·58 min·5 clips

Owen reveals the emotional damage from a demotion and teases a wild last call memory.

The episode opens with host Owen reacting humorously to a previous segment's 'emotional damage.' Panelists Jaron Kaselcup, Lang, and Tony introduce themselves, joking about sleep deprivation from playing Ark Raiders. They read an email from listener David, who built a high-end gaming rig and played 335 hours across 40 games in 2025, seeking validation; the panel praises his choices, especially Uncharted 4. Lang reviews the GPD Win 5 handheld, detailing its detachable battery pack, improved cooling, and ergonomics, giving it a 10/10 for his needs. The discussion moves to Xbox's Developer Direct, covering Kiln, a pottery-based competitive game from Double Fine; Beasts of Reincarnation, a Game Freak-published action RPG; Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan with enhanced car detail; and the Fable reboot, which promises 1,000 fully voiced NPCs and deep world interaction. The panel debates Game Pass subscriptions and Rockstar's GTA VI, with Owen sharing a boiler explosion news story. Jaron delivers an ode to the PS Vita, praising its OLED screen and design, while Tony and Lang reminisce about retro collecting. In lightning rounds, Tony notes Ubisoft's stock drop and game cancellations, and Jaron reviews the Osnap Emcon collapsible phone controller, critiquing its ergonomics and high price. Owen briefly mentions Bungie's Marathon extraction shooter. The episode ends with Patreon acknowledgments and humorous tier promotions.
