Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We start off the show with a discussion about how we all dogpiled on Discord and attempted the pre-release version of the MIT Mystery Hunt… and for those completely lost about the show title, one of the clues to one of the puzzles… was just the specific color of the Charlie XCX Brat Album. From there, Bel talks a bit about the Halloween event in Guild Wars 2 and how some folks take the Mad King’s Labyrinth way the hell too seriously.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen We had a pretty meandering show where we thought we ran out of topics… and then suddenly remembered a few more at the very end.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen We are down a Grace this week, but carry forward with a handful of topics. Bel talks about Diablo IV Season 10 after having sat out for a few seasons. The game is in a pretty good state now.

Bel talks a bit about recent Last Epoch updates that have added quite a bit of quality of life to the game. Enshrouded got the Thralls of Twilight update that has massively improved some of the game visuals as well as added quite a bit more gameplay. Dwarven Realms is going through Chaos Week right now, and Grace has been playing the brand new Necromancer.

Right now, Steam is doing Creature Collector Fest, and Ash talks about trying out several demos. Finally, Bel has returned to Guild Wars 2 and dragged Ammo along for the nonsense.
