    Video Games and Board Games: Normal service resumes at Unnecessary HQ, albeit with some content recorded in the distant past of 2021. Dave takes us on a whirlwind tour of his last 18 months in another gaming roundup. It's 'game over, man,' for Chris, as he lets us know, in no uncertain terms, what he thinks of Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Finally, Euan discovers there's no event so cataclysmic it can't be exploited for commercial gain, in the board game Polynesia. Enjoy!

    Video Games: Chris has finally decided it's time to talk about Shenmue 3, and asks the question on everyone's lips: can Shenmue survive in the modern world of gaming? Meanwhile, Dave has another games round up for us, starting off with Unheard, a detective game with an eavesdropping twist, and moves on to the Obsidian RPG The Outer Worlds (the less said the better), and goes back to enjoy the spectacular Witcher 3. Finally, Chris has a good chat about his new retro gaming console, the Retrostone 2, because Chris doesn't relive his childhood gaming enough apparently. Enjoy!

    Video Games: Chris and Dave have returned to their podcasting lives, which means returning to gaming, which means being grumpy. Chris gives Ghost Recon Breakpoint a bit of a protracted kicking, before Dave goes on a long gaming update in which he suggests Horizon Zero Dawn might be overrated, Gwent is a bit silly, Destiny 2 lives up to the disappointment, MLB The Show 19 is... a baseball game, but that Monster Hunter World is actually quite good. Finally, Chris gives the episode a positive ending by loving up mobile game Golf Blitz. Enjoy! Ghost Recon Breakpoint (03:17) Horizon Zero Dawn (24:20) Gwent (30:15) Destiny 2 (37:55) MLB The Show 19 (44:55) Monster Hunter World (48:05) Golf Blitz (54:40) This episode hosted by Chris Hanratty and Dave McCreary Music by the hosts, with Jokin Etxeberria This episode produced by Chris Hanratty Logo by Rebecca Horner www.firstplayertoken.com

    Video Games: Chris and Dave (the stalwarts) are on their own this week, but it's worthwhile because they've both played the ridiculous and immensely fun Cooking Simulator; Chris has returned to Ghost Recon Wildlands and Planet Coaster to check out some new features, and has also managed to put a few hours into tycoon-style transport and industry building game Rise of Industry; and Dave has been having his brain burnt by the crazy puzzler Baba is You. Enjoy!
