I just listened to this episode today. It was my first time listening to The Retro Adventurers and I have to say I was immediately hooked. I dip in and out of IF for months at a time and now I’m pretty enthused to pick it back up again and finish playing a bunch of games and perhaps even get around to finishing my PunyInform story :D Looking forward to picking through past episodes!
