We apologize for the poor quality of Mark's half of the audio this week. We offer two possible explanations. One is that Walker, motivated as he is by spite and malice, engaged in an elaborate act of sabotage so as to undermine Mark in public. The other is that Mark (the editor, mind you) messed up the audio settings. I agree that the latter is too improbable, too conspiratorial, to take seriously--but we include it for the sake of comprehensiveness.

Becky returns for another deep dive discussion all about games which stand the test of time and keep us coming back for more, and why that's the case.
FIRST PLAYER: Becky OTHER PLAYERS: Kerley, JP & Ian
OVERVIEW This week's episode is all about games which stand the test of time. Whether they already have, or in our opinion, are still going to be going strong in 10 years. We talk about some of our favourites that fit this category and, more importantly, why that's the case. In this episode you'll learn:
- How you can't build industry without sausages in a game of Anno 1800. - Kerley's excitement of retelling the epic moments of nuking Davey in Civilization 2010 edition. - That Ian still hasn't played much, and really should sort this out if he wants to continue the podcast. - What makes games call us back for more. - What are some of our favourite games that stand the test of time and why - Why do some of us crowdfund and some of us don't, in the question of the week
