Remember way back in Episode 33, when we talked about two-player games but excluded fighting and war games because there were too many? Now is when we finally talk about the fighty ones! Join us as:
- Brian's tongue stops working.
- We talk about chess - good chess channels on YouTube, weird chess games on forums, and absolutely bonkers chess games on the computer.
- We look back at an early first-person shooter - in book form.
- We haggle about the intricacies of the Avalon Hill game complexity scale.
- And we generally correct each other, talk smack, and otherwise have fun.
