About this listen

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.
