Tom F, Chris and Graham gather to drink glasses of fine dry sherry, but also to discuss some fine dry videogames. Tom travels Kentucky Route Zero and builds a Defense Grid 2, while Chris goes Civilization: Beyond Earth. Graham just drinks.

Also discussed: why Unity’s new CEO is a Hypnotoad; the Return of the Obra Dinn; the beauty of At The Gates; what music to listen to while you play games; what we’d like to procedurally generate; the oddities and odds of humans and loot systems; why Devil May Cry fans are still wrong about DmC; and what gird your loins means.
