Catch the VOD on https://www.twitch.tv/thirdshiftme/.
Not much news on the Gearbox scene this week, so we discuss We Happy Few and the events post-release, go off on a space tangent, and talk about Fortnite's latest patch.
Due to some work-related issues, we've pulled down our Patreon-exclusive Blooper Reel #3 with the added bonus of the laugh track we played on Episode #100 (minus our own giggle track from the same show - math is fun!).
If you'd like to hear the uncut version of this reel along with a few others that are patron-exclusive (including a sing-along, what?), head on over to our Patreon and drop a buck in our tip jar.
We sit down with Gearbox Publishing's own Joe King and ask all the hard-hitting questions.
Fortnite's storm is steadily moving and We Happy Few is out SO GO GET YOURSELF A COPY NOW!
Headless men escaping a prison on a crazy island, bulbous individuals playing various mini-games, traveling into space and checking out what the universe holds for us, and much more.
We say goodbye to a beloved community member, challenge everyone to a $1,000,000 game of Borderlands 2, jet to the top with Fortnite, and get even more hyped for We Happy Few.
Fortnite turns one, Compulsion Games continues to ramp up to the release of We Happy Few, and Earthfall receives mixed reviews.
Do you like robots, shooting things, puzzles and platforms and men who have mushroom heads, movies about people with mushroom heads, comic books, TV shows, or scandals? Well, this is the show for you.
