66 - Hitman (feat. Alice Caldwell-Kelly)
Added 2022-12-21 07:01:00 +0000 UTCAlice Caldwell-Kelly (Trashfuture/Kill James Bond!/Well There’s Your Problem) inducts the lads into the World of Assassination as they do a suit-only, silent assassin run through IO Interactive’s pinnacle of video game design: Hitman. Topics include the richness of the game’s environmental storytelling, the tardiness of chandelier repairmen, and that beautiful, bald backstabber of the bourgeoisie: Agent 47.

Comments
I kinda expect spoilers for the game being discussed, but could you PLEASE refrain from spoiling other games? The comment about death stranding was totally unnecessary.
