We share picks for games that we want to see on the list of "The Two Tens" and we need more people to play. After that, we talk about the excellent new games Town to City and Whisper of the House before unpacking Leo and Jacob's enthusiasm for Battlefield 6 and its new battle royale. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
