Brian is back from new parent hiatus and moving, and Corey welcomes him back with the technical issues and perceived lack of value for No Man's Sky.  Plus, it wouldn't be an episode without talking Blizzard, especially since it's Legion release day.  I know we don't have our opening music attached to this episode, but it's on my other computer.  A sincere thank you to each and every one of you that have stuck by us during this time off.
