This is episode 69. We're discussing sex games. We're sorry. (Except Joe...Joe isn't sorry at all.) Sandi has joined us to try to provide a little bit of maturity to the topic; we'll let you decide if she succeeded.
This is an adults-only episode (and we mean it this time), but we won't be offended if you decide to give this one a miss. Just come back next month, please? I promise we won't do it again.
- We find a series of weird connections between sex games and big wargaming companies - Columbia Games, Avalon Hill, and Victory Games - not to mention well-known designers like Sid Sackson and Wolfgang Kramer, and even Nolan Bushnell from Atari.
- Mike asks, "Is there anything more sexy than puns?"
- Young Mike learns about the irrepressible dynamo that was Dr. Ruth.
- A Brief Debate Upon the Merits of Identifying Breasts by Means of Nipple Shape
- An article about Lacerunner, which is not a game about sex and is not likely to ever be released, but sounds really interesting regardless.
