271: You Cannot Trust a Vampire

November 5, 2026 · 1 h 43 min

Show notes

We recorded smack dab between the midterm elections and some pretty big game releases, so this week we goggle at the new state of things in the US, catch up on some games we've had in the hopper for a bit, cover news like the nature of the next Elder Scrolls and a potential buyer for Arkane, respond to listener emails about our input-device kinks and Brad's likelihood of getting into Deadlock, and more.
