What makes a game great? And perhaps just as important, what makes it frustrating or annoying? The inclusion or absence of a mechanic can make or break a game. Alex, David, and Devon share their takes on what games could really use more of, and which mechanics should we have left in the nineties or zeroes years ago. 

Before that, we discuss a jampacked news schedule ranging from the Barbie Movie depleting the world's stock of Pink Roscoe paint to Sony's new and confusing Project Q. Alex shares his brilliant strategic insights on Marvel Snap as Devon lays out a very specific case when it comes to hating a particular game mechanic. All the while, we all get into a discussion on the semantics of dodging. Come join us!
