00:00 - Fridge biscuits and a shocking revelation about eggs.
08:59 - Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, why it’s Fortnite crossed with Takeshi's Castle, and its obvious similarities with The Last of Us Part II.
26:59 - With UK Games Expo going digital this year - calling it Virtually Expo - we were asked by our pals at Kosmos if we wanted to be part of their booth. We did! And we talk about how our video about food and board games pairings turned out.
33:29 - Fans of Portal, The Stanley Parable, and The Witness are going to really like Pillow Castle’s Superliminal, which plays with scale in a smart and sometimes hilarious way.
41:39 - If you’re getting into the hobby of board games, Reiner Knizia’s name comes up a whole bunch, being considered one of the very best designers in the business. His legacy game is called My City, and we think it’s a great “My First Legacy Game” for people looking to try out the sub-genre.
All that, and the correct place to keep ketchup, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Sam (@MrSamTurner), and Peter (@XeroXeroXero).
