episode 58: zach pls
It's a news-y kind of week as we ponder a single-player Apex Legends game, 2022 video game release dates, Peter Weller's totally-still-serviceable Robocop, and E3's future under ReedPop. Also, games such as Matchpoint: Tennis Championships, Cuphead, Horizon, Last Call BBS, and Vampire Survivors, plus two whole emails, one of which features the son of Mel Blanc!
