In this month's epic episode: we each go on a journey of discovery with Indika; James drops into the Simpsons season of Fortnite and completes one of his new favourite games of all time; and I get suitably spooky with Ghost Town on the Meta Quest and Alan Wake 2. Plus we discuss the recent (ish) changes to Xbox Game Pass, Halo coming to PlayStation and some upcoming releases that have caught our eye.

But fear not and footy-phobics - we also talk gigs, games and general gibberish as we go through what else we've been doing, watching and playing this month.
