Two new games to play with friends!

Plus: you can finally with the Studio Ghibli play at home

Listen to this week’s episode

It's the time of the year when families gather together to eat turkey, watch football, and play video games. With perfect timing, two new local (and online) multiplayer treats just appears on digital store shelves. We open the episode with Alien Hominid Invasion, a sequel of sorts to the beloved '00s Flash game Alien Hominid. For the B-segment, we bounce around KarmaZoo, a winning co-op game that allows for up to 10 players -- and features a special local multiplayer mode!

Plus, we open the reader mail bag and share a classic Ghibli movies and a bold Ghibli adaptation.
