Finally, proof from outside just our hosts that Zoombinis are real. If you've been a Zoombini truther than thank you for all the work you've put in over the years....or, wait, I guess maybe not if being a truther is someone who doesn't believe they existed? Sheesh, manufacturing engagement over a fake conspiracy is harder than it seems.

The cauldron bubbles, the runes are set, and your wand now hums with power. Your familiar looks on in anticipation, waiting to see what your spell brings forth. It's time to begin. You summon your will and chant the incantation. Purple and green sparks sizzle and pop in the middle of the summoning circle where a shadow has suddenly appeared. The veil begins to drop and reveal what has been brought forth. Your familiar flees at the sudden presence, you cover your face in shock at what you have summoned: the hosts of Left Trigger Right Trigger. Jeez, podcast platforms have gotten intricate.
In this episode: Giovanni compares and contrasts. Tess writes in. Greg gets hit by lightning. David ponders the dodgeball.

Double OO August continues! We got a little distracted in the intro for some reason, but it turns out some of us have been consuming vampiric media. Which to be clear, is media that features vampires, not media that siphons something off of someone else. But maybe all media is vampiric because it pulls a lot of energy out of the people who make it and we as people who take it in are consumers. Really makes you think. ANYWAY

Otherwise, the surefire way to fix it is to shove your phone in your bed and roll around. Our troubleshooting has shown that, while taxing, this is the most consistant way to fix the problem of not being able to hear our silly podcast. If it doesn't fix the problem then you're not rolling hard enough!

Hello listeners! We thought you may enjoy a sneak peek at one of our Patreon exclusive episodes. For as little as $1 a month at patreon.com/LTRT, you can gain access to a feed of episodes that cover a wide range topics, from deep dives into specific games to talking about big news in the industry to stuff like......this episode.
Listen, this episode goes off the rails pretty quickly, even by our standards. What was supposed to be a discussion about adaptations of video games somehow ended up with us opening a tier list with all Super Smash Bros. characters and trying to learn about US foreign policy. Hopefully we'll get back to that adaptation discussion later, but for now we hope you enjoy this buckwild episode.
Tis the season to get sweaty as we talk about Summer and why it is no longer our favorite season. But just because something has fallen out of our favor doesn't mean it's all bad! We also discuss the good things like Peppa Pig and wanting to take off all our clothes because it's too hot. So whether you're listening to this episode wearing white floral or nothing at all, we hope you enjoy.
In this episode: Giovanni is feeling the vibes. David is finding the reason for the season. Greg is making another plea to a large corporation.
If you'd like to add to our white floral fund, consider supporting us on at patreon.com/LTRT. You'll be able to listen to bonus episodes and tell us about your sweatiest experiences.
Games discussed include: Wide Ocean Big Jacket, Overwatch, TimeSplitters 2
