This Week on The Casual Hour…

We saw those meme “get to know me” grids going around on social media, but their categories were lame, so Chase made custom grids for us to talk about some games that might be a bit of a surprise for each other. From the game you’ve put the most time into to your favorite rental, let’s dig into our gaming history on this edition of The Casual Hour!
