Welcome back to Friends Per Second! This week Lucy is in charge while we talk through game ownership, preservation and piracy, wonder allowed at what it will take for TLOU Part 1 to earn that hefty price tag, and we do a mid-year checkpoint on the best (and worst) releases of 2022.
Shoot us an email! We'd love to answer your questions. Hit up [email protected]. Make em weird but not *too* weird. You know what I'm talking about.

Let's meet our hosts:
- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino
- Lucy James is a Senior Producer at Gamespot and a Creative Producer at Giant Bomb. She's actually, like, experienced and credentialed and has real life skills and stuff, while the rest of the gang would be funemployed if the YT algorithm didn't kiss them for random, inexplicable reasons. Oh, and she streams, too: https://www.twitch.tv/lucyjamesgames
- Jirard (aka The Completionist: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatOneVideoGamer) has been doing YouTube since before Noah wore short pants. Over the course of more than a decade, Jirard has completed HUNDREDS of games to bring you the quality of review that almost no other reviewer dare bring you, getting the 100% completion trophy for every title before putting pen to paper. Jirard has a let's play channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/superbeardbros). He's a host on the newly re-launched X-Play (https://www.youtube.com/c/xplay) and in his spare time he fires off the occasional hot-take over on Twitter: @TheCompletionist
- Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he's never had a better job since then.

Ep 2: Diablo Immortal + Resident Evil feat. The Sphere Hunter

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Friends Per Second Podcast! This week we do a deep dive on Diablo Immortal and ask: 'what do you even say to this?'. We take a look at a the very (very) early announcement of Fallout 5, the recent Steam Next Fest and the hot-off-the-presses 3rd Party Nintendo Direct. Oh, and we played some videogames as well - stuff like Outriders Worldslayer, Neon White, The Quarry and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
