2021/07/21

For our final week before a long-deserved vacation, we sit down and play Contradiction together. What a pleasant surprise. Also, if you are a fan of the show stay tuned to the end because we slap our preshow onto the end of this bad boy (~1:57) because why not. Would you believe it?

What happens if someone rings your doorbell twice in the modern age? What happens when an esports team films their players getting the news their team is disbanding?

Iris.Fall

2021/06/23

Apparently, there is a period in the name? What is this like a hipster tech startup company? This week we play Iris.Fall. Join James, McCoy Zoë, Rafael, and Brandon for the eerie puzzle game and perhaps an even eerie-er podcast where we slowly come the realization that people don't LOVE this game as much as they wanted to. Also in this episode, if you listen carefully, you can spot a moment where McCoy, not knowing that Rafael is paged and AFK, throws to Rafael and everyone else swoops in for the

This week James, Zoë, Elena, Rafael, and McCoy all talk about their experience learning the game as well as playing in a 5 stack together.
