In this episode, I’m trying something a little different.

Since I don’t have listener submissions just yet, I went through some Reddit stories about gamers and non-gamers in relationships and picked a couple to talk about.

I share my thoughts on the situations, what might be going wrong, and the kind of advice I’d give. If you’ve ever felt like gaming was causing tension in a relationship (on either side), this one’s for you.

What’s the difference between FPS and third-person shooters?

For the first time, I attempt defining gaming terms on my own. I break down what each one means, how they play differently, and what it feels like to experience them as a player. I also go over the different meanings of “FPS,” including frames per second, since it can get confusing.

I share my thoughts on both styles and which one I find easier to get into as a beginner.

Terms defined in this episode: FPS & Third-person shooter.

I tried Among Us as a beginner, and it was… an experience.

In this episode, I explain the basics of the game and talk through my first impressions learning it from scratch. From confusion to finally understanding what’s going on, I also share whether I think it’s actually beginner-friendly.

Couch co-op experience is sadly something that gamers don’t get much anymore with all the online games that we now have. But there are still a few good recent games that still offer it like Unravel 2. So why don’t you have a seat and listen to our experience of this game together. It might also be the game that will nudge your significant other to try gaming!
