113: All Our Parties Have Gotten Pooped On

We discuss the big stinking elephant in the room, then catch up on some gaming news.

Us as the results rolled in. Us now.

This is still a show about games, but we had to talk about the election.

Because this isn't like any other election, and this president-elect isn't like any other president-elect. We are afraid and traumatized, not so much for ourselves, but for so many others. This show has always been partly about our lives, and this was a cataclysmic event for us both.

We do get around to games eventually, we promise. Both of us played a few new things, though games haven't been as comforting. We also talked about some good reactions to the election result in the games community, as well as some not-so-good reactions, plus a Blizzard CEO that seems to be a wee bit misguided.

Please rate and review us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter (and follow Jessica and Anna too), like us on Facebook, buy our merch, and email us if you have a colony on Mars we can join.
