We (@grantsgamerecs.bsky.social @chrispyha.bsky.social) played a ton of new 2P board games and picked out the best for ya.
We decided it was the year of the 2-player game! So many great ones came out that we couldn't cover them in one episode (and not without the help of special guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social).

When I first was playing Arc Raiders, I wouldn't go solo. I had no desire to interact with any strangers, so I'd just wait to play with friends.
But now I'm playing solo > multiplayer. The rush of surviving and extracting by yourself is too good. And the community is friendlier than I had expected.

When I first met @chrispyha.bsky.social 15 years ago, she didn’t follow or know anything about college football.
Yesterday after I told her about Notre Dame opting out of a bowl game: “Well, they should’ve joined a conference!” 😍

I have such fondness and nostalgia for Tony Hawk’s Pro Slater 3. Playing the remake is bringing me back to all the hours spent starting a run, messing something up, and hitting pause to restart the level.

Tron: Ares was such an awesome spectacle in IMAX. Great references if you’ve seen the previous films
Also, I don’t know how to mount a light cycle.

FWIW, Borderlands 4 seems to run on my old PC just fine, albeit on lower settings. 🤷♂️ (AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GeForce RTX 2070 Super) The game is a little buggy in areas, but performance is there.

The Long Walk movie is doing a creative special screening where you have to walk to watch the movie, and if you slow down or stop, you’ll be asked to leave. (it totally fits the premise of the film) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BtgR58/
COULD YOU DO THIS??? #TheLongWalk had a special screening where viewers had to walk on treadmills the entire movie…or they were kicked out of the theater if they stopped 😂 #fypage #movies #dontstop

The more I hear/read about Amazon's War of the Worlds (the one starring Ice Cube), the more excited I am to see it. But it's crept up to 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. I wanted to be able to say that I watched a zero-percenter.
