A very silly self-guided tour through the history of videogames, from Advance Wars to Zork. Except chronologically. So it would be the other way around.

Nate, Sebastian, Ryan, and David all gather to read their way through Next Generation magazine's "Top 100 Games of All Time," a list published in September of 1996 (just about how far we've gotten in our historical journey so far!). The boys try to keep it together through more that two hours of discussion, featuring games predictable, surprising, inscrutable, unmentionable, and baffling. Fair warning: things sometimes go off the rails.

Nate and Sebastian are joined by Lucy and Kari to discuss TOMB RAIDER, Eidos and Core Design's 1996 game of sexy grave robbing. We discuss problematic heroines designed to appeal to 17-year-old boys, the uncomfortably imperialist premise of raiding tombs in general, and why people should be nice to wolves. Kari longs for an archaeologist girls can look up to, Lucy shudders over gratuitous death animations, and Nate reveals the secret services provided by local business "BuzzZinga Vapors."
