This Month In Retronauts: November 2024 edition (Patreon)

Hello listeners, Diamond Feit here, and I am Ser-Not-Appearing-In-This-Program. Yes, if you've been paying attention to social media or you noticed that last week's column had no audio portion, you know I caught a cold this month (just in time for my birthday, argh) and it unjustly impacted my ability to speak. Luckily, a joke I made during last month's community podcast gave us an out, so I handed over hosting duties to Stuart Gipp for a special all-UK edition of This Month In Retronauts.

Extremely Scottish guest Seumidh MacDonald joins Stu for a discussion of what these two have been playing, recent news, releases, and of course they read your feedback. Stu even came up with an all-new listener question that's quite a doozy if you ask me; I haven't come up with an answer yet but I'll have one by December for sure.

Specific items mentioned in this episode include:

Vampire Survivors "Ode to Castlevania" DLC

League of Legends

also DOTA & Heroes of the Storm

Sonic X Shadow Generations
