This Week on The Casual Hour…
The Casual Crew is heading back to 2003 this week for a Deep Dive into Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 163. It was a time when phones were just phones and online features in games were still a novelty. We also spend time with the internet’s latest roguelike darling, Mewgenics.
