Oddly Coded

Today, we're talking about games! Who could've guessed? But not just any games... Games that AREN'T games... To be more clear: game with self imposed limits, rules or goals. OR playing by rules not set in the game itself and only agreed upon.  Some examples we talk about in this podcast are: no hit/deathless/all bosses challenges, GTA roleplay, speed runs, and survive the hunt (GTA5)  It's like making up your own achievements and following though on em.
