Quality Mode
Welcome to Quality Mode; a show where Jonathan (gaming journalist in the making) desperately tries to keep his two friends, Adam and Mittens, focused as they dive into the gaming equivalent of a book club.
A game is selected and all three play up to a certain point before meeting to discuss how they're finding the game.
Jonathan will nerd out about the philosophical implications of the narrative, Adam will dive into the legacy that it left and Mittens will mention something about classical history before making a rude joke. Truly highbrow stuff.
