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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey PC gamers, I'm here with a little weekend forum post since I missed posting a couple weeks of episodes. A couple weeks ago Mollie and I rounded up some hidden gem picks from PC gaming so far this year. We dug through our own PC Gamer reviews to find some lesser known things our team rated...

Hey PC Gamers welcome back to the chat log! Apologies for skipping the forum post the last couple weeks. (I'll make it up with a thread about the hidden gems this weekend, at least, because I'd like to hear all of yours.) In this week's intro I'll hint at where I've been for at least one of...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log! This week we brought on first time guest Kara Phillips to talk about our in-game fashion choices. We all know that looking great in new gear is the real endgame to even some of the most hardcore RPGs from Dark Souls to Diablo. Nobody want to get...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to another week in the chat log! This week Mollie and I wanted to take stock of the state of gacha games on PC, not least because she can't seem to stop playing one. So we called in Tyler Colp, who also spends lots of time in the grind. Though we know gacha games...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log. This week Mollie and I pulled Robin Valentine on to talk about the top 10 wishlisted games on steam right now and what it say about PC gaming as a whole. Steam isn't the only storefront of course, but what players have on their wishlist on Steam tells...

Hey PC gamers, welcome back to the chat log! This week it's just Mollie and me talking about life sims. Specifically life sims like The Sims, which basically don't exist. But some are in development and they're coming out. Soon! Hopefully! I've been keeping track of it all over here in this...

Hey PC Gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log! This week Mollie and I dragged Wes Fenlon out of The Lands Between to talk about playing the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring and also lots of other game expansions. He recently pooled some minds on the team to remind us that "expansions...

Hey there PC gamers, welcome back to the Chat Log! This week Mollie and I kicked back and did a little digging through our Steam libraries. We realized that there are actually lot more ways to sort our backlog these days than we'd remembered. You can sort your games by obvious things like time...

Hey again PC gamers, I hope you're all feeling rested after the showcase weeks earlier this month because it's finally time to talk about everything we saw. This week Mollie and I called in Harvey Randall to talk about our own favorites from all the shows we watched. Mollie got another Fable...

Hey PC gamers, hope we all survived the big showcase weekend! We are once again not talking about it yet—but we did actually just record ourselves talking about it so you'll get to hear that next week—so hang tight on that. For this week Mollie and I called upon Robin Valentine to talk about...

Hey there PC Gamers, are we feeling ready for the impending weekend of gaming showcases and trailers? Well hang tight because we aren't talking about that quite yet (you can listen to our predictions we made last week though). This week we're talking about weird brand tie-ins in videogames...

Welcome back PC gamers to another week in the chat log in which we're all looking at our summer game showcase schedule and trying to sleuth out which games are getting revealed at all the various video events. This year there is of course the Summer Game Fest, our own PC Gaming Show, the...

Hey there PC gamers, sorry for being a little late to the forums this week! On this episode, Mollie and I brought back our fellow multiplayer enjoyer Morgan Park to talk about "live service" games. What even counts as a live service game though? Are MMOs always considered "live service"? Is it...
