This week we're joined by Colette's old friend from Destructoid, Aaron Linde. These days, Aaron is a writer and narrative designer for AAA video games, including Gears of War, Battleborn, Destiny 2, and an upcoming, little-known indie darling called Halo Infinite.

We reminisce about ye olden days of digital media, Aaron's leap into the fascinating world of game dev, and the big news on everyone's mind: Should I pre-order the Steam Deck so I can finally play Rimworld in the bathtub?

Also, we look back at The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in a post-BoTW world. And is Monster Hunter Stories a "real" Monster Hunter game?

Aaron's playing: Skyward Sword HD and Wind Waker
Colette's playing: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
Matt's playing: Titanfall 2 and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
