Ollie expresses that he’s feeling a bit restless as he awaits the arrival of the much-anticipated Switch 2 Direct.

When he finds some free time, Jim plans to continue playing It Takes Two with his partner, as they are nearing the conclusion of their cooperative adventure. This game, focused on teamwork and fun puzzles, has already captured their attention, and finishing it feels like the right way to cap off their weekend.
