Disliking and Liking Games, NBA The Run, and Answering Perspective Questions

Janet and Isaiah talk about going from really disliking a game to eventually liking it, is it something that’s happened to them, and how likely is someone to go through this. They also talk about their time playing NBA The Run as part of the (semi) open playstest, if they liked what they played, how does it compare to NBA Street, and if they’re planning on playing more once it’s finally out (GAMES). Then they go through with a segment that they’ve been sitting on for a minute and talk about perspective questions, see where they agree (or disagree), and ultimately learn a bit more about each other in the most silly of ways (NOT GAMES).
