Welcome to another week of playing lots of games! Not only that, but we're shaking things up with our format too. In fact, we're putting together a few new ideas here so pardon our dust for the next few episodes. Hopefully it settles soon. This week we're doing the news discussion in rapid-fire one-sentence blurbs. We figure it's mostly stuff you've heard, and since we're playing more games these days we don't have as much airtime for other things. But we weren't all sold on just eliminating it entirely. And of course, us being us, we've found some questionable loopholes around this with our old pals the semicolons!

Aside from that, we played lots of games! Elliot finished Metroid: Samus Returns and SteamWorld Dig 2! Stevo streamed his triumph over Celeste on the Twitch channel. He's also playing The Witness to help him relax. I suppose there are worse games for calming the mind, but Josh and Elliot are baffled at the choice. And with even more time to spare, Stevo also played Yakuza 0! All three of us are making progress in Observer, the backlog game we rolled last episode. Will we have it done in time? It's gonna be close! Josh played a little Deus Ex Mankind Divided to top it off.

But don't blame Josh for not playing much this week, he was double podcasting! Check out his guest appearance on the next episode of Same Team Y'all! We're excited to see how he fares with Tess and Eric, so check him out on Friday. In the meantime, join the discussion! Leave a comment, tweet us at @rbpcast,or shoot us an email at questions@ratherbecast.com and we'll talk about it on the next episode. Use all the semicolons you want. See you in two weeks!
