Sam and Dana laugh, cry, love, hate, debate, stalk, act, touch, scream, play, mug, and talk about indie games.
Virtual Homework is a podcast where the hosts (Dana and Sam) alternate each week to force the other to play a game and watch a movie of their choosing. We then talk about them and use that conversation to talk about other aspects of life. Hilarity Ensues!
