On this episode of The GAP, Luke has been uslurped! Joab reigns supreme, and to fill the void left by Luke's absence he has recruited two fantastic alternatives! Game critics and raconteurs Nathan Lawrence and Andreas Klebo-Espe join the show to talk about how Joab's intros are terrible.
The three of them also talk about Quake 2 Remastered, Desynced, Turbo Overkill, Tales and Tactics, PlayerUnknown's PUBG Battlegrounds and the big game of the week, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, which both Kleb and Nate have finished and reviewed.
In the news, Joab was peer-pressured by the other two to not take any notes before or during the show and so if they talked about any news he can't remember it. Decent chance they didn't talk about anything though.
