Great fixer upper opportunities
There was a small recording blip at the start of this week’spodcast, but apart from the opening banter we’ve got a great episode this week. We open an estate agent to appraise the houses in games that would actually be good to live in. It turns out there aren’t that many. Not a lot of them would be convenient.
There’s an excellent Cavern Of Lies this week, in which Nate hosts a game-themed episode of Through The Keyhole in character as Lloyd Grossman/a robot version of Matt Berry. We also have some great diversions and some opening chat about the time my friend was a real life suspect in a murder for a few days. Plus: Matthew had an unpleasant experience watching House Of Gucci.
