The Most Fun in 2021

The Internet's Worst Gaming Podcast takes a look back (kinda) at the year that was. Join Loki Jarson and L0rd Masta ( Thomas ) as they reflect on their favorite games of 2021, but mostly talk about games that are much older.  Thomas looks forward to upcoming Royal Court DLC for Crusader Kings III , then talks about his first adventures in the newly resurgent Sea of Thieves . Loki discusses the only strategy game he can currently tolerate, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector , and why a low barrier for entry is what's needed in modern strategy games.  Then, as Thomas plays Marvel's Avengers for the first time, Loki both defends and complains about its many issues. Is there enough fun under all the complex systems one year later? Plus:  Why everyone is wrong about Medieval literacy rates Why games should (but can't) be delayed and why you should always be nice to your royal food taster. Enjoy our last episode of 2021!
