  • Games to relax: Elite Dangerous, Telltale Games back catalogue.
  • Games to focus: Cook, Serve, Delicious!, Monster Hunter, VALORANT.

In Game Club, we pick a game to both play seperately that we've never played before, and then come together on the show to discuss our thoughts. This time, we picked up To the Moon.

Jalada played To the Moon on Nintendo Switch, whereas Sefran played on Windows. They're both very different versions, which we discuss in the show! It's also available on OS X, Linux, Android and iOS.

Sound-byte 056: Your Lie in April <Ani-byte>

In this Sound-byte Sefran has the floor and continues his mini-series coinciding with his 'Anime Project 365', where he plans to watch an episode of anime every day for the whole of 2020 in an effort to catch up with shows that have passed him by.

This time, it's the 2014-15 anime Your Lie in April. In the UK, Subs and dubs are available on both Crunchyroll (for free!) or Netflix.
