In Episode 270, Jules Adrian and Dana take us through their week of gaming. Jules has been rolling 20 dice strongly, and Dana has been setting up secret surveillance on her unsuspecting board game friends, all the while Adrian can’t even decide if he likes a game enough to talk about it.
We also recap last week's Question of the Pod: What game have you binged?

The shift from Beckett references to low-grade puns might strike one as jarring, but it is important to note that both hosts have essentially been twelve going on sixty for most of their lives. If it's not juvenile and/or obscure, it is difficult for the hosts to process--they become disoriented and frightened. In such circumstances, a nice Star Control II reference will probably calm them down. Hey, there's one of those in this episode, too!
