This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago.

Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
Valve only wants to sell you good games

This week, the gang ponder about the games that are coming in 2017, thinking about what they’re really interested in. The games range from Mass Effect: Andromeda to Injustice 2, among other titles.

Fallout 4 surpasses Skyrim to become Bethesda’s most successful game ever
Rainbow Six Siege year two: free loot, better matchmaking, subversive operators
