It’s always fun to speculate about the lore behind video games. It’s for that exact reason that tons of channels and websites are dedicated to finding the truth behind video game universes. Alex and David share some of their favorite theories, ranging from the strange remnants of the 1994 MMO game Worlds.com to questioning the very fabric of the world we live in.

Of course, before we get into that, we chat about the games that we’ve been playing and some upcoming news. Alex documents what Zack Snyder’s cryptic tweet could mean, while David gets hyped for the upcoming V Rising update this May. From the nature of the horror genre to the visual details of Amsterdam Drift in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there is once again more than enough to talk about. Come listen to us!
