In this contemplative sidebar episode we take some time to talk about some of the games we've been playing. We also tackle the contentious subject of game prices. What matters when looking at game costs? Are short games less valuable? We may not have an answer, but we definitely have a lot of thoughts on the matter.

Our recent game log:

Dennis - Sifu, Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Phil - Baldur's Gate 3

Matt - Nightmare on Elm Street & Friday the 13th film franchise (no games)

In this whimsically eerie episode we drift into the subconscious of a troubled young man in the 2019 puzzle-platform adventure game, Darq.

In this abyssal episode we escape to the North Sea in Still Wakes the Deep, the latest game from developer The Chinese Room.

In this frenzied episode we shift into Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, a throwback to classic 3D platformers with its own unique spin on the genre.

We also take a look at each other's Steam wishlists to see what games we've wished for that have been long forgotten.

In this cryptic episode we descend into Animal Well, a puzzle-platformer metroidvania game that kept us mystified.

We also wax nostalgic for games that we wish we could erase from our minds just so we could experience playing for the first time again.

In this wistful episode we surf classic web pages and bust content violators in a simulation of 1990s internet in the game Hypnospace Outlaw. We also have our first guest, Mark, joining us in this episode. As an aging gamer himself he's got plenty of appreciation for byte sized games.

In this vengeful episode we connect the dots with bullets in the unique puzzle shooter, Children of the Sun.

In this spicy episode we catch up with some of the games we've been playing lately. We also attempt to wrap our heads around recent controversy in the video game industry, sometimes referred to as Gamergate 2.0.

In this wacky but delicious episode, we frantically dash our way to the top of Pizza Tower, a charmingly zany game from indie developer Tour de Pizza.
