Show notes
It's time to podcast about video games and the people who love them once again, this week touching on more time with Control Resonant, End of Abyss, and playing American Truck Simulator in (gasp) something other than a truck. Also, Xbox swears Xbox isn't for sale, more Last of Us may be coming in some form, we unpack the essential qualities of a good Metroidvania, and more.
