In the words of the show, "I'm playing another RPG." But first, a brief flashback. This week, we're looking at One Piece Odyssey after months of saying we will.

Then, a long discussion on Dead by Daylight, where playing as the survivor just doesn't seem as fun. After that, the newly-released Meet Your Maker, where you face off against another player's devious world design. It's an episode full of showdowns! Also,
