Joined by Mister Bones for the first episode, we talk about being a gamer in a relationship with a significant other who isn't into games. Inspired by a recent meme in which a woman buys her gamer boyfriend the latest Call of Duty, but has also drafted a contract with stipulations as to when and for how long he can play it. It's an issue as old as Pong, that still continues to effect relationships nearly 50 years later.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ho...
