On this episode, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Kyle Hilliard, and Jacob Geller unpack the details and secrets of the incredible new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Then Janet Garcia joins the show and we check in and share our full thoughts on the open-world game Tchia. Kyle and Ben got to see an extended preview for Immortals of Aveum, the new first-person magic game from Ascendant Studios and the creative director of Dead Space. Oh and then things get weird and we talk about Meet Your Maker, an RTS you play by typing, and Tron's best games.
