Episode description

There are easy games, and games that are notoriously difficult to "get good" at. However, Moriarty raised this question to us...what is the hardest game (or genre) to become simply "okay" at? Also, how much can a trailer spoil before it's simply objectively spoiling too much?

SHOW NOTES
The cicadas outside Chris' home make a cameo at around 15 minutes in. If you hear it, that's what's up.
