POPULARITY
Sometimes a game can be so compelling that you can't help but fire up the passion and go ham on everything you have to say. So it is with Paula's current otome obsession, bringing an exclusive rant in today's episode. There's no discussion topic, there's no time! Not when there are things that need to be said and stories that need to be told. Meanwhile Josh has completed a few titles this week, retired a few more, and been playing some other stuff that's nowhere near as compelling. That and it's now clear who will be crowned the winner of our guessing game after next week's edition… and it will surprise nobody!

The theme and topic this week is what makes a game worth the time and money it takes to experience whatever it has to offer. Is it as simple as a dollar-per-hour equation? Or are there other factors that come into play? Spoiler: of course there are! Meanwhile Josh has been fighting the jank of large late-game instability, while Paula gets into the groove of a new reality. Plus, could this be the redemption arc of Josh's less than stellar guessing game record? The answer may surprise you.

Have you ever reached that point in a game where you find yourself wading through pages and pages of instructional wikis, in an attempt to discover some indication of how to make some kind of progress? This week Paula and Josh are talking about so-called “wiki games” that keep their cards a little too close to their chest. Before that though, Paula has continued her conquering ways and emerged victorious over all those that oppose her. Meanwhile Josh has managed to find all the hidden things and maintain the fractured timeline of a surprisingly intriguing puzzle game. Then it's time to get the thinking brain installed once more, as he attempts to earn back some points in another round of the guessing game. We hope you enjoy this (slightly delayed) episode!

As Josh fumbles around with PC hardware and cobbles together this edit, Paula has been expanding her horizons and trying new things in the world of gaming. Meanwhile Josh actually finished a few short adventures, a pretty bad racing game, and a brand new climb to the top of a very nice mountain. Back in the real world, Paula has been enjoying a symphony of video game classics, prompting a chat about favourite game soundtracks and recommendations. Finally, can Josh scrape together a little bit of a useful memory and gain some point in our guessing game? The answer may surprise you!

This week Paula's been getting deeper in mafia business and repeatedly dying while trying to survive the apocalypse. Meanwhile Josh has been finishing off a co-op adventure and taking the time to tidy things up before falling further into the Rusty Lake universe. What really matters though, are the comfort games we hold dear to our heart, so we have a bit of a chat about some perhaps unexpected titles that always make us feel good.

What happens when you finish a meaningful gaming experience and are left with a void to fill? This week Paula and Josh discuss this phenomenon, along with their own ways of dealing with the end of a good thing. Meanwhile Josh has been getting emotional and is in love with a puppet, while Paula found herself stranded and poisonous, but still managed to protect her crown, in more ways than one.

Jazzer and Tracy are both job hunting – Tracy's after something better paid than Grey Gables. It's depressing, there's nothing out there and it would break her heart to leave, but she comments that Adil's told her she has a lot of potential and could do well elsewhere. Jazzer doesn't understand; if Adil thinks she's so good, why's he encouraging her to leave? Jazzer declares he's going to find another job. He's not letting Tracy chuck in Grey Gables. Josh wants an opinion on his Easter idea for promoting egg sales, but distracted Freddie's keen to track down the Easter Bunny and get him to Lower Loxley. He's drawing interest on social media and is clearly a crowd puller. He cracks the clue as to the Bunny's current location and heads off, taking Josh with him for assistance. However his plan goes awry and he reports later to Elizabeth that they couldn't get anywhere near the Bunny. Meanwhile Josh updates Freddie on Vince's investment in his solar panels. Freddie declares Vince is on the verge of investing in him, too, though later Vince tempers Freddie's enthusiasm. He assures Elizabeth he'll set Freddie straight if he thinks he's punching above his weight. David's insistent it's a no to Vince's investment in the solar panels. Elizabeth tries to win him round, unsuccessfully. Vince shrugs breezily, but frustrated Elizabeth can't understand David and Ruth's reticence. Vince explains the Brookfield Archers don't necessarily see him like she does. He counsels leaving it to him. He'll handle this one himself.
