S3 E38 - A Little Bit Of Game On My Mods
The theme and topic this week is what makes a game worth the time and money it takes to experience whatever it has to offer. Is it as simple as a dollar-per-hour equation? Or are there other factors that come into play? Spoiler: of course there are!
Meanwhile Josh has been fighting the jank of large late-game instability, while Paula gets into the groove of a new reality. Plus, could this be the redemption arc of Josh’s less than stellar guessing game record? The answer may surprise you.

S3 E37 - I Heard This Very Recently
This week Paula and Josh are having some fun and have put together a little game-soundtrack-themed quiz to play. Will they be able to identify the game based on a short clip of music? Or will Josh fail to remember anything at all and maintain his idiocy?!
Oh, and there’s the usual games they’ve been playing and the weekly guessing game as well… enjoy!

S3 E36 - They’ve Patched My DNA
A new week is upon us and a new episode has landed!
Find out about Paula’s return to some of the more toxic corners of gaming on the internet, along with the wholesome conclusion to an excellent little cultural masterpiece. Witness Josh’s insufferable unwillingness to figure out who developed what in the deep mud trucking game series that he’s been ploughing for the last couple of weeks.
Then get deep as the discussion turns to representations of disabilities in video games and some of the thoughts and considerations that need to be made. Not to mention a bit of a rant on a controversy that sparked the conversation in the first place.
Top it all off with a round of the guessing game where Josh manages to really show just how well his memory works… or doesn’t. Tune in to find out!

S3 E35 - Driving A Cat
It’s been a long week of gaming and Josh has managed to finish off a few titles that he’s been working through for a while. On the other hand, Paula is still chipping away at a few core games that have been getting better and better as she continues to dive into strange worlds and traffic control systems.
The topic for discussion this week is the April Game of the Month over on HLTB, including this year’s April Fool’s pick, which Paula has a lot to say about. Although, it seems that not everyone in the community is as excited for a pigeon visual novel as our resident Otome expert.
Finally, Josh gets to quiz Paula on a game in their guessing game, but will Paula finally be pipped at the post? Tune in to find out.

S3 E34 - A Good Game Will Let The Dumb-asses Have Fun
Have you ever reached that point in a game where you find yourself wading through pages and pages of instructional wikis, in an attempt to discover some indication of how to make some kind of progress? This week Paula and Josh are talking about so-called “wiki games” that keep their cards a little too close to their chest.
Before that though, Paula has continued her conquering ways and emerged victorious over all those that oppose her. Meanwhile Josh has managed to find all the hidden things and maintain the fractured timeline of a surprisingly intriguing puzzle game. Then it’s time to get the thinking brain installed once more, as he attempts to earn back some points in another round of the guessing game.
We hope you enjoy this (slightly delayed) episode!
