From Super Smash Bros.showdowns and team-building through buddy texts, to breaking gamer stereotypes and dreaming of state championships, the duo shares how this digital extracurricular is leveling up fast. They talk about the games they love, the ones they’d like to add, and what it's like going from casual players to competitive athletes—jerseys and all. Plus, you'll hear about their most intense matches, future goals, and why being funny is essential to friendship. Whether you're a gamer, a skeptic, or just E-sports curious, this is one power-up of a conversation.

GGtv Loves to Read: Dungeon Crawlers, Vampires & Glass Castles

In this episode of GGTV Reads, hosts Olivia Seaborn and Lindsey Rabatin are joined by Mr. Shull for a passionate and wildly entertaining round of book talks. Mr. Shull kicks things off with the chaotic, meme-worthy madness of Dungeon Crawler Carl—a sci-fi/fantasy romp involving alien death games, sarcastic cats, and pink Crocs. Olivia dives fang-first into Anne Rice’s gothic classic Interview with the Vampire, unpacking its grief-stricken heart, problematic immortals, and misunderstood characters. Finally, Lindsey brings it home with the raw, reflective memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, exploring trauma, resilience, and growing up in instability. Tune in for big feels, bookish hot takes, and a healthy dose of dark humor.
