After an extended break for us, the weekend is finally returned which means you get to enjoy our incredible review of Helldivers II! Helldivers II is the game that ignited social media for the beginning of 2024 and has maintained its prevalence in the gaming space this year. We're joined by our friend and patron, Eric Gess, returning to the show to deliver Freedom and Managed Democracy to all our wonderful listeners. Take some time while you're washing the dishes, cooking dinner, or mowing the lawn to show to YOURSELF what it means to be free!
