Episode 148 - It's terrible, I could not recommend it more
This one's got everything you love: Dunkalatte talk, Willa's neighbors doing construction in the middle of a recording, Robin playing a game where you are a little mouse, but the main event is – of course – Willa going on an extended rant about a game she hates that most people love.

It’s the week after Halloween and we’re finally talking about horror games. After an extended bullshit session to start, we work our way around to mousegirl soulslikes, talking to ghosts with your crush, trick or treating, finding yourself on Bajor, and being the nosiest bitches at the seance.

Episode 144 - The Soon To Be Mrs. Robin (Your Name Here)
Bad news, there is barely any beverage talk in this one. Good news, Robin is open to her hand in marriage being bought. Oh, we also spend a lot of time talking about the importance in having conviction in critical thinking and why Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is great

Everything that was bad last week is even worse this week. Itch has followed Steam in delisting a ton of games for either including offensive sexual content or just gay people. Who can even tell the difference? We follow that exasperating conversation with what we’ve been playing this week, mostly consisting of games about a whole bunch of toxic lesbians.

There has not been a lot of news for us to discourse about lately, so we are doing what every good content creator does for engagement: make a bad list.

We’re coming to you live from the heat dome this week, so assume anything wrong with this episode is due to our brains poaching in our skulls. In the meantime, we’ve been playing fishing games and porn games and old games and racing games and all kinds of other games and we’re here to talk about them in no particular order.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
