Do We Know More than Advice Columnists About Games? with Amanda McLoughlin

If you’re a member of the Games and Feelings Patreon, you’ve heard of the Replay, where we replay and reply to questions about games submitted from the long tradition of advice columnists. And I think we (in this case, Amanda McLoughlin and Eric) know more about games than Ask Abby. So we’re doing The Replay on the main feed because we love doing this so much!

About Us

Games and Feelings is an advice podcast about being human and loving all types of games: video games, tabletop games, party games, laser tag, escape rooms, game streams, and anything else that we play for fun. Join Question Keeper Eric Silver and a revolving cast of guests as they answer your questions at the intersection of fun and humanity, since, you know, you gotta play games with other people. Whether you need a game recommendation, need to sort out a dispute at the table, or decide whether an activity is good for a date, we’re your instruction manual. New episodes drop every other Friday.
