Sleep is essential for humans (and computers). It let's our thoughts settle and our cycles to reset. But what happens when other things invade those restful moments? How do we continue to interact with games while we sleep? And what is sleep really a metaphor for? Surprisingly, we tackle all of these issues, while also discussing the prospect of a permadeath Mario game.

In this episode: Steven falls asleep at the wheel. Tess sleeps to success. David has some strategey sessions while sleeping. Cotton calls Kirby a murderer.

Games discussed include: Forza Horizon 5, Universal Paperclips, Wild Hearts, Little Nemo: The Dream Master

E3 may have been cancelled this year but we still got all the presentations and showcases that we could ask for. Xbox and Bethesda, Limited Run, Capcom, Devolver Digital and Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. We go over all the news and announcements. All that and Dan gets a little salty over Microsoft's medicore showing.

As 2021 comes to a close, Dan and Dave look back at the stories that made 2021. And since this is the last episode of the year, they also go over their game of the year nominations. Who will get nominated and more importantly, who do you think will win?

Voice - the medium on which this and so many other types of content depend. It has the power to soothe and anger, sway and shame, enrapture and condemn. Also sometimes it causes ASMR, along with some like... crinkly plastic? Unfortunately for you, dear listeners, this episode only briefly delves into mukbang territory. This is "Voice" - we hope you enjoy!

In this episode - Giovanni does his best Bubsy impression. David tells you about his favorite store on the citadel. Tess has a hard time saying colors. Greg is replaced with his vocal understudy, Grag.
