This week, the gang shows their age with a nostalgic dive into classic FPS titles like *Golden Eye 007* and *Doom*. They attempt to piece together how shooters evolved from the good ol’ PC days to the console dual-stick setup of today.

Zea’s on a high after beating *The Plucky Squire* and shares her thoughts on why games as a live service are a plague on the gaming industry. The crew also weighs in on the upcoming *Yakuza: Like a Dragon* TV adaptation, while Gibbs argues that HBO Max’s *The Penguin* is exactly what the DC Universe needed.

They also tackle whether Google’s search AI is a step in the right direction or a bad omen for the future, and discuss the strange findings from a Nintendo leak (hint: a lot of weird Pokémon stuff).

Mox wraps things up with some anime and Netflix recommendations: the movie *Look Back 2024* and the quirky series *Culinary Class Wars*. Finally, they dive into a review of *Strange Darling 2024*.
