Craig and Dave are back with The Bit Effect — a monthly gaming podcast where we take on newer releases with plenty of banter and a good dose of pub-style chat. We dive into mechanics, share our thoughts, and keep things mostly spoiler-free (and always flagged if not). Think of it as catching up with your pals about what’s worth playing right now. Any game suggestions or feedback? Email us at [email protected] and we will glady play what you tell us, unless it's Stellaris.

For this special listener request we dove headfirst into Persona 3 Reload and let’s be honest, few games swing from “high school hijinks” to “the weight of mortality” quite like this one. One minute you’re feeding your social links, the next you’re battling eldritch horrors at midnight while wondering if you’ve studied enough for tomorrow’s exam. O…

We are back! New logo, new website, a schedule we can stick to, and all our personal demons are set straight. Just in time for a happy go lucky romp through a frozen wasteland! This month we threw ourselves into Frostpunk, which is basically the cheeriest game about freezing to death you’ll ever play. It’s cold, it’s bleak, it makes you feel like a…
