Well, not everyone, but a bunch of people from the Exclusive Gamewank Discord got together with Jim to record Community Gamewank, a mad experiment that actually worked!

 

In this we discussed:  

 

Trekkies and Trekkies 2: the most tragic documentaries of all time

 

Why are Square Enix betting the farm on crypto?

 

Who are Embracer and why are they buying everything?

 

Who cares, as long as we get new Deus Ex and Tomb Raider?

 

What Marvel Midnight Suns reviews got wrong!

 

Also: does Richie really hate Jim's cat? And the SHOCKING truth about the infamous "Star Trek t-shirt and a hot girl in a lift" story.

 

Thank you so much to Victoria! Bickmore! Fish Balloon! El Raginho! Gregamiah! PJams! Kyun! Truls B! And all of you for listening! We'll be back again for easter.
