Gonarch's Lair episode 14.5: The Journey to the Fireworks Factory

In the second part of episode 14 we continue the gaming discussion with Simon, our 5th guest in the Lair, by debating free-to-play game models, backwards compatibility versus remasters, predictable tropes in AAA titles, and the dangers of the ‘hype machine’. We also discuss gaming clothing, controversial violence in games, the flaws in religious rhetoric, and Gabe Newell's perineum. Tainted love includes Ross being late to the party, Thom’s distressing ‘tuna sandwich’ story and Simon’s 'owl poo' anecdote.
