Things have turned a corner this month as we discuss the bountiful harvest of games we have been playing since the last episode. The new Steam group is here. Taylor's stream is here. Also #gamergate can go fuck themselves.
It has been a slow summer here at Girlfriend Mode, but we trundle on to talk about the few things we have been playing and try to hold out for the bounty of new games coming in the fall.
This month we get hyped about E3, go back and forth on the merits of MMOs, and seriously question how we survived the 90s.
