115: The Herring Theory

Some games got us riled this week, plus our extremely plausible and highly scientific herring theory

Why do herring make you smarter? Something something school.

What's one weird trick for games to infuriate us? Bad monetization. Jessica even almost really liked a new game this week—almost.

It was much the same with Anna who, along with Jessica, struggled with a home decorating game. Struggled to play it that is, because the monetization is so brutal.

We also wondered about Microsoft Solitaire coming to mobile and who on earth would pay for it, got a sneak peak at Asher Vollmer’s next game, learned who the best navigators are, and chuckled at an unlikely political incursion into a mobile soccer game we’ve never played.

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 subscribe to the herring theory :)
