Summary
The Embracer Group is embracing game companies again and…Lord of the Rings? Patrick takes us through its effort to consume all. Then, Rob digs into the Total War: Warhammer III called The Immortal Lords, which dares to ask: how many sieges is too many sieges? After the break, Patrick has been checking out We Are OFK, which sadly is no Sayonara Wild Hearts, before Cado and Ren debate playing as (and against) Bridget in Guilty Gear Strive. And in the question bucket, we debate if Napoleon was the Predator of 18th century Europe.
Discussed: Embracer Group 0:41, Total War: Warhammer 3 18:53, Neon White 56:12, We Are OFK 56:52, Guilty Gear Strive 1:10:27, The Question Bucket 1:24:05, Outro and Announcements 2:14:28

| 0:40.5 | time we were listening to it. |
| 0:42.0 | So I'm not going to make a we've been acquired by Embracer group joke but it was kind of |
| 0:46.4 | startling to see not only that by some lights they like have access or control over this |
| 0:55.2 | part of the clear on Lord of the Rings is it access to games rights or is it the rights |
| 1:02.3 | to the like actual things and to they also teased an announcement as part of this acquisitions |
| 1:10.0 | thing and the Embracer stuff the meme of this company sort of like embracing everything |

| 1:26.8 | mess they are chopped up in all sorts of different ways like for example it appears that Embracer |
| 1:31.9 | has the rights to make anything related to Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit but it can't |
