Gonarch's Lair episode 46: The Golden Piñata

Dry your eyes darling Headcrabs, for our venerable vagrants have returned from their summer recess to take up residence in the all-new Lair 4.0; by delivering a dose of revitalised vigor, they aspire to redeem this atrophying podcast. We kick off an essentially themeless episode with a belated and brief E3 chat, covering their handpicked highlights: Xbox Scarlett, Watch Dogs: Legion, Gods & Monsters, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, The Outer Worlds, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Control, Elden Ring, and the breathtaking Cyberpunk 2077 revelations; they welcome the Fellowship’s newest Headcrab to the world, make at least 2 American football references, and Thom recounts the grotesque indulgences of The Gallery at Odeon Cinemas. The buttery buds also talk about Sonic Mania, Guacamelee, Predator: Hunting Grounds, Inside, Undertale, Hunt: Showdown, Tetris Royale, Wreckfest, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Dune II, and the recently announced Nintendo Switch Lite; we of course reveal the winner of the Alien vs. Pinball Community Challenge, there’s a Sensi Soaks segment that is inundated with innuendo, and Ross drops a huge bombshell while explaining his Rocksmith challenge. Blistery bops include Ross upstrumming and Thom becoming decadent.
