    There are many reasons why we stop playing games. Some of those reasons are a natural end to a great experience, some because they are unplayable and some are far more complicated. Nathan lays out his 7 cases of why we stop playing a game, from best case to worst case.

  • 144. I'm a Bad Uncle

    In the course of a year, we often play many games that are not new releases. In this episode, Nathan goes over 5 games he played in 2024 that released before the year that really impressed him. And quite a variety it is. We discuss a survival crafting game, a card game, secret horror title, soul-like and open-world shooter. A little something for everyone.

    On the show today:

    It's that time to play Save, Bury, Reboot. What games do we save from destruction, which will we throw into the E.T. pit and which will get a whole new coat of paint? Bonus: we have some other game related things to bury while we are here.
    Now that 2024 is behind us, we can look at our Steam spider graphs to see what kind of games we really got into this last year. What were the 6 major tags on our playlist this year and what games took up most of our time?
    Every year, people start the year off with resolutions. But, we find that too definitive. So, we are talking about goals for 2025. These are the things we are planning to do coming up this next year.
