Welcome to Quality Mode; a show where Jonathan (gaming journalist in the making) desperately tries to keep his two friends, Adam and Mittens, focused as they dive into the gaming equivalent of a book club. A game is selected and all three play up to a certain point before meeting to discuss how they're finding the game.

Truly highbrow stuff. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...
