  • It's entertaining and sometimes insightful. But simply because of how the "video game journalism" industry works, one's gotta seek out context for anything these people say.

  • The Ugly Step Sister Broke Me

    Watched the film The Ugly Step Sister based solely on Lucy’s recommendation and dear god, the worm.

    Otherwise solid gaming podcast, highly recommended.
