How accurate was 1991’s prediction of baseball in 2020? Nearly perfect, as it turns out. Except for the cyborgs, robots, instant-cash bonuses for hype plays and forcefields covering the stands…
“Outer Wilds” is a game where discovery is the main hook – an adventure that takes you to the furthest reaches of your solar system, and the very end of time itself. It quickly became one of Burnsie’s favorite games.
So how did Paul feel about it? Listen to our deep dive to find out…

Journey is the rare game that can be experienced in a single sit-down – so how is it that Jason never played this one?
Paul and Jason discuss this modern video game masterpiece, and Paul makes a lot of Journey puns in this month’s show.
DOOM (2016) defied all expectations when it released, and made millions of gamers discover or re-discover what old school speed shooters were made of.
Paul somehow missed it. This month: Jason and special guest Jeremiah bring Paul along as they pump up the Argent energy levels, open a portal and travel to the very depths of Hell itself.
Editors Note: At the time of recording, this game was on Xbox Game Pass – but has since been removed.
Paul has been trying to get Jason to play “Overcooked” and “Overcooked 2” since the beginning of the podcast. He has finally succeeded in this month’s episode.
So does Jason think that this game is a great couch co-op game, or the greatest? Or… something else.
Also – next month’s show we’ll be playing DOOM(2016) – So if you want to play along with us it’s out on Xbox “Gamepass” – or for sale pretty much anywhere. RIP AND TEAR.
How is possible that Paul has never played Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? On this month’s epsiode, Jason teaches Paul the ways of the force, so he can become a Jedi like his father.
