VGH #382: Epaulets

We take Tetris 99 for another spin (get it) before jumping into an anime robot in Daemon X Machina and continuing to Warhammer things in Vermintide 2. Also, after countless grueling hours of Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Randy starts Etrian Odyssey Nexus.

The website broke

Hello, loyal VGH website visitors. You may have noticed some weirdness with the website this week. You weren’t just imagining things. The website was, in fact, broken. But now it’s working again, probably! Rejoice!

One unfortunate side effect is we had to throw away the old site theme and are just using some random new theme I found in the meantime. But it was about time for a change anyway. Maybe we’ll have an even newer theme soon.

Anyway, sorry if your podcast experience was disrupted this last week. The new episode still went out to subscribers without any interruption, though! You’re subscribed to VGH (on iTunes and Google), right?
