For our second and final Columbo for the immediate future, we're diving into Fade in to Murder, and there we find an especially hammy William Shatner matching wits with our favorite TV detective while playing a famous TV detective himself. Layers!

2025-09-29 23:00:41 +0000 UTC View PostI’m back from vacation! I sanded and stained many doors (for the basement). I delivered many packages (in Death Stranding 2). I made many bad food choices (because I’m a weak, and easily corruptible soul). Even though I’ve now sunk close to something like 70 hours into Death Stranding 2, I feel like I have a long way to go. I also dropped more time into Silk Song and Ghost of Yotei, but t...

The Watchcast is back! And while we've got a shortened slate for September, that slate is going to be entirely populated with one of America (and the world)'s favorite detectives, Columbo! And we're kicking off our duet of Columbos with A Stitch in Crime, an early installment featuring Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy.
We’re back, y’all! Well, Brad and I are, anyway. Vinny’s still out there enjoying his vacation, and by that I mean he’s probably staining some wood or inhaling drywall or whatever it is he does for fun. So with him absent, it’s up to the two of us to entertain you for a whole week! Whatever will we do?!?
Well, actually, we’re mostly going to do what we always do! The Watchcast...

I can’t believe we’re already a week into September! I hope Silksong is meeting everyone’s expectations out there. I’ve been enjoying it though it was me looking at controllers with the best d-pads out there. Too many missed down and attack moves not registering correctly and CLEARLY it’s not my fault! I jumped into Helldivers with my son and his friend on Saturday and we got smoked b...
