Oh, and Yoda is pretty useless even after he becomes a toad man. We also talk about the amount of force exerted on Padme when she jumps onto that saddle.

Brendan, Dan, Leslee and Zach talk about their feelings on Star Wars Attack of the Clones. The true tragedy in this movie is there should have been more of a love triangle between Obi-Wan, Padme, and Anakin to really spice things up...

In all serious though Cyberpunk seems like a pretty fine game bugs aside. Then we discuss everyone's favorite award show! The Game Awards. The Last of Us 2 received several awards that felt earned and maabye one or two it didn't (I mean Hades also deserved to win more, I'm not biased).

Otherwise a bulk of the episode is about Destiny 2 and the Deep Stone Crypt. Brendan, and Dan ran the Day 1 raid with the Humble Heroes. While Leslee ran the raid with the Best Friends Club. Neither clan was able to finish the raid in competition mode within the 24 hours. The group asks the question, why does Bungie continue to make a game that players love to hate play? Zach continues to play Age of Empires II and stream weekly (Zakidunes). The song at the end of the episode is the "Deep Stony Lullaby," from the raid during the space walk that Brendan mentioned.
