This week on Checkpoint Chat we take some quick shots of games at the bar, touching on Microsoft Flight Simulator, Death's Door, Trackmania, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Halo Infinite. You might say we're drunk on goodness.

This week we finally get to play Z-Man Games Love Letter as our brave adventurers attempt to communicate with the Princess Aurelia, future Queen and ruler of Yll Ouranos the sky city. Despite the urgency of the situation; Lira is intent on making a fool of Alloren, Kiera lives up to her name by not putting all of the cards on the table, and Andromache does what only Andromache can. Will the winning letter prove to be a get out of jail free card?

Oops... It appears that the technical problems we experienced in the livestream impaired the quality of the sound to such an extent that we cannot release the content in podcast format. Instead we thought we'd take you back to the tale of Izaia, as a way to explain Kiera's desire to seek out and find her mother.

If you are on our Discord channel, we will release last week's content (as bad as the sound is) to our puffersharks

This week on Checkpoint Chat, Matty has FEELINGS on Chicory, Sandy is so very close to the heartbreaking end of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the pair decide what the best animal companion would be.

In a titanic battle of wits, dazzling argument, and nerdy knowledge, RetroBlasting and Reklaimers Vintage Toys propose the motion:

"GI Joe A Real American Hero #51-101 is a superior run of issues to #1-50"

Analog Toys and GI Joburg will oppose the motion. YOU decide the outcome!
