Thank you to our listeners for not running us out of town.
out of our digital spaces, which are the only places we have now, unfortunately, in this new world.
So he took a gun.
All right, let's get to it.
My name's Weston.
We have also next to me a man who is so excited to play an absolutely garbage-looking game called The Big Walk.
His name is David.
How's it going, David? It was going
so much better until that intro.
we are going on a big today's Monday we are going on a big walk tomorrow and we are going to have so much fun Weston is going to be convinced that whimsy does exist friendship the power of friendship will carry a game we're going to have so much fun
you know what I just realized is so tomorrow the big walk comes out Tuesdays you guys know are my basketball night so I never you know I don't do much Tuesdays besides that And basketball is canceled this week because Michigan has elections.
Yeah, so this is...
The recipe! They canceled
basketball for big work! Whoa!
Oh, man.
I've never had any desire to stream, but I don't know, something about that.
If we had the capability to stream, I feel like it would...
I mean...
I mean, everyone would hate me because I'd be shitting
on the game the whole time, but besides that...
I mean...
know,
maybe.
Whimsy.
We'll think about it.
We also have a man that I would consider one of my top four mass holes of all time.
Top four?
This
got so much worse between...
From top five to top four.
Ridiculous.
He's ahead of you.
There's probably more.
Fair enough.
This guy's making every day worse.
David's day, my day.
I'm trying.
I'm trying over here.
That's the whole point of the intro, to put you guys in a bad mood so you get better takes.
It's literally the whole point of the intro.
All right, well, after doing a bunch of news stuff in recent weeks, we're mostly clear of news this week.
So we can just talk games, which I'm happy about.
Side note, I'm going to actually remember to do this at the start of the pod for once.
If you think this pod's somewhat decent, give us a top tier rating and subscribe.
Like,
yeah,
do all that stuff.
Thanks.
That's all I have for that.
I'm not big on plugs.
All right, let's get to it.
So it's more of our usual formula this week.
So we will all be talking about a game.
Well, except for, I guess, David.
So I'll talk about a second one.
And then we were going to talk about the top five games we played in July, which I got to say, my list is pretty weird.
Andrew has been hyping his list behind the scenes.
David's will probably be the same as last month.
That's okay.
Big walk.
The August one will hit.
The August one will be
interesting.
Man, August has just been a big walk, big walk, big walk, big
walk.
