This week the Boys try to settle the debate raging across the country: which historical or futuristic period makes the best setting for a game? From early symbolic thought through to space travel across the outer reaches of the universe, gaming covers every era, but which one suits it best?
Before all that, we check in on Glenn to see how he's dealing with the social media backlash to his Crimson Desert comments and discuss perhaps the most impressive listener contribution to date: a functioning version of Pierre's Commander Sexy pitch. Links below.
Pierre continues his quest to get to the bottom of the sandpit, Glenn asks the big questions about The Sims and Sarah attempts to breed on a scale even Elon Musk would be jealous of.
