Episode 85 - Italy (part 2)

The Two Vague Podcast

Continuing the conversation about Italy… sort of… Andrew and Ben discuss Pringles flavors from around the world . Ben adds a little bit of trivia about their brand mascot before the conversation switches to video games. Street Fighter 6 has introduced a new character from Italy named Marisa (secretly Ben’s new waifu)! As promised in the airplane episode, Ben reluctantly played Assassin’s Creed 2 which he describes as a “game out of time,” and he shares his thoughts from his first 10 (and only) hours of play. To close out the show… Andrew’s recommendation and irony.
