Episode description
2018: The Year of Miitomo Waluigi! Your hosts kick off this discussion of "Simplicity" by pitching a Waluigi conspiracy theory that spins into a fully developed cinematic universe. Stick around to hear the show get back on the rails and get a pretty solid discussion on simplicity in games. Dave admits to earning every achievement in Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Giovanni explores the subtle mystery of Pitfall. Greg gives everyone some Minesweeper speedrunning strats. Colin forgets to breathe for like three minutes.
