131: Episodic Gaming

Episodic gaming has really taken off in the last few years, despite a troubling start. We share what we enjoy about this format, but also what sometimes isn't so great about it, and which games we're still waiting to be finished. Is episodic content here to stay? Vinnk and Sean examine the perils and the promise of this approach to gaming, and try to figure out what even counts as episodic versus a sequel. And, for the first time in a long time, we share both a Future Retro and Pile of Shame! In the same episode! Mostly. (There might be another one on the website...)
