Did you get that opportunity to own a console with just 2 controller ports? If you did then you probably remember having to pass the controller to someone. It could have been a friend, it could have been a cousin, it could have been a sibling, or really anyone. Okay, it was likely one of the first three, but for this episode, I am passing the controller to my buddy Andrew, aka Grey Bush Gaming. Check out the episode to hear us talk about how games brought us together and how Andrew loves Breath of the Wild (not really).

It is hard to talk about this episode without giving too much away, but basically I talked to Sharell, an old college friend of mine, about games as an art form. Just listen and you will enjoy.
