We still mean it, but what we also mean is that we'll make the dang episodes when we can make 'em. Listen, we don't always get to choose what obstacles we face in life, you know?

Short play lists and sore throats are keeping this week's show coming in nice and slim.

Scott's gone wings-on with SkateBIRD, a Tony Hawk-alike that's full of charm but fails to stick the landing, and he's gone back to Tristram to rescue Deckard Cain once again to celebrate Diablo II: Resurrected, which is both new and shiny and very much still Diablo II. Evan's been dipping into the font of gaming goodness that is the year 2017 with …
