It's the middle of November 2025 which means that its time to Check In on all things Buenale Games! We start out talking about gamer injuries sustained while cooking paella, and our progress in November's Game of the Month, Hades II (spoiler alert: we're both done already, for better or for worse). From there, Ben talks about his video game hiatus, and JP takes us through a Short Story on The Dark Queen of Mortholme. We wrap up talking about gaming news, including our predictions for the game awards game of the year nominees as well as valve's surprise hardware drop.
