Wow! Hard to believe we reached a sum total of 50 episodes! 6 out of the 50 have been non-Hall-centric, but to think we've played and covered so many games in the last 3 years is hard to believe. And what an awesome journey it's been as well. Thanks for coming alongside us. To celebrate, we're giving out "Best Of" awards to our Hall of Games entries, crowning only the best of the best. Plus, some trivia to stump Jared! We also discuss Lance Reddick, Fortnite updates, and of course our pick, Vampire Survivors! Here's to 50 more games!
