Thanks for always keeping up with us week to week! Clearly I did not stick the landing on having a thread for the final episode of the year 😅 Appreciate the kind words and you'll hear from us when we know what's next for PCG and podcasting.

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log, this week Mollie and I called in Morgan Park to talk about which developers we want to hear from in 2025. It's not lost on us that this episode went up right before The Game Awards on the same day so we were prepared for some of our predictions to be...

Hey PC gamers welcome back to the chat log! This week Mollie and I had a surprisingly rousing debate about minigames with Chris. Turns out that Chris hates hacking minigames and I hate fishing minigames and all of us are really bad at some minigames. We covered some of the basics like poker and...

Hey PC gamers welcome back to the chat log! This week we talked with two of our long-time World of Warcraft players about the 20th anniversary of WoW. In between all our other nostalgia about favorite expansions, being converted by friends, and years of updates we also got to chatting about when...

Holy **** this is the one I was trying to describe during the episode! Thanks for unlocking that memory.

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log! This week Mollie and I called up Kara Phillips to talk about browser games. Between the three of us we cover a few different eras of browser gaming from the early 2000s and on into the past four years. Browser games have changed a lot in that time...

I have many a time on the podcast complained about the original Witcher game haha. It's so clunky and awful and I'm not sure I would encourage anyone to muscle through it and yet I'm glad I did. I worry they'll get rid of its weird but neat combat system in the remaster and just use The Witcher...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log. This week (last week) Mollie and I decided to make our PC gaming bucket lists. The only rule was that we couldn't just say "play everything in my backlog" because that's never going to happen anyhow. Instead we chatted about games we want to finish...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log. This week Mollie and I invited on Lincoln and Robin to talk through the process of choosing PC Gamer's Top 100 PC games this year. Give it a gander if you didn't read it earlier this week! As we talk through a bit in the podcast, our team has entered...

I think the intent of patient gaming is not just the waiting to play but also the waiting to purchase, so crowdfunding is probably like the antithesis of being patient haha. I mean you do have to be patient, in a totally different way, but not in the patient gaming way of waiting to get involved...

Hey PC gamers, on this week's (last week's, sorry my bad) Chat Log, Mollie and I talked with Chris about patient gaming. Turns out Chris accidentally waited 8 years to play Stardew Valley and he's been having a grand time with it. That led us to wonder: are any of us true patient gamers? Among...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log. This week Mollie and I dragged Jacob Ridley back onto the podcast to talk about the real cost of PC gaming. After that PS5 price gave everyone sticker shock there was lots of discussion around whether you should just get a gaming PC instead. Obviously...

Do a podcast week about an underappreciated subgenre, Lauren said. It'll be a great idea, she said! I'm personally a big advocate for these and highly recommend them! It's definitely worth starting with the first game (the free one) in my opinion. The second and third games have some tricky...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log! This week Mollie and I called on the PC Gaming Show editorial director Jake Tucker to talk about asymmetrical co-op games. It's such a bland name for a subgenre but I don't know of any better one. I'm open to suggestions though. Anyhow, we're talking...

Hey PC gamers and welcome back to the chat log! This week Mollie and I called up Wes Fenlon to talk about the Concord effect. So we've all seen the news recently about how Concord just sort of failed to leave the launch pad. It barely lasted more than a week with poor player numbers and then it...
