• Gamers After Life episode 9! "In this, we talk about what we've been playing lately, such as Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and it's delightful cartography that calls back to Myth, Fallout/The Elder Scrolls + cornucopia of mods that the internet hosts, Metacritic strife, Rage and how it didn't make me rage at all, and Syndicate and how it didn't make Paul rage at all either."
