  • Tanked Up 325 – FIFA? More like FAFFA 22

    Ben played FIFA 22, courtesy of PS+. It devolved into a general discussion of FIFA, football games and the (lack of) iteration over the years in sporting games. Ben had Arbor’s Space Hardware NEIPA, Lucy Cloudwater’s West Coast IPA, and Aadil had Arbor’s Texas Sunday Morning Hazy India Pale...

  • Tanked Up 289 – Wii Pups on Crusade

    Ben, Lucy, and Aadil are joined by returning Guest Adam Thomas to talk about beer, games and… anime. Adam has been playing a lot of Crusader Kings 3, and almost convinces Lucy and Aadil to not just fondly listen to stories and patchnotes from it. Aadil relays the pains...
