This Week on The Casual Hour…
Bobby and Chase recap Summer Games Fest (and its surrounding shows) this week, and while a lot of games were shown, there were a lot fewer worth discussing. But that’s fine, because we also both got Switch 2 systems, and there’s plenty to talk about, from the form factor to the console’s flagship game release. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

This Week on The Casual Hour…
It’s a new month and a new console launch, so we’ve got a stacked monthly preview episode for you. Mario Kart, FBC: Firebreak and Death Stranding 2 lead a big lineup of games (and that doesn’t include any secret things coming from Summer Game Fest). In addition, Bobby’s gone deep in Doom: The Dark Ages while Chase buzzes around in To A T. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
