It’s our last episode of 2023! For this festive Christmas Eve release, the EE boys gather around their warm microphones and chat about a number of fun topics. Todd starts a chat about regrettable game purchases with a few amusing anecdotes. Joe wants to know which games have captured us in its clutches of addiction, citing games like Dead Cells as his personal vice. To round out the show, Ed wants to know how geek culture is tied into our listeners’ holidays, and what gaming traditions we’ve started. We hope everyone has a great holiday, a fantastic New Year, and we’ll see everyone in 2024!
