Amy Swartz has been enjoying Marvel Puzzle Quest for a couple of years, and looks to up her game by wading into its player community, connecting with a more dedicated in-game alliance. She wonders, though, if that might ask more attention from her than a free-to-play match-three game deserves.

With this episode, Play of the Light returns from a very long break with a new format. Starting here, Jason McIntosh intends to interview a variety of interesting people about video games that they love.

Yes, he begins this new format at home, speaking with a person to whom he is married. Look for future episodes to include voices a little farther afield.

(Trivia: Amy and Jason were originally going to talk about XCOM 2, but got sidetracked, and the sidetrack proved interesting enough to turn into this episode.)
