We are at the end of January already, after a whirlwind month to start off 2025. I needed to record to give myself and hopefully you a little distraction and to catch up on some gaming and anime thoughts. First off I got an awesome birthday gift to talk about, then we dive into game talk and later discuss the Winter anime shows on my radar so far. Timestamps
