Discuss story of the game: 00:15:58
- Perfect Dark is set in 2023 against the backdrop of an interstellar war between two races: the Maians, who resemble the archetypal grey alien, and the Skedar, reptile-like extraterrestrials who use a holographic disguise to appear as Scandinavian humans. On Earth there is an ongoing rivalry between The Carrington Institute, a research and development center founded by Daniel Carrington that secretly operates an espionage group in league with the Maians; and dataDyne, a defence contractor corporation headed by Cassandra De Vries that secretly maintains a deal with the Skedar.
You play as Joanna Dark, a Carrington Institute agent who has earned the code name Perfect Dark by being the only agent to score perfect during the training. From here you follow a series of missions that include rescuing a floating laptop AI, a Maian alien named Elvis, rescuing your boss Daniel Carrington and being a bad enough dudette to save the President.

Zelda and Fire Emblem DLC, Star Craft master code, Dark Tower trailer and Video game HOF entries round out our news segment. We find out that P2 stays up to date on more than just whats in the CC app and then we tackle the topic of the week. From Warcraft to Hearthstone, Diablo to Overwatch no one can deny that Blizzard makes incredibly fun and addictive games. We try to figure out why and make it a whole hour without swearing and then P2 shocks the world.
