And that's it for shameless self-promotion. Time to talk about the latest and greatest in the world of video games. Let's get started.

All right. Hey, everybody, welcome to four-player podcast, episode 863.

It is February 5th, 2026.

I am your host, Nick Henderson, joined as always by Brad Simons.

What's up?

Christopher Guthridge.

Hello.

And Christopher Davis.

Hello, good evening. How are you?

Good evening.

Oh, you know, we've had a, we've had a night of some technical difficulties, and we watched a bunch of trailers, and maybe we went a little long, because we got really, we got really into watching and talking about Crimson Desert before the show, which was, which was pretty cool. Too bad people couldn't hear the audio. They can hear us. They couldn't hear the game audio. But who cares? The game just looks kind of fucking incredible. So that's the important thing. It's going to get like a 76. But I'm telling you, it's going to be like, they're like, dude, I know it's a 76, still play this. I feel like that's what critics are going to be like. 76s are some of my favorite games in the world. So I'm, if it gets a 76, to me, that's like a 95, man. That means I'm going to love it. I'm here for it. We'll see what happens. Yeah, no, I mean, it is kind of true.

Some of my favorite games of all time just happen to also be like 70s. Some of my most hated games are 95s. There we go. So anyways, yeah, welcome to the show. Guys, we got probably a little bit of a shorter episode for you this week. Just not a lot of new stuff.

But hey, 75% of us here I've been playing Cairn, so we'll talk about that. But before we get into that... Also, the other game, there's almost nothing to say about it. And you'll see what I mean. Okay. Well, I was making the art for this episode, and the way I have it set up is I put a screenshot of like two of the games that we're talking about in the show, but we only have two games to talk about tonight.
