The lads venture in to the Gungeon with community hero Neil Watts (aka Muppet). Neil is our discord moderator, the gatekeeper of our website but most of all a dear friend and a sweet soul. Enter the Gungeon is a topdown roguelike where everything is based around guns. Guns and puns. Imagine the structure of pretty much any roguelike, then PERFECT IT, and you'd be well on your way to envisioning what the Gungeon has to offer. Also its hard as hell.  DEATH STRANDING 2 SPOILERS 1:18:00 - 1:25:40 As a reminder there is no main podcast episode in October, so we will see you on November 28th!
