Cohh is on vacation so this week JP and Zeke are joined by Pro-gamers DatModz and Shroud! Before getting into the games we realize how young Shroud is to everyone's despair. Then we get down and dirty with Marathon, a very good game that may be too hard for the average player. Will that hinder the game long term? Then we go deep with our time with Crimson Desert, a weirdo game for the true freaks out there!   0:00 - Intro1:00 - Disneyland3:20 - Games while podcasting5:30 - Epic Games laying off 1000 people14:30 - Sony raises price of PS5 and Pro20:00 - Star Wars XCOM23:50 - Borderlands 433:20 - DLSS5 slop36:00 - Warhorse Studios switching to AI translation47:10 - Viewbotting1:00:30 - Marathon deep dive1:34:40 - Steam chart andy1:35:55 - Last Epoch1:48:50 - Crimson Desert2:34:00 - WoW2:43:00 - Quarantine Zone2:50:00 - Hellmart3:00:10 - The next big FPS game by Shroud3:09:25 - ShoutoutsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
