As strange as it sounds, there's something comforting about the loneliness of Don't Starve. You're stuck in a world with nothing but the sound of chipping birds and the occasional gust of wind. It's daunting, with so many ways to die and constant new things to discover, Don't Starve is intimidating, yet rising to the challenge is incredibly fun. How can a world that is seemingly so empty have so much to do in it? Sterling is joined by Jazzy's Games, a content creator with a deep passion and love for Don't Starve. They've both built relationships around a survival game that was meant to be isolating, yet they've built so much community around it. Relax and enjoy this episode but just remember there is only one rule, Don't Starve.

While most gamers grew up playing Super Mario 64, Abram & Sterling grew up in the days of the Wii and fell in love with the beautiful planets of Super Mario Galaxy. From the tropical paradise of the Beach Bowl Galaxy to the sweeping melodies of Gusty Garden, this game oozes gorgeous visuals, inventive gameplay, and one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming. We go off the rails a wee bit as we get lost in our passion for Nintendo, but we try to do right by Super Mario Galaxy, as it deserves all the praise it gets. Who knew space could have so much colour?

The bell has been run and the first flame is dying. But the age of fire may yet be prolonged despite the ritual being abandoned by its bearer.

In this episode, Sterling is joined by two veterans of the dank halls of Lothric, Eric Vincent & Jeremy Cradlebaugh, to talk about the world of Dark Souls 3. Released only six years ago, has this game already become a classic? Relax as Eric and Jeremy retell Dark Souls 3 has shaped them as gamers.
