9&8 case study

Oh Yeah… It’s Gamer Time

This June marks three years since the death of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world’s biggest video game trade show. Here’s what the Kicks crew is playing while we pour one out in E3’s memory.

Matt — Along with the usuals like PUBG and League of Legends, I’m playing New World and Helldivers 2.

Josh — The only thing I play is mind games and Russian roulette.

Chris — My backlog is bonkers right now. I’ve got Baldur’s Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Halo Infinite and the new Elden Ring DLC on the bench.

Summer — Well with 4 playthroughs of Baldur's Gate 3 behind me, I’ve had plenty of time to juggle a new Stardew Valley run and ongoing games in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Destiny 2, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and Kingdom Hearts III.
