Limited Lexicon
Join Tom, Nick, KJ, Patrick and Johnny B as they play through Text Based Adventure Games such as 1982's The Hobbit, 1980's Zork, and many more to come!
KJ reads the text from the game and co-hosts feed commands to make our way these daring adventures (even those with low cunning). If you're new to the genre or an old hat, come listen (and watch!) us struggle with our new found limited lexicon.
