An irregular podcast about video games for the modern adult. Each episode, co-hosts Justin and Kyle select a game to play and spend a week with it. They then share their thoughts on the experience and recommend it (or not!) to their listeners. Topics also include current goings-on in the video game industry and the wider gaming community.
At long last we have our hands on the much-touted Cyberpunk 2077, and the verdict is... not great. In this episode, the guys dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of CD Projekt Red's latest effort.

Words About Games - Ep. 6 - Playstation 5
We got the Playstation 5. No, really... Each of us got a PS5!
Though exhausted from work and gaming on the latest and greatest, the guys take some time to discuss Sony's new console and several of its launch titles. Astro's Playroom takes them (and everyone else) by surprise as a favorite. Kyle gets a second job as a superhero in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Justin slaughters scores of Anglo-Saxons in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. We even get a quick peek at the quirky Bugsnax, as well as last-gen favorites No Man's Sky and Ghost of Tsushima.

Words About Games - Ep. 3 - Doom Eternal
Schedules? Who needs schedules?!
This episode Kyle and Justin discuss Doom Eternal. Justin talks about getting into shape (or at least, out of his current shape) with Ring Fit Adventure, but also plays a real game in Divinity Original Sin 2. The guys discuss Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda Softworks and the implications that has for the next gen of consoles, as well as the latest info drop on Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Editor Note: Apologies for the audio quality in this one. Kyle's mic wasn't positioned ideally, and there's only so much these amateur editing fingers can do. Plus the guy's fighting off a cold, so... come on.
