## Resource

Scott and Josh try to stay positive (until we get to the Xbox news later in the week) by jumping into the past, playing Max Payne 2, Halo 3 and the original Tomb Raider trilogy. Also, a bit of a Crimson Desert rematch. If you want to skip the World Cup talk, jump to about 15 mins into the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
