Linda's sister Cynthia joins us today and can attest to how competitive her sister is, while our expert, Patrick Scott Patterson, who's made a career out of video games will be forced to evaluate her entire collection, and then see if he can come up with a video game she doesn't already have so that they can possibly make a trade.
