SBFVGS - Ep.205: The Gaming Apocalypse
Episode 205
Monday, 20 July, 2026

After a seven-month hiatus, the boys are back to catch up on everything they've been playing and all things gaming. From David's experiences playing Donkey Kong Bananza to Adam’s platinum trophy run through Ghost of Yotei and Neva, the group shares their latest gaming addictions, including a deep dive into Bungie's Marathon and the surprising difficulty of Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
