We tackle the age old question "is this game worth my precious time?" every fortnight by playing a game and discuss the good, the bad, and the grind. We tackle new video games, replay old classics, and even look into board games from time to time. If you have a suggestion for a game you'd like us to play, find us on facebook @NoTimeToGrindPodcast
