Caitlin and Alan talk about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It’s the only game in the series Caitlin has played, and she reveals how she got into it. It has been a long time since we played the game but we have a lot of memories. We love singing songs in the ships, living Kassandra’s story, and visiting Atlantis.

Caitlin and Alan talk about the difference between beating a game and getting all the trophies. Is trophy chasing its own reward? Or is it only fun when the achievements happen naturally. We talk about the first games we remember getting trophies for and some of our favorites. And of course- the ones we hate.

Caitlin and Alan talk about their favorite influences from gaming culture. The podcasters, YouTubers, and shows that have inspired us. YouTube Lore People are the best gaming channels. We value creators who have a different perspective than we do. Gaming culture is full of smart, funny, and charismatic voices- and also inferior voices like ours!

Caitlin and Alan talk about the first time they played Final Fantasy X. Is this the Final Fantasy “for the girls?” It has the best love story in any Final Fantasy. We try to not talk about Final Fantasy X-2… too much. We talk about the game-mechanics, the music, the story, and why this game is the stealth capstone to the series up to that point.

Caitlin and Alan talk about existential freak-outs… and Mass Effect 1. Do you make characters who look like you? Do we have a responsibility to use Art to look into our unconscious? Or are video games an escape that takes the pressure off of real life?

Caitlin and Alan drop ten of their favorite video game songs. We listen to a lot of game music to relax. We explain what it is about these songs that speaks to us. Caitlin is into chill slow songs. Alan goes for upbeat and electronic music.

Caitlin and Alan flip through the unplayed games they own. We are making an effort to play though some of The Backlog by the end of this year. Alan’s Backlog is all about emotions. Caitlin has some titles she needs to finish- or just restart. We both have some Gamer Shame on our shelves… but we intend to play them some day?

Caitlin and Alan played games in 2025, but did they come out that same year? We get right to the point and drop the #1 game first, and then start talking about the games no one else is. We’ve got action games, visual novels, cozy delivery sims, and fighting games! There was lots of fun to be had in 2025.

Caitlin and Alan throw a party. What makes a great party in a video game? From Spooky Festivals to costume balls video games sometimes give us the chance to play among the monsters. But some games let us make a huge impact on the environment or even change the history of the world. Who knew a party could make such a difference?

Caitlin and Alan talk about the relationships between video game characters. Friendships, romances, and betrayals. Who are the characters that made us laugh and cry? Then there are the characters who stole our hearts- or broke them. Grab a war-buddy and tune in.
