51: Balan Wonderworld

Virtual Homework

If this game was named Balan Wonderland there'd be no issues with it whatsoever. Maybe. Virtual Homework is a podcast where the hosts (Dana and Sam) alternate each week to force the other to play a game of their choosing. We then talk about the game and use that conversation to talk about other aspects of life. Hilarity Ensues!
