Game Shame: How it Feels and What to Do About It
Manage episode 520284573 series 3680021
Come one, come all to the latest Button Boy offering. This week the Boys are opening up about a deeply personal feeling: game shame. Ever had your flatmate, partner or work colleague stumble in on you in the throes of defeating a boss and just felt plain silly? Well, don't worry, you're amongst friends here. They discuss how it hits and what to do about it.
Elsewhere, Pierre's gone back to emulate his childhood, romping around Macro World, Glenn's playing a literal smash hit and Sarah's up to no good in a wholly grocery-based environment.
And just when you thought you were done, Glenn has a real déjà-vu gripe to hit you with.
If you liked the sound of The Audience Versus mentioned by Glenn in the episode, please go to The Pleasance Theatre website and book your tickets!
If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to Patreon, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.
