The most exciting games of 2024

And a clicker game that will take over your life

Listen to this week’s episode

We're back after a brief holiday hiatus to discuss the biggest, Bestiest video game releases of the coming year. Spoiler alert: It gets real JRPG-heavy, real quick.

But wait: what if you need a game to play right now? The Gnorp Apologue is the latest idle clicker to obliterate our sense of time! And it’s currently live on Steam.
