Hello Hello! Big November is here to say “Hello”! Glad to see God of War getting a lot of love in the critical space and very curious what fans think once they get it this week.

Schedule for the Week of 10/24/2022
I’ve been debating whether or not to just finish Elden Ring or stream some more of it and decided that maybe we can do both!

Alex will be away for the streams this week, so Brad and I will be holding it down with Grounded and a Grab Bag stream. Hope...
