New Pokémon Snap is here, and apparently there's a character in it named Todd Snap? So says Chelsea Stark, the Executive Editor at an up-and-coming video game website we like to call Polygon.com. 

This week in chat, we discuss the sublime pleasures of bad games we still love to play. Also, can math ever be fun? Also,  why won't Pokémon respect the "rule of thirds?" And WTF *is* picross, anyway?

What we're playing:

• New Pokémon Snap, featuring Todd Snap!
• Murder By Numbers, a '90s-themed visual novel + puzzle game
• Legend of Keepers, a reverse dungeon crawler where you control the monsters
• Monster Hunter Rise, because what's better than smashing a dinosaur in the face with a hammer?

Email us with what you're playing and we'll read it on the show! [email protected]
