Thankfully this week the audio is back to normal, so everyone can safely listen again. The news is a bit light, but there are rumors of a hot new Switch with an OLED screen. I am VERY excited.

I've been on the same games and Matt has been trying to find something that interests him. It's not going great.

To finish we pull a game out of Frosty. This time it is Hotline Miami. So, you can listen to me talk about how I didn't like it very much!

Podcast Episode 125 - Arkeus

Sadly something goofed and my audio quality this recording is terrible. Instead of using my mic the podcast platform we use changed to my webcam mic. So, if you use headphones maybe avoid this episode.

Outside of that we talked about a ton of news, chat about Persona 5 Scramble, and then chat about Mario 64. Overall it's a good episode outside of my god awful audio quality.

I decided not to do timestamps this time.

The news actually popped off a bit this week, so Matt and I go over that before talking about a whole bunch of Hitman.
