Welcome back, you beautiful degenerates. This week (okay, month… look, don’t judge), Gamer Chronicles returns with a full-blown gaming breakdown so wild it makes Cyberpunk 2077’s launch look graceful.

We’ve got:

  • 🧨 Gearbox selling Borderlands loot and bullshit
  • 🎒 Kojima returning with an emotional FedEx simulator sequel
  • 💔 Mindseye collapsing harder than my work history this year
  • 🧢 Nintendo gaslighting us all with fake Metroid Prime 4 ads
  • 🛠️ Nexus Mods getting bought by shadowy figures like it’s the plot of a dystopian RPG

And THEN we deep dive into Cash Cleaner Simulator — the most unexpectedly relaxing crime-core sim you’ll play this year. Picture this: you’re in a dingy basement, laundering money with UV lights, literal washing machines, and a mop full of regrets. There’s blood. There are dye packs. There’s a piggy bank hanging from the ceiling like capitalism’s final boss.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll clean blood off $20 notes while questioning your life choices.

🎤 Quote of the Episode:

“Cash Cleaner Simulator is the only game that made me yell ‘motherf***er!’ at a pile of soggy twenties — and yet, I’m still playing it.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
