Summary

If my eyes don't deceive me, I do declare it's another episode of the slowest-starting true crime podcast ever released. What's the crime? Keep listening for the reveal. In the meantime though, the Boys have been playing with themselves. Pierre's finally made a galactic breakthrough, Glenn's got hold of a very recent release and is discovering his undying love for it and Sarah's overcome the gloom in the most rad way possible (gnarly). Do you find sometimes it all gets a bit much? Life coming at you fast, nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide? You find yourself putting down the controller, stepping back from the keyboard and mouse and just... stopping. Well, this episode is about those gaming breaks and how you find your way back in. From new formats to friends and family, there's always a way to get hooked back on the good stuff.
