    I have such a good time listening to this podcast! I’ve been a fan of adventure games since I was a kid in the 90’s. Matt and Roses are such fun listening to talk about these games. You can tell they have a real passion and are entertaining to boot. Keep ‘em coming! :)

  • Highlight of my week

    Peak podcast, I get unreasonably excited to hear each week's "ranking every adventure game ever whether we've played them or not" segment because they've all been correct so far

  • Love the Pod!

    I didn’t know there were people out there who like the same types of games I do! This podcast was a chance find after I searched “Hobs Barrow” randomly, and I’m so glad I found it! Hosts are excellent and do just the right amount of deep dive into games. The recs are always great. Thanks for doing what you do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 64 - Toonstruck
Q: Hey, Roses, how would you describe Toonstruck in one sentence?
Toonstruck is a zany, weird, but well done. No, no, no. No, I did it like this. Zany, weird, and well done. Toonstruck is a romp, a fun romp of a point and click adventure game.
Episode 60 - R.I.P. AdventureGamers
Q: What are your thoughts about the emotional impact of Adventure Gamers closing?
I was sad. I was really sad. It felt like the end of an era. You don't realize how much you miss or how important it was to you until you don't have it anymore.
Episode 60 - R.I.P. AdventureGamers
Q: How did you first become aware of or start following the Adventure Gamers website?
I found the Adventure Gamers forum because I was either trying to get a game to run that I couldn't get to run or I was looking for a hint, or I just was bored and wanted to meet people that liked this weird thing that I liked.
Episode 50 - Q & A: Tea Edition
Q: What makes good dialogue in games?
It has to be both naturalistic and pithy, with character depth and story advancement in every line.
Episode 50 - Q & A: Tea Edition
Q: Do you have an adventure game that you remember fondly from your childhood?
Yes, but upon replaying them, you see why there were so many better games out there; nostalgia can cloud the memory.
