S3 E47 - Back In My Day

2024/07/28

Come sail the seven seas this week as gaming piracy is up for discussion, with all its swashbuckling and spicy takes. Is there a moral imperative to bend the rules from time to time? Or is it simply misguided righteousness in this topsy-turvy world of easily obtained loot and booty? Before that though, Josh and Paula work through a short list of games they’ve been playing and finishing, as is tradition. Paula continues to apply pressure on her students, design epic rodent-built towns, and play with

2024/07/07

It’s all about games, games, and more games this episode as Paula and Josh have been playing, retiring, and completing a bunch of different titles. For some reason though, there seems to have been a lot of cats involved… which has to be a good thing, right?Plus, it’s Steam sale time, so they both reveal the bargains they picked up and perhaps a few random additions along the way. The budgets are real, but there are some deep discounts that are worth taking a look at either way. Just don’t think

S3 E43 - I Had Issues

2024/06/30

This week Josh has been spending most of his time scavenging parts from derelict ships, laughing at renaissance absurdity, and sticking his nose into a new criminal case. While Paula returned to the conflict of world domination, continued to catch them all, solved puzzles with bricks, and went rogue at the start of an epic adventure. If that wasn’t enough, the pair dive into a discussion about different video game business models and whether that subscription is really worth it, or if that DLC

S3 E41 - I Could Be Playing Anything Else Right Now

2024/06/09

Sometimes a game can be so compelling that you can’t help but fire up the passion and go ham on everything you have to say. So it is with Paula’s current otome obsession, bringing an exclusive rant in today’s episode. There’s no discussion topic, there’s no time! Not when there are things that need to be said and stories that need to be told. Meanwhile Josh has completed a few titles this week, retired a few more, and been playing some other stuff that’s nowhere near as compelling. That and it’s

2024/06/02

This week Josh and Paula are making connections, building relationships, and hopefully growing into better human beings all round.

Never fret though, as the weird and wonderful keeps on going as they discuss what the term “indie” might mean in 2024. How has it changed since its original use, and is that even a good thing? These

Nothing beaten, nothing retired, this week has been all about progress. Paula continues to work her way through the layers and kitchens of hell, while Josh figures out strange languages, explores an underwater city, fights vampires, and rolls race cars.Then the discussion turns to those pieces of plastic that promise a new world of gaming and an extension to the immersive promise of interactivity.

The theme and topic this week is what makes a game worth the time and money it takes to experience whatever it has to offer. Is it as simple as a dollar-per-hour equation? Or are there other factors that come into play? Spoiler: of course there are!Meanwhile Josh has been fighting the jank of large late-game instability, while Paula gets into the groove of a new reality. Plus, could this be the redemption arc of Josh’s less than stellar guessing game record? The answer may surprise

2024/05/12

This week Paula and Josh are having some fun and have put together a little game-soundtrack-themed quiz to play. Will they be able to identify the game based on a short clip of music?

It’s been a long week of gaming and Josh has managed to finish off a few titles that he’s been working through for a while.

Have you ever reached that point in a game where you find yourself wading through pages and pages of instructional wikis, in an attempt to discover some indication of how to make some kind of progress? This week Paula and Josh are talking about so-called “wiki games” that keep their cards a little too close to their chest. Before that though, Paula has continued her conquering ways and emerged victorious over all those that oppose her. Meanwhile Josh has managed to find all the hidden things and
