Ep. 34: The Urgency of Repentance

The grudge is very much alive as Josh and Emily continue to disagree about how to navigate the ethics of cooperative games. But if there is anything that can bring them back together it's great tunes, nostalgic testimonials, and M.C. Hammer in a viking hat.

Ep. 33: It's in the Will

Oh no! Could this be the end of Josh, Emily, Haju, and the Cookmeister? Join us as they face the most difficult challenge in the game. Will stress turn this co-op into turn-based competition? Will our protagonists resort to dirty tricks to claim life-saving power-ups? Or will somebody’s mom come in, throw the game away, and teach everyone a lesson? Get comfy on this ledge and see how it all plays out.
