Getting Gamers

The video game industry has been expanding tremendously in the last 10 - 20 years (40 even!). But some of us haven’t caught on yet. Are you looking to understand the gamers in your life? Is someone confused by your gaming? Listen as Juke (a noob) tries to navigate the complexities of the gaming world with the help of some real-deal Gamers. They will invite guests to have casual conversations about different topics to help us better understand this virtual universe within our own. @GettingGamers (Twitter and Facebook) @Juke_ish (Instagram, Twitch, Twitter) www.gettinggamers.com

Couch co-op experience is sadly something that gamers don’t get much anymore with all the online games that we now have. But there are still a few good recent games that still offer it like Unravel 2. So why don’t you have a seat and listen to our experience of this game together. It might also be the game that will nudge your significant other to try gaming!

At first, we thought this episode would be a rant against people who do not respect the passion of gaming. But it turned out to be a cry from the hearth to all of you that are unjustifiably affected by those people. Listen to our personal insights about how it could be possible for you and your close ones to overcome this issue.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
