I don't know what kind of malevolent spirits we annoyed, but this episode really tried to not be made. Between Skype problems and other issues, it's a bit of a frankencast, but it's all there and it's audible AND the content's pretty great. Laura's Sportsball Time is my favorite.The premise is simple: we have too many games in our Steam profiles that go unplayed. To remedy this, we've decided to play 2 random games from our profiles then come together to discuss them.  With a show every fortnight, that's 4 games a person per month that we’re going to experience and report back on. Should be good times.This episode we cover: Runers, The Magic Circle, Out of the Park Baseball 14, Half-Life 2, Knee Deep, and SpaceChem.Next time we’ll talk about: Gravity Ghost, Hand of Fate, Card Hunter, Pillars of Eternity, Evoland, and Pinball FX 2.The hosts of Year of Steam:Lorin Grieve, @xavierfoxshandiIain Hopwood, @VahnBlackburnLaura Kate, @LauraKBuzzLaura also has a million other podcasts where you can listen to the sweet sound of her voice.
