This week we're talking about the most influential games of the last 30+ years and reflecting on the impact they had on the generations that followed.

This week, we're talking about the games we've been playing and the games we're most looking forward to. There's a lot going on and, quite frankly, too many games.

This week, our friend Cacodemon fills in for Shanee while we talk about the games we feel are the most important games of this generation. There are some thoughtful insights, lovely anecdotes, and a Red Bull is spilled.

Shanee wants to tell us about her childhood friend and closest confidant. It's an interesting exercise in self-reflection that perhaps, we can all learn from. Also, we talk about video games.

Evo is all done and Tom has some thoughts to share. There were big winners and some surprising results. We also discuss updates to existing fighting games and some exciting announcements that came out of this year's tournament.

This week we're talking about what compels us to buy the games we purchase. Be it conversations with friends, podcasts we listen to, or simply who's making the game.

This week, we're talking about sharing video games with people we care about and bonding through them. Ryan makes an NPR joke that doesn't go over so well. Shanee learns the real rules of Uno.

This week it's all about representation and seeing ourselves in the game we play.

This week we're discussing oft-used terms that are heard in conversations about video games. From "shmup" to "skill floor", we're talking about how we converse about video games and why these phrases are used.

Tom wants to talk to us about the potential merits of marketing certain fighting games as excessively difficult a la Dark Souls("Prepare To Die"). What would this mean for potential fighting game newcomers and possibly jaded veterans?
