This week is light on news items, but we’ve been playing games, so we have things to talk about anyway. Zach has been obsessed with No Man’s Sky after the Worlds Part 1 update and the release of the 14th Expedition - The Liquidators. And Aaron has been playing a 2022 game that many had as a Game of The Year Contender - The Case of the Golden Idol.
