On episode two of the "On Playing With" series I focus in on my family's long running family game night. But not before digging into some of the history that brought us to being capable of having family game nights. There is overlap in some ways between this conversation and the last episode. I also start to dig into what it's like to teach someone how to play games, which is actually a lot harder than you might think it is.

Episode 144: The Merit of "I Told You So"

It's been a long 10 years since Caleb started this website and started writing about videogames seriously. There have been victories and failures, lulls and peaks, but nevertheless, he persists.
