Oh, and Aaron Judge is on the cusp of history. Intro: "Route 66" by Carbon Citizenz 

On this episode of WiN ONE, there are a lot of technical issues and frankly, a lot was cut but not everything. There is talk about the Fallout TV Series, heavy talk about Nintendo's woes, and deep talk about Life is Strange.

Boy, do we here at W.i.N have a show for you this week! Allan returns after battling Covid and Graydon returns after simply being busy. Allan hijacks the show at various points to talk about the WWE, gush about Star Trek, and yes, even try and defend the Star Wars Sequels. Also there is talk about video games as well.

Allan and Graydon are back! After returning from a hiatus the WiN team went right back into a hiatus and Al decided to soft-reboot the show by eliminating the upcoming releases segment from the show making the show now all about the news. Al talks about the Lost Media rabbit hole they fell down while simultaneously "insulting" Graydon by assuming he would be a fan of The Lake House. What does The Lake House have to do with this episode you may ask? Click that listen button and find out!

Welcome to the Indie Book Club!Each episode, we'll be playing some of our favorite indie games and discussing them with various VGU staff members, guests, and even listeners like you!While Graydon and Allan bank a couple Bastion episodes so they can finally get a real series going, Graydon and Emmett decided to get together and talk about 2024’s most polarizing game - Life is Strange: Double Exposure.Is it as bad as people say it is? Is it even worth playing? Is Amanda the greatest partner for Max Caulfield? All this and more on this very special (overdue) spoilercast of Deck Nine’s latest… achievement?Editor’s Note: This is the first explicit episode of the Indie Book Club. While we try to make all of them family-friendly and marked accordingly, this spoilercast needed to include swears, as it helped the overall chemistry flow. Seeing as Life is Strange covers some very mature themes, we deemed it okay to keep this one explicit.Also Graydon’s audio cuts out sometimes, so apologies for that glitch.If you have game requests, questions, or would like to jump in on an episode with us, please contact us:VGUGraydon@gmail.comOR@IBCVGU on TwitterAlso, make sure to follow our VGU Gaiden podcast feed!
