Did we think the Fallout TV show season one was rad?
On this week's Chat Log, Mollie and Lauren talk with Fallout-enjoyer Chris Livingston about the first season of Amazon's Fallout TV show. Was it rad? Did it succeed at adapting the vaults of the wasteland and selling us on new characters?

What are the white whale games we may never play?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie talk with Tyler Colp about the games they should really get kicked out of their favorite genres for not playing yet. Which classic RPGs are the biggest holes in our back catalog and which lengthy story campaigns are just never getting completed? Shame aside though, maybe there are some games that aren't actually the must-plays people say.

Which PC games do you remember from your childhood?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie talk about the PC games they remember from their childhood.

How's everyone's experience with Dragon's Dogma 2 so far?
On this week's Chat Log, Mollie and Lauren talk with Fraser Brown about Dragon's Dogma 2 and all of our time with it so far. Fraser's already clocked over 100 hours adventuring with his pawn, Gorbo while Mollie and Lauren are just getting started. It's been a comedy of errors in weird quest designs, goofy pawns, and wacky combat, but we're all enjoying ourselves despite the critiques so far.

How do PC game launchers stack up in 2024?
On this week's Chat Log, Mollie and Lauren talk with Robin Valentine who recently undertook the arduous task of ranking lots of common game launchers. The result? Steam is still unbeatable, but why is that? Other broad launchers like the Epic Store and GOG have made improvements over the years and publisher launchers like the EA app have gotten overhauls too. Where are they still falling short in the year 2024?

How do we really feel about the yellow paint on climbable ledges trick?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie talk with Tyler Wilde about the traditional topic of debate for this decade: yellow paint on climbable ledges in games. Players say they're sick of it; developers say it's necessary for showing players the way. What do we say? Well, we're not above having our own little debate about it, that's for sure.
Customer Reviews
Wow welcome back
Nice to see PcGamer back in the podcast game! First episode was great!
Whining
Maybe it’s just the first episode I listened to but these girls voices are so whiny I almost can’t listen to it.
Down to Earth
A lot of gaming media is so well manicured and sterile so that it’s almost a commercial.
The thesis of this pod so far is “here’s us, how we engage with the hobby, what we like, what we’re lacking or excited for.”
That’s pretty unique. Just talking about games the way you would talk to a friend who has been into like woodworking or gardening lately.
