BACK POCKET TONIGHT
The Gang Hosts A Video Game Variety Show
i hope the Always Sunny theme was playing in your head as you read that. last week we had a family episode after our boy Bombastic had to call in sick (never fear, he'll be back soon), so Gus, Pete, Ruby and Will sat around and chatted about their highlights from the Gamescom Opening Night Live, rattled their brains for a few rounds of The Da Video Game Code (DA VINKY???), and finished off with some Hit! Spin! Watermelon Party. check it!

Gus Does Some Silksong Prepping
the clown wigs have been YANKED off as Hollow Knight Silksong finally got a release date of September 4th, so Gus decided to do a bit of homework and return to the original Hollow Knight in preparation.
SOCIALS
and here's what went out on socials!!
and that's what you missed on glee!!!
THIS WEEK ON BACK POCKET
this vault wanderer will be alone no longer when he joins us on the show, it's Jonny "LoneVaultWanderer" Roses!
~~~
as for BTBP,
while he hasn't been gaming much outside of Mafia: The Old Country and the game he's talking about this thursday, Pete is planning to play Split Fiction with friend of the show DaleBastion later this week. that's right, they're going girl mode.
our producer Adele has been going bananas for Donkey Kong Bananza, and has been cheesing through it by playing the co-op mode with her husband. OOH AHH OOH OOH AHH
Gus has been getting through Hollow Knight (as you may have seen on stream) and has just beat Hornet, who he insists on calling 'Silksong'. makes sense, if it's in the title why WOULDN'T it be her name??
I've been playing OFF in preparation to talk about on the show. i mean, Undertale is my favourite game off all time, so i'd be silly not to play one of the games that inspired it. also, i'm gearing up for the new Fortnite Festival season, but not because i like that game mode. i'm actually really bad at it. but i am, however, a HUGE Gorillaz fan and i NEED to play as Noodle.
and finally, Will hasn't been playing anything BUT he HAS been watching the new season of Twisted Metal and is really enjoying it!!! and it's his BIRTHDAY so please remember to drop a happy birthday in the comments to back pocket's resident sweet boy!!!
ANYWHO!!!!!!! if you haven't drunk any water today, DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've been trying to drink more water lately and who'd have thunk it, i actually feel really awesome and hydrated. funny that!!!!
i hope you're having a lovely start to the week, and that all your dreams come true.
much love,
