Half-Life 2

Welcome to The Long &amp; Short of It, a gaming podcast hosted by Laurence &amp; Dan. 
In the first season of the podcast, we focus on the Top 100 video games from The MetaCritic Top 100 - this took place between February 2020 &amp; July 2023.

Season 2 took us to discussing our personal list of 15 games each, that we feel would be at home in the Top 100.
This took place between August 2023 &amp; October 2024.

Now in 2025, Season 3 brings us to the OpenCritic Top 100 - we hope you enjoy the ride!
