it was a fun one! curious about the weird thing tim has in mind
2022-04-12 16:01:49 +0000 UTCSome insider info into why this episode is so weird: - we got ash as a last minute addition, but then that activision story broke so she had to file it - her mic just broke recently so her audio was tough to integrate (not least because it recorded everyone) - we were just palling around until she showed up but the episode would've been 20 minutes without that, so stuff that would've otherwise been in bonus credit wound up just being the episode. - frank had a hard out, and so we wound up with like 30 minutes of "actual show" goofy times all around. it turned into a weird episode though, and who doesn't like those!

2022-04-11 18:14:17 +0000 UTCIt’s incredibly funny to me that tim is still bringing up the video game roommate question, which I’m pretty certain you guys did discuss on the show at one point and which was the subject of one of his first Kotaku videos.
