This week I had to do a full spotlight on the Star Fox franchise! The new game is now out for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it is spectacular! By all accounts this game is flying off shelves and is being received quite positively. This is especially timely as there is also a glut of terrible news in the PlayStation and Xbox worlds, whereas Nintendo is the lone platform keeping the joy of gaming alive. This week I go over every main release for this franchise, which has seen various ups and downs over the years, and I give you my opinion on all of them! Tune in to hear about what makes this franchise so special, and why the most recent release is a game changer.

In the finale to my month of Raveloft content, I am going to sum it all up. I have talked already about the best Ravenloft supplements out there from the older editions (which was primarily in AD&D 2e), I did my impressions of the new Campaign Setting book The Horrors Within for 5.5e, and even a look at the preorder incentive Shadows of Sithicus. To cap it all off, I am going to compare Ravenloft's different representations from the two different editions it has appeared in the most: 5e/5.5e and AD&D 2e. There are lots of notable differences between them and there will be many people who prefer one over the other, so it's time to determine which one does it best. Tune in to hear how I identified and classified each expression of this famous setting and which one I feel comes out on top.

I have been playing 007: First Light, Mina the Hollower and more recently, The Adventures of Elliot quite a bit, so naturally, I thought it would be a good time to share my impressions of these games! It is a surprisingly active time for video game releases in what is typically a quiet release time of the year. All 3 of these games really are pulling my attention each night and it is sometimes very difficult to settle on which one to play. Regardless of choice though, it is going to be a good time. With number of huge releases lined up for the rest of the year to come, tune in to this week's episode to see if any of these ones currently available might tempt you in the meantime.

The new Ravenloft: The Horrors Within book has now been released widely and is easily available for purchase wherever you get your D&D books from.

If you already own Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, then you will want to hear this episode first to see what the crossover content is like. I also give my brief impressions on all the supporting products that came out with this book - the Ravenloft DM Screen, Map Pack and Tarokka Deck. Tune in to hear if this group of releases will appeal to you.

The last Summer game showcase of the big platform holders happened last week and it's time to review it. Nintendo was the first company to push the Direct style of presentation that now dominates the industry in the Summer rush of announcements, and whether you love, hate, or find yourself somewhere in between with your feelings for Nintendo, it's hard to deny that they also handle this format as one of the best. This year was different though, as Nintendo had held off on an early year Winter general direct, so there was definitely some pent up anticipation. After a few prominent leaks and sky high expectations, the 50 minute show finally aired, and in typical internet fashion, everyone has opinions.. including me! Tune in to hear my thoughts on this big show and how it compared to the other big ones from this Summer's series of game showcases.

I was pretty excited when I saw that a pre-order incentive for the new Ravenloft book was going to be Shadows of Sithicus, which is also the scenario that will be the basis for the newly revamped D&D Encounters public play program to support their new seasonal model. The reason for my excitement was that this is the name of a very well done Ravenloft scenario from Dragon Magazine issue # 351 in the 3rd edition era. My mind started speculating on all the cool connections we might see. Is this going to be a 5e remake of that scenario? Or will it be a continuation? Well now that it has been out for a bit, I have had a chance to look this new scenario over, and it turns out it is something I did not expect. Tune in to hear my thoughts overall and a side by side comparison of the 2 similarly titled adventures.

Once again it feels like E3! With these game showcases scheduled so close together, it really feels exciting. This year was a really big one too. This week's episode will focus on Sony's State of Play, Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, and XBOX's Games Showcase. All 3 were massive and they all had huge news. I couldn't even fit in the proper news cycle for this week's show with the amount of announcements that got made! Tune in to hear what I thought of each show and what games got me the most excited.
