Ben, Steve Ahlman, Matt James, and Justin Charity banter (sans spoilers) about their ongoing adventures in the Land of Shadow in 'Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree' and how they've handled the popular DLC's difficulty. Then, they share their big-picture takeaways from the year in gaming so far (25:00), collaboratively (and only semi-contentiously) construct a top 10 GotFHotY (games of the first half of the year) list (34:50), and pick the upcoming releases that they hope will make their year-end GotY draft (01:29:00).Host: Ben LindberghGuests: Steve Ahlman, Justin Charity, and Matt JamesProducer: Devon RenaldoAdditional Production Supervision: Arjuna RamgopalLearn more about your ad choices.
