It's sale season, and Jason and Chris are trying to decide what is actually worth buying. Amazon Prime Day leads to a surprising lack of purchases, the Steam Summer Sale creates a very familiar kind of temptation, and new hardware may or may not be entering the picture. In between, Overwatch continues to make its case, while Fellowship raises a bigger question: what happens when a game gives you exactly the part you wanted, but maybe not everything else you need? Stick around after the end for a Steam Machine discussion that may turn into an expensive decision.
