  • Came for the games, stayed for the not games

    Janet and Isaiah are so relatable! Not only are they super knowledgeable about games (from press, dev, and enthusiast perspectives), they also talk life and all the highs and lows of your late 20s / early 30s. I see so many elements of my own relationship in their conversations. A fantastic and unique show in the space.
