Press to Unpause: Getting Back into Gaming

About this episode

The episode discusses taking breaks from gaming and how to get back into it.

You find yourself putting down the controller, stepping back from the keyboard and mouse and just... stopping. Well, this episode is about those gaming breaks and how you find your way back in.
