    Ep 236 - Gamer Dad Mindset

    As we age and come to grips with our shifting priorities the things we get from our games also change- for Steve, he cries at Dad-stuff and is even more irritated by ideological blabbermouths. For Stephan, a dumb video game character saying "i love you" makes you cry and you can only QA test games now. These minds also discuss the latest Canadian gaming news, events and wishlist some sick-looking neon bright light games (and Goeland- what a good name).
