About this episode

The hosts check in on their game predictions for the year and share personal gaming experiences.

Cast your minds back to the start of the year, in the dank, dark depths of winter, when our intrepid hosts, full of hope and joy, set out their stalls with their most hotly anticipated games of the year and risked it all to be crowned Best Boy 2026. Fast forward to late June: sweltering heat, the world in a state of turmoil, the perfect time to check in on how they're getting on. What are their scores so far? Any delays? Has Novellie's Curse struck again? The Boys will have a chance to change course by swapping out a game, but will they waver? But before that, we catch up with Pierre's honeymoon in the Land of the Rising Sun, Sarah's gnarly experience with game customisation and Glenn's HD-2D adventures.
