Episode 83 | “Calm Before The Storm”

Join Sikamikanico and Shpeshal Nick for a refreshingly chilled yet rejuvenating evening sipping the finest brandy and discussing the wonderful medium that is VIDYA GAEMZ.

We’re here to discuss secret projects, potential backwards compatibility updates, The Gunk, Forza Horizon 5 breaking all kinds of records, Microsoft’s updates to their PC app and of course, there’s a whole lot of smoke around Halo Infinite to chat about.

As always, we’ll dive into the community questions from our Patrons and visit our superchats along the way!
