This week Andrea and Steimer record in the new studio together while Britt enjoys a rum punch on a beach somewhere. But seriously: the new Xbox was unveiled at The Game Awards! We recap that story and all the others from the big night including a new Hellblade, the first PS5 game, and that Fast & Furious racer that's not...a racer? Plus they chat Pokemon, Riot Games, and more. In hands-on Steimer got drunk with the devil in Afterparty and has been spending more time with Pokemon Shield. Andrea tried out Darksiders Genesis on Google Stadia and dipped her toes in the Need for Speed Heat waters.

It's such a doozy of a news week it spreads into the 2nd segment! Britt chats about her time with Arise: A Simple Story and Tools Up, plus Andrea dips her toes into Need for Speed Heat. And for good measure they have a nice, spoiler-free, chat about The Mandalorian on Disney+.
