On the penultimate episode of Pew Pew Bang season one, Kelsey Lewin, Haley Maclean, Janet Garcia, and Sarah Podzorski are finally talking about smart people games which is weird it took so long because they are so smart. They talk favorite smarty games like Lorelei and Papers Please, but also challenge the notion that anyone who cares so much about gamer cred can really be considered smart. In keeping with the theme of smartness, they also compare Brain Ages in Challenge Mode and reveal their past in Show & Tell!
