| 5/2/26 |  Somehow, the WSTR returned | The return of the WSTR? Batman cosplay? Matchmaking conspiracies? With just a month left in season 1, the boys chat about some upcoming changes Bungie is making to grenades and other aspects of the game. They also dive into the current Cryo meta, including a devious/awful strategy Skarrow has been implementing to rob people of their joy and keys. And the gang discusses many of the matchmaking conspiracy theories going on in the community, and why Bungie shouldn't confirm or deny them.Watch the video version of the show on YouTube via @Skarrow9 and @JakeTheAlright.Art by Michael Veselovsky | 1h 52m 53s | ||||||
