I can’t believe we’re basically done with September already, it felt like we just got here! I’ve had plenty of games to play so maybe it’s one of those ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ situations. Speaking of having fun, this week is packed so let’s get right to it!

On Monday we’re back with more Valheim (I think someone proposed Monheim?) and I jumped into our server over the weekend and work has been done. On Tuesday Abby is here with more Fright or Shite as we begin our October transition. Finally, we’ll have Patron’s Choice on this Friday and there might be some time to vote still before it closes, though I would love to see Brad get a WoW code and play that!

Over in Podcast Village we’ve got our last batch of Star Trek episodes before The Watchcast switches into its horror block. We’ve also got The Ramblecast, Podcast, Never Been a Better Podcast, and a Planorama this week! That’s a lot of casts!
