You may have heard Tears of the Kingdom is upon us, so we spend a bunch of time on early impressions and BOTW comparisons this week before moving on to the delightful people-puzzling of Humanity, the Overwatch 2 PvE cancellation, some sure-to-be-timely speculation about the new Mortal Kombat, and more.

We're smack-dab in the middle of our Some Guys Are Coming to Kill Us theme, and this week we talk at length about one of the greatest licensed soundtracks of all time in 1993's Judgment Night! And we talk about the movie too, if you're into that sort of thing.

Welcome back! I’m playing Tears of the Kingdom and I’m still getting used to the systems and how they can be used in the game (intended or not).

Another month means another theme on the old Watchcast, and this month's was voted on by our patrons! They chose "Some Guys Are Coming to Kill Us", and to kick things off we've turned to a familiar and favorite director in John Carpenter and his '70s exploitation classic, Assault on Precinct 13!

There are so many games out there lately that filling out this poll was the easy part. Now you have to decide!
Alex played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the UK blocked the Microsoft/Activision merger, so you can imagine we devoted a lot of this episode to those subjects. But also: Advance Wars: Reboot Camp, Horizon: Burning Shores, Stranded: Alien Dawn, condiment strategies, and accidentally getting elected to office.
