Hello again! We're back with the second episode of our video games podcast and this time it's all about XCOM 2. Or at least, it really should have been. After awarding Firaxis' latest a big golden badge yesterday, I assumed I'd have free reign to just talk about that for upwards of an hour, but, unfortunately, there were some other people on the podcast too.

There's 90 seconds until the extraction is complete and I'm eyeing the clock. I'm standing next to a guy I met up with a few blocks back. He was pinned down by looters. We finished them off together and exchanged jumping jack emotes, then headed off to the extraction point to secure our reward.

Here's a fun fact for you: I cannot drive.

They've got the right man, at the very least. Rally games have often attached themselves to the big personalities of the sport - be it Richard Burns lending his name to Warthog Games' outstanding 2005 simulator, or Colin McRae to Codemasters' popular and often excellent series - yet none of those stars ever enjoyed quite the success of Sébastien Loeb, the French maestro who romped to nine world titles in as many years. His is a name synonymous with success.

While most are playing The Witness without a care in the world, some are struggling to keep their lunch down. Not because of horrible bloody violence, but because of motion sickness.
