Three older best mates keep you current with the latest news, consoles and games while sharing a few laughs and a couple beers. Enjoy your games, eh.

Jul 24, 2019

You need to know how we feel about Hall and Oates, Nintendo Switch Lite, New Star Manager and Bokassa Crimson Riders.

 

Show Notes

Shane has a first basemen's glove for hands which aids him in craft beer drinking and pizza eating but also creates a need for a proper D-pad on his controllers. Therefore he may be in the market for a Nintendo Switch Lite later this year. 

Joel might be injured, according to a joint letter penned by Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony, due to tariffs causing a price increase on consoles sold in the United States. Not like a 2x4 to the knee injured though. 

Karl likes a little action in his football sims and enjoys opening a label flap to read about his beers while drinking them. He also contributed the recommended record in this episode that has hints of 90's thrash, Queens of the Stone Age and A Day To Remember.
