Jusant’s Sky-High Peaks Are Worth the Climb

Kicking off our annual Pride Month celebration, we're talking Jusant: the journey of a nameless, gender-ambiguous mountain climber on a mission to reach the peak of a mountain, climbing through the ruins of a vertical society. After a lengthy climb, the buds rest at the peak of the spire to go over some MORE of their favorite Magic: the Gathering cards from the upcoming Final Fantasy collaboration, but we promise that's the last time we'll do it.

Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy is Completely Deranged

This episode of Light Gaming is La Croix: Medieval flavor at best this week when Jerome and Alex discuss of Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy, and only because the writers went absolutely medieval on this extremely loose adaptation of The Bike Tour Mystery. To liven things up, they bring back an old favorite and talk about some of their Side Quests! Hint: they're both very French, except for the one that's not. Enjoying Light Gaming?

The Procession to Cavalry Folie à Un, and Blue Prince Folie à Deux

Jerome and Alex pass through the Procession to Cavalry and stab a bunch of paintings in the process, surely those paintings don't contain any value whatsoever.
