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.

Caitlin and Alan shine a light on some overlooked Role Playing Games. Caitlin makes a pick from earlier this year, but she gives a deep dive on the whole franchise. Alan goes retro with a PlayStation One title. Are western games more libertarian? Does anyone remember that Avowed came out this year? Also, Caitlin thinks Alan is talking about a totally different game for awhile.

Caitlin and Alan talk about our favorite settings. From the features of a game to our favorite virtual places. Mostly our favorite (favourite??) places. So much of what we love about games starts with where they take place.

Francis, Anya, Caitlin, and Alan team up to dive into the random genre of Roguelikes. Francis gives us a definition of Rogue- Like vs Rogue-Lite. Then Anya points out that no one uses these terms correctly! We all share our first Roguelikes and dig into some favorites. We also talk about the relationship between streamers, developers, and us the audience.
