Mark, Filip, and Chris get together to talk about all the shameless gaming they've been doing during the lockdown and focus in particular on Sleeping Dogs, the excellent open world driving game about a 2nd-generation Asian American undercover cop who goes to Hong Kong to infiltrate the Triads. In addition to discussing the game, they talk about how they related to the Asian American male protagonist and his story.
