After discovering the next entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology will release later this year, Ryan and Jocelyn check out The Devil in Me, which they missed when it released in 2023.

In the news, Nintendo announces a LEGO Game Boy, Nintendo sent their lawyers to Genki’s CES booth over their Switch 2 mockup, we got a whole bunch of leaks for the Switch successor reveal, and Assassin’s Creed slips by a month (but not by a fiscal year).

Jocelyn has come to bargain in exchange for Ryan playing Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, which oddly leads to Jocelyn possibly watching all of the Knuckles series for Extra Life? Anyways, Jocelyn keeps up her end by playing Doki Doki Literature Club and Slay the Princess. Ryan continues to delay Laser Eyes with a 20 year old book by Chris Kohler titled Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life and his continuing adventures in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. In the news, Nintendo keeps their legal team busy by suing a content creator for streaming pirated content and an update on the Palworld lawsuit, while a Mass Effect television show is confirmed to be in the works at Amazon.
