In the main event, Ryan gives us what he likes and doesn't like in his 80% review of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater!

Roblox is in the news again. Ryan and Chris discuss the ongoing issues with their safety protocols. Peta wrote a letter to Nintendo. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater reviews are in! We'll let you know what the people are saying! Call of Duty 7 gets massively disliked on YouTube. And in a general discussion, how hard is it to avoid crossovers with other popular IPs? We'll wrap with a triple threat of reviews: Donkey Kong Bananza, Robocop: Rogue City, and Mafia: The Old Country!
