Summary

Shadow of the Tomb Raider's launch is imminent, and we've been playing it, so we decided to dedicate a portion of this week's episode to Eidos Montreal's latest. Our conversation focuses not only on the finer points of the game, though, but on Lara Croft herself. Does her selfishness and callousness make her an unlikable protagonist? We discuss. We also go into the copious news that's emerged over the last seven days. Rocksteady is openly hiring for a next-gen game. THQ Nordic's buying streak continues unabated, this time with the Kingdoms of Amalur IP. Henry Cavill has been cast in the upcoming Netflix Witcher series. And that's just the beginning of a heavy news week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:05.7	Colin Moriard. I'm joined today as always by my lovely co-host Chris Reagan. Chris, how are you today?
1:10.0	I'm doing doing good. Yeah. Before you started, you looked at me. It looked like you shut down for a
1:16.8	second. I did. I had an emotional breakdown, but just, like, just really quickly. Yeah. And then I
1:21.4	regained control of myself. No, I was stumbling. I do so many of these shows that I was stumbling
1:26.8	through. I'm like, what show is this? What am I doing? Oh, yeah. You introduced this as
1:31.7	like Sidequest once or so. Yeah, exactly. And I can't keep it all straight to be perfectly
1:35.9	honest with you. So Chris, are you well? How's everything going? I'm doing good. Yeah. I think last
1:41.2	week I was like, I felt way off because I think probably just the travel and just being tired.
1:45.6	I feel why I feel rested. It happens. I'm sympathetic to that because I hate when people
1:50.8	critique when people on podcast or video say that they're tired. You know, like, they don't
