What does Steam's top 100 wishlisted games say about PC gaming right now?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie talk with Robin Valentine about the top 100 wishlisted games on Steam right now. Does the big list reflect what's actually popular in PC gaming right now? Have our collective tastes changed over the years and will we ever get tired of survival crafting games?

When is the renaissance of games like The Sims actually happening?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie sit down to talk about the state of life sim games. There's still almost nothing out there that's actually like The Sims, which has reigned supreme for far too long. What new life sim options are actually coming up and when will they actually launch?

What makes a game expansion so great?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie talk with Wes Fenlon about game expansions. We just got to play one of the best of the best with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but we've actually got a lot of love for a good game expansion. What is it that makes expansions so great and what are our old all-time favorites?

How well do we know our own Steam library backlogs?
On this week's Chat Log, Mollie and Lauren devised a little library based on all the ways you can sort your Steam library. Can we identify a game based on its file size? Can we deduce which games we added to our Steam libraries first all the way back in the 2010s? Play along with our little multiple choice quiz and maybe post a little question of your own. Or just tidy up your own backlog a bit.

What games originally got us into online gaming?
In this week's Chat Log, Mollie and Lauren talk about their early experiences of childhood gaming and all the other eras of online gaming firsts. We may have gotten in during the second wave of MMOs and online chat rooms, but what about the adults who played MUDs or the kids who grew up entirely on Minecraft?

What were the best summer showcase announcements?
On this week's Chat Log, Lauren and Mollie call in Harvey Randall to talk about all the many summer gaming showcases we watched this month. Along with our own PC Gaming Show there was the Xbox Games Showcase, a State of Play, and the Summer Game Fest too. What were we most excited to see and which games were no-shows this year?
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.
