Episode 15 - Disco Elysium, The Thaumaturge, and Francisco González
Special guest Francisco González stops by and tells us a wild story about his new role playing hobby. Matt thinks Indika is weird and incredible. We talk for over an hour about how great Disco Elysium is, and then like 15 minutes about The Thaumaturge.

Episode 14 - Q&A: Pollen Count Edition
Roses falls in love with Disco Elysium and Matt goes frickin' ham discussing Marvel Midnight Suns. We take a ton of audience questions and discuss a variety of topics. Text Adventures, games that we hated after we loved but thought we'd hate, "That doesn't work!", genre distinctions in games, "The Power of Cheese", and an EXHAUSTIVE dissection of Detective Games.

The charming and insightful Cressup joins Matt and PushingUpRoses to talk about the ethics and complexities of streaming narrative games. We talk about the finger puzzle in Monkey Island 2 a lot, a weird Greek FMV game, the creeping date range of "retro games" and just have a blast.

Episode 12 - Return to Monkey Island
The album of the year is finally out, and let us be the first to tell you that T.S. did NOT disappoint with her newest release, 3D MARIO. Best Nintendo-themed, 3-D album yet.
We did not play Harold Halibut yet, but Matt did play an Adventure/RPG set in 1905 Poland and Roses played with her cat. We talk about Return to Monkey Island so much that we get kind of emotional?
We also forgot to mention that we are part of the Adventure Game Hotspot Network, which you can find here: https://adventuregamehotspot.com/
