AVoCADo GamesCast #106: Douglas & Dewey

After delays due to technical difficulties and the DDoSing of the Internet Archive, we present to you a very belated Halloween episode. (Episode #107 has been recorded and is on its way, hopefully before The Game Awards.) In this episode, The Kappa and I talk about Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2, Hell of an Office, North American tourism, and our gaming hells. It’s a hellish episode!
