This week the clubhouse is filled with emotions. Lydia was frustrated that she did not recapture the magic of her first escape room game, Stephen was frustrated that finding his critical eye makes for a different movie watching experience, and Mark was frustrated by the acoustics at a football stadium.

In other news, it's time to make your GDC Plans! Mark and Dale will be there, and probably some other nice hosts, too.
