Obviously the big news on everyone's lips and minds this week was the fact that I streamed Mass Effect for six hours on Monday.

And then of course once they were able to get over that news they discovered Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard have announced a $70 billion dollar deal for the former to absorb the latter.

So you know I had to dive into that.

I also discuss the following this week:

-New job exhaustion and new place anxiety.

-The Legend of Vox Machina cast reveal, namely a former Doctor joining the cast.

-My thoughts on Tal'Dorei Reborn and a big thanks to the friend who gifted me a copy.

-My love of the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast and lore.

-My initial impressions of the Book of Boba Fett series after two episodes.

-The super ok MCU entry The Eternals

-Troy Baker discussing "that tweet" from last week on the Play, Watch, Listen podcast he cohosts
