Listen in as your hosts each bring a game to the table that they think exemplifies that topic in some way. Give us a shot and remember, games are just metaphors.

Holes. We've all got them, some more than others. As we dive down the rabbit hole of Hole, remember to take care of and look out for your holes along this journey. Are you oiling them regularly? Can they open and shut with ease? Do they still deploy torpedoes at a regular rate when people inside you prepare them? Are your holes rated to handle the pressure of the deep ocean so the people inside of you stay safe?

In this episode: Giovanni gets stuck, Tom throws dice, David is literal, Greg pulls out the imaginary dictionary

If you'd like to help us maintain the hole that is this podcast, consider joining our Patreon for as little as $1. Or leave us a rating or review on your podcatcher of choice.

Games discussed: Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters, Donut County, Pitfall

Left Trigger Right Trigger - Boss

Thanks to everyone who came and supported us during the 24-hour stream benefitting NAMI Seattle!

Bosses. Babies. A perfect match. In this episode we talk about video games, Boss Baby, and also the Boss Baby interactive game. With DreamWorks Animation's cultural touchstone taking the world by storm, it makes sense this would take up so much real estate during the Boss episode. And if you got a problem with that then I've got a pink slip for you.

In this episode: Tess runs the world. David fights the big ones. Giovanni leads the way. Greg gets overrun by the rush.

If you'd like to give us a raise, consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as a $1. If you'd like to give us a peer review, why not give a rating or review?

The cauldron bubbles, the runes are set, and your wand now hums with power. Your familiar looks on in anticipation, waiting to see what your spell brings forth. It's time to begin. You summon your will and chant the incantation. Purple and green sparks sizzle and pop in the middle of the summoning circle where a shadow has suddenly appeared. The veil begins to drop and reveal what has been brought forth. Your familiar flees at the sudden presence, you cover your face in shock at what you have summoned: the hosts of Left Trigger Right Trigger. Jeez, podcast platforms have gotten intricate.

In this episode: Giovanni compares and contrasts. Tess writes in. Greg gets hit by lightning. David ponders the dodgeball.

A strong aroma lures you towards the kitchen. What possibly could be generating such an enticing smell? Also, who is cooking this delicious smelling meal? Four people stand in the kitchen, all standing over a large pot of stew, but the ingredients they're adding are video games. Cartridges, discs, and hard drives bubble away in the pot as the hosts of this podcast pass the stirring spoon back and forth. We hope you're hungry.

In this episode: Tom lights the burner, David starts to simmer, Greg kicks it up a notch, Tess finishes with a favorite.
