In this episode the boys talk about Shaun’s recent trip to Italy which featured a visit to an absolutely amazing video game store (Power Games - Website: power-games.it) where he got some sweet pickups, Super Mario 35, Donkey Kong Kong League Head to Head World Championships, Mike playing his Mega Drive and buying a Mega Drive game from bikies in Perth! Also featured is an update from Neil on his quest for the Ghosts ‘n Goblins world record and his stay in an AirBnB that used to be a church where he fought Satan! Gunstar Heroes and Mike’s Gran Turismo License Gold Medals quest are also discussed.

Following that, we have part 2 of the Brisbane Bash recap chat that Mike did with some of the guys from the fighting game scene in Australia including. The Brisbane Bash is a fighting game tournament that took place in July 2020. It is focused on the amazing games made by Netherrealm studios, mainly Mortal Kombat, and includes the retro and modern installments. This part showcases some of the players who played and ranked highly on the day in Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice Gods Among Us. They chat with Mike about character selection, strategies, a bit of history and all other bits & pieces. Chats were had with Darren Payne, Clinton Munck, Dwightwolf, and Duncan Trent. HUGE thanks to these guys for allowing us to be a part of the event and for giving us their time and wisdom on fighting games!
