We had to take a quick week off, so Fred is here to explain the details.  As a bonus he adds a positive spin on some recent negative announcements in gaming.

This week Trees largely lays low while Fred takes a road trip to the Midwest Gaming Classic.  It turns out the adventure is almost as eventful as the destination.  On the gaming front: 1:46:00 - Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 1:55:00 - Bugsnax 2:08:10 - Cyberpunk 2077 2:39:30 - Demon's Souls (PS5) 2:52:15 - PS5 VRR 3:01:40 - MC2SIO

This week Trees tells us all about his adventures up the coast and visiting Freeman kingdom.  He also started an actual e-mail for sending in any questions you may have: questionsfortrees@gmail.com, so send those in for an upcoming bonus episode!    On the gaming front: LEGO City Undercover (1:26:30) Ghostwire: Tokyo final thoughts (1:33:25) Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon final thoughts (1:42:30) Destroy All Humans! final thoughts (1:44:50) Demon's Souls Remastered (1:50:00)

Fred flies solo to discuss gaming news and community questions

This week Trees goes game shopping while Fred has to deal with a broken DualSense (PS5) controller.  On the gaming front: Car Mechanic Simulator (55:10) Mass Effect Andromeda (1:00:00) LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (1:15:40) Spyro 3 (1:33:00) Destroy All Humans! (1:35:30) Ghostwire: Tokyo (1:38:30) Hacked PS3 (1:57:20) X-Blades (1:59:00)

This week Trees is back to standard routines while Fred goes to the movies with Morbius and Sonic 2 (both spoiler free).  We're actually giving time tags now for the gaming section: Mass Effect 3 *spoilers throughout* (55:00) Mass Effect: Andromeda (1:37:30) Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (1:44:20) It Takes Two (2:09:30) Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (2:22:00) Spyro 3 and Retro gaming (2:29:00)

Despite the short description, this is a long show (almost 3 1/2 hours).  This week Trees is dealing with movie-like drama while Fred overdoes it.  There's also a side tangent about games media and podcasts as well as listener question about the new Playstation Plus subscriptions.  Finally in gaming Trees is wrapping, and enjoying, Mass Effect 3 while Fred played Destroy All Humans! (2021), Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and his highlight Ghostwire: Tokyo.

This week Trees has an uplifting series of events while Fred talks about plans to attend the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee at the end of April.  On the gaming front, Trees is making his way through Mass Effect 3 and finding it's not as strong as he'd hoped and remembered.  Fred is wrapping Mass Effect 2 and finally retires Tunic.

This week Trees struggles with illness and coy cheerleaders while Fred attends a Journey concert.  On the gaming front it's all Mass Effect for Trees as he wraps up the second game and goes right into the third.  Fred also played Mass Effect 2 but found time to dig into the first third of Tunic, try (and discard) Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, and deal with a broken Genesis controller port just to play the terrible Incredible Hulk game.

This week starts out with pop culture and lifestyle before moving into one big game.  Hope you like Mass Effect 2 because the hosts of this show are hooked.  Warning: Mild spoilers from 1:05:00 through most of the rest of the show.  In addition Fred has been killing a handful of minutes daily with the early access run-based title that heavily borrows from Castlevania called Vampire Savior.

This week is all about the exciting lives our co-hosts lead but it also ends up in random celebrity discussions.  On the gaming front Trees is introducing his son to Lego City Undercover and deep into the world of Mass Effect Legendary Edition.  Fred's daughter is delving to the wonderful world of online gaming with Fortnite, he has some stern criticisms about the opening of Cyberpunk 2077, and has finally started ZombiU, a game he bought at the console launch of the Wii U.

This week we're late but it's episode 100 so who cares, right?  Trees and Fred discuss what they've been up to (including why this ep wasn't on time).  On the gaming front Trees continues to grind away at Car Mechanic Simulator, nearly wraps Mass Effect, and toys around with two of the "99" Switch games (Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99).  Fred has soft modded his Wii U, wrapped up Spyro 2, and gone all retro with Jay & Silent Bob Mall Brawl, along with some initial impressions of Cyberpunk 2077.
