This week, Dana, Lauren and Joe run through the their gaming highs and lows over the past few weeks following on from PAX and local game days. Joe takes a break from Overwatch 2 to tell us about avoiding a fall from grace in Courtisans. Lauren has been answering movie trivia questions badly in Blockbuster. Dana has been taming beasts, though not her own, to create the best minions in The Vale of Eternity. 



They also share the community responses from last week's Question of the Pod, share their gripes with this week's question, and get fired up for the coming week!
