    Game of the Year 2025
    Jan 2 2026
    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.

    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.

    Episode 10: Under-Rated Games
    Dec 3 2025

    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.
