Marina and Minnie sit down to talk about one of the most beloved games of the last 2 decades: The Sims.
They talk about player-led emergent narratives, the stories they crafted for their Sims, how differently they played the games, the chaos of co-op mode, the first time they saw the Grim Reaper, and their particular fondness of The Sims 2.
