This podcast, hosted by Dan and Chris, is basically a place for us to talk about games and reminisce about the good old days when we actually had time to play them. You can expect discussions about gaming topics such as replayability, level design, roguelikes and are old games as fun as we remember them being. We'll also make reference to old video game titles, some well known and others less so...
