Join Caitlin and Alan—two mediocre gamers—as we play video games. Why do games hit different from movies, books, or anything else? We’re not pros, we’re not streamers, and we die a lot. But we’ve got big questions, weird takes, and a love for the hobby. Welcome to Inferior Gaming! Where being bad at games is half the fun.

  1. Panic Attack

    8H AGO

    Panic Attack

    Caitlin and Alan talk about existential freak-outs… and Mass Effect 1. Do you make characters who look like you? Do we have a responsibility to use Art to look into our unconscious? Or are video games an escape that takes the pressure off of real life?

    Music!

    Caitlin and Alan drop ten of their favorite video game songs. We listen to a lot of game music to relax. We explain what it is about these songs that speaks to us. Caitlin is into chill slow songs. Alan goes for upbeat and electronic music.

    Backlog

    Caitlin and Alan flip through the unplayed games they own. We are making an effort to play though some of The Backlog by the end of this year. Alan’s Backlog is all about emotions. Caitlin has some titles she needs to finish- or just restart. We both have some Gamer Shame on our shelves… but we intend to play them some day?

  4. Game of the Year

    Game of the Year

    Caitlin and Alan played games in 2025, but did they come out that same year? We get right to the point and drop the #1 game first, and then start talking about the games no one else is. We’ve got action games, visual novels, cozy delivery sims, and fighting games! There was lots of fun to be had in 2025.

    Ep 12: Celebration

    Caitlin and Alan throw a party. What makes a great party in a video game? From Spooky Festivals to costume balls video games sometimes give us the chance to play among the monsters. But some games let us make a huge impact on the environment or even change the history of the world. Who knew a party could make such a difference?

    Ep 11: Relationships

    Caitlin and Alan talk about the relationships between video game characters. Friendships, romances, and betrayals. Who are the characters that made us laugh and cry? Then there are the characters who stole our hearts- or broke them. Grab a war-buddy and tune in.

    Ep 10: Under-Rated Games

    Caitlin and Alan shine a light on some overlooked Role Playing Games. Caitlin makes a pick from earlier this year, but she gives a deep dive on the whole franchise. Alan goes retro with a PlayStation One title. Are western games more libertarian? Does anyone remember that Avowed came out this year? Also, Caitlin thinks Alan is talking about a totally different game for awhile.

    Ep 9: Settings

    Caitlin and Alan talk about our favorite settings. From the features of a game to our favorite virtual places. Mostly our favorite (favourite??) places. So much of what we love about games starts with where they take place.
