What We've Been Playing - Time code: 02:44
- Doug feels the love as he plays more Overwatch with Marcus and tries to survive the night with Sean in Dead By Daylight (to middling results). Sean spends more time with Borderlands 2 to prep him for the impending release of Borderlands 3. DJ and his wife, Sheriene's, days are numbered in The Swords of Ditto while DJ sneaks in some Dragon's Dogma on the side. Last but not least, Cam digs up some janky old relics in Technomancer & Lords Of The Fallen which immediately make him contemplate re-downloading Overwatch & Dragon's Dogma.
