Ever fallen head over heels for a game you initially didn’t care for? That’s exactly what happened to Nova with Hollow Knight! Join us in this episode as Holly and Nova exchange playful banter and dissect their gaming journeys. From Nova’s obsession with charming bug characters to her late yet passionate dive into Genshin Impact, we explore their unique gaming preferences. You’ll also hear about Nova’s bug phobia in hyper-realistic games like Grounded—quite the contrast!
Ready for some heart-pounding VR experiences? We recount our exhilarating encounters with Subnautica and FNAF VR, and the hilarity of a parent too scared to walk a virtual plank. You’ll also discover the surprisingly emotional side of VR, from a grandparent revisiting their childhood home in Google Earth VR to the vibrant, creative community within VR Chat that transcends physical boundaries. Whether it's epic virtual escape rooms or social gatherings, the flexibility of VR offers a whole new dimension of gaming.
No episode would be complete without a nostalgic trip down memory lane! We reminisce about classic consoles like the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii, share fond memories of family gaming sessions with Wii Sports, and laugh about the frustrating quirks of scratched discs. We also touch on the bittersweet challenges of emulating old Pokémon games and the emotional journeys in beloved titles like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Final Fantasy XIV. Join us for a heartfelt reflection on how these gaming experiences have shaped us, and why they still hold a special place in our hearts.
