Cohh is on vacation so this week JP and Zeke are joined by Pro-gamers DatModz and Shroud! Before getting into the games we realize how young Shroud is to everyone's despair. Then we get down and dirty with Marathon, a very good game that may be too hard for the average player. Will that hinder the game long term? Then we go deep with our time with Crimson Desert, a weirdo game for the true freaks out there!
