This week we welcome back previous guest Jordan Erica Webber to join us in a good old natter about just how much Alien: Isolation terrified Cara (extremely) and whether it can fulfil its impressive promises. We also end up talking about The Sims a lot. Did you know procedurally generated Friends episodes are a thing in The Sims? They totally are, and they’re terrifying. Meanwhile Cara asks us what we’re looking forward to in 2014 and we answer a barrelful of questions, including ones on usefulness of Steam Machines and the appeal of Euro Truck Simulator.
