Welcome to Episode 400! Jason dives back into Bright Falls with the Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2. It features 3 distinct stories in the Alan Wake multiverse. Brett and Austin play Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 at Dallas Fan Expo. It's a ton of fun and we can't wait for this game to come out this Fall! We also review the roguelike Crab Champions. It's a early access game made by another solo dev that is a blast to play!

In the news, Xbox had their Games Showcase with tons of new games from Call of Duty Black Ops 6 to Doom to Gears of War E-Day.
