About this episode

We're joined by WARDOGS Game Directors: Howard Philpott & Mark "phantasy' Pinney this week to talk about filling a much needed niche in the FPS genre, why early access and plenty of viewer questions! Afterwards we chat about the awkwardness that is DLSS5, the GTA6 reveal that broke the internet, and a Witcher 3 remaster in the middle of a massive ton of game releases.
