Ultimate Audio Bang podcast: weird and wonderful FPS vocab

Attackers approaching banana

From an Apex Legends cinematic: Ash crouches over a dead Legend and uses her passive ability to find out where their killers are.

This time, I've returned from a trip to Devon having spent too much time ignoring my friends and playing Hollow Knight instead. But what about FPSes? Well, I didn't play any of those.

And to top things off, Imogen hits us with some player names she's encountered in her Valorant travels, and this time they're a bit more chill than usual. This doesn't mean they're any less thought-provoking, though.
