This week Anna & Paul are talking about cozy games to play during the holidays! They also touch on the odd lack of snow in adventure games while mentioning all the ones they could think of with some. Because snow >= holidays. So roast some acorns on the fire and curl up on the whatever and Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul sampled some of the exciting new old games that just recently released: King's Quest - It Takes Two To Tangle, Space Quest V - Talkie Edition, and King's Quest VI - AGI Demake. They sampled all of them, and then talk about weird Canadian sandwiches. And possibly the games too, I don't know, you tell me. Mangia!

This week Anna and Paul are ranking some adventure games that weren't made by Sierra or LucasArts. If Paul got his way this episode is called I Have No Willy And I Must Beamish, but I'm guessing it's prolly something clunky and annoyingly descriptive. Anyway this was fun, Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are ranking Sierra Point And Clicks, AGAIN! This time they do it even more betterly. That's not true, it's still pretty cavalier if not lawless, but this time it's the titles released in 1993-1996. Ish. What game comes out on top? Totally forgot. For sure a Sierra one though. Mangia!
