What am I looking forward to playing? Well here, I'll tell you.

Is gaming in 2023 feeling dry? Stale? Dull? Dead? Absolutely not, let's get into why that is ridiculous to think as we talk about all the great game that have come out this year. As always thanks for all the love & support.

People don't like discussing amine anymore, they like to argue. Let's talk about why that is. As always thanks for all the love & support.

Check them out as they catch up since the HiK-Upp's wedding, & talk about what they've been into with TV, Music, and Games.
