On this episode, Quarex and Ben give our unvarnished—but still pretty positive—opinion about our time at Origins 2026.

Whether we're yammering about our travel and lodging, the badges and event tickets, the Your Origins 2026 app, the apparent volunteer staffing shortage, the ticketed events we did, the layout of the exhibit hall, the new games we tried out, or the people we got to play with... we're letting you know what we think.

Stick around for the end of the episode, where Ben and Quarex discuss the heart and spirit of Origins, and what 2027 is already looking like it's shaping up to be.

We also used Origins to release our new sistercast: All Year I Dream About Game Reviews, coming to a podcatcher near you!
