In our seventh episode we discuss the recent EA / Bungie Microtransactions debacle, some fun changes ahead at our facebook group The Savepoint (tiny.cc/savepoint) and show some serious love for our SavePoint Long Play this month: Shin Megami Tensai: Nocturne! We chat about our Thanksgiving, fun adventures with the family, and the games we can't get enough of right now! We hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to head over to The Savepoint and answer our next Question of the Bi-Week: What game have you picked up that ended up being the opposite of how you thought it would be? Good or bad. What made it so bad or good?

THE TRIO ARE BACK IN ACTION! In our sixth episode we celebrate the return of Travis! We talk about recent games we're playing (PALADINS!!!) Al gives his thoughts on Assassin's Creed: Origins, and how it teaches us to never miss with Hippos, because they WILL rampage through a nearby village. We talk about games that gave us "the real feelz", and dive in to the SavePoint's short and long play's for the month. And of course, recap a bit of Extra Life. Thanks to EVERYONE who donated this year FOR THE KIDS! It was incredible to see just how much we can do to help as a community. Also thanks to our brothers in arms, The Everyday Gamers, for the friendship and shoutouts. Enjoy everyone! Please leave a rating/review, and most importantly, share us with your friends!
