#8. Dad Gaming

This week we're answering a question from Mike's sister from very early on: how has our attitude to gaming changed since becoming parents? Do we notice any difference in the kind of games we play?

This was very interesting and heartfelt. We really enjoyed talking about it, so thank you. It also raises some curious differences in approach!
