The Dawn of CyberWar is Upon Us (Also Outriders) Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

This week we're diving into Outriders, a game that sounds about as generic as is possible within the confines of the English language. And yet, we all think it's pretty damn fun! We also attempt to one-up its generic efforts with a new title of our own.
