259: Art Installations by Playskool
Notes de l’épisode
This week we embark on a Big Walk, spend some quality handheld time with the Switch 2, finish Heave Ho 2 and Road to Empress II, ponder news like the closing of the deal taking EA private (and what seems like pending layoffs), some gaming-on-Linux updates, and Dave Bautista's growing go-to status for video game television, run through the shockingly small catalog of AO-rated games, and more.
