Tom: Welcome to Monday! Enjoy this absolutely garish header image of Quinns ‘searching for cheeky boards’ (his words, not mine) to gradually guide you into this week like it were a scalding hot bath and the image is, I don’t know, a big hoist or something. It’s been a long week. 

This Thursday, we should have that bumper four-pack review ready and waiting – a whole cluster of games that are perhaps as exciting as they are expensive. Keep ‘em peeled over on the YouTube channel for that one – I think it’s shaping up to be a ‘big giggler’ (my words, unfortunately).

On Friday, Quinns and I are tackling a perfectly-plotted arc of a podcast – charting a course from clear cards (3000 Scoundrels) through asymmetric pirates (Ahoy) to finally land at a perfect merger of those very same ideas! That game is Dead Reckoning, and we reckon it’s dead weird.

That’s this week! What have you been up to, everybody?

Tom: And we’re back! After an absolutely fabulous, surprisingly smooth SHUX 2022, the team are all back home, a little bit rested, and ready to get some HOT GAMES onto the internet as soon as possible. Let’s get cracking.

Next week we’ll have a fresh video for you – a bumper quadruple-review special of games that share a common theme! Myself and Quinns will be tackling that one, though he has the thankless task of actually wrangling the scripting and editing process. Me? I’m just there. In the video. To give bad opinions about cardboard.

On Friday, we’ll be bringing the podcast out from its month-long-slumber (sorry!) with an episode all about the previews we made for SHUX! This one is live, it’s loose, it’s full of mistakes and allusions to an unobservable powerpoint. What a joy! We’ll have another live podcast following that, and then we’ll be back to some sort of schedule – ready to share thoughts on games like Twilight Insription, Splendor Duel, Great Western Trail: Argentina, Galileo Project… the list goes on!

I’m also thinking of streaming some videogames at some point soon for a SHUX debrief and to ramble about all the plans for the site as we slide into the end of 2022. I might play something cerebral and interesting, or I might just absolutely plaster some screebs in Destiny 2, because they deserve it.

That’s all for this week! Thank you so much for your patience with a relative lack of ‘typical internet products’ coming down the pipe recently – we’ve got some incredibly exciting games to tell you all about very soon.
