Save Your Game

So. We had already decided we were going to spend the entire episode ranking Adventure Games – many of which, we've never played – but then, we decided to start out by talking about piss for 15 minutes. Matt and Roses bring a bizarre, chaotic energy and a true EXPERTISE on Adventure Games to this ALL-RANKING episode! Plus, we talk about some games we've been playing and some newly released games!

Hey everyone, we're not doing an episode this week, so we just thought we'd throw you a quick episode to tell you how we're not doing an episode. So, sorry there is no episode, but here's an episode about that. And, while we were here, we thought, to apologize for not having an episode, we'd answer a few listener questions. In conclusion, there is no episode. So here is your episode about how there is, in fact, not an episode this week. Episode.

Not only are there so many adventure games out there, there are so many TYPES of adventure games out there! How do you know whether you're looking at a Deduction Game vs a Horror Game?
