The best stoner-girl series ever, everBroad Cityhas completed its first season. But, but, but! To fill the urban-metropolis-size hole in your heart, might we direct your attention to a web series from the Ilana Glazer half of the Broad City duo?

It’s called Chronic Gamer Girl, and it’s about playing video games. Mostly, though, it’s just lots of chats and snacks. It’s great even if you don’t know a single thing about digital games of any sort (this comes straight from the horse’s mouth).

Some highlights:

This terrifying run through Lawnmower Man is also a Broad City reunion with Abbi Jacobson!

“Can we get confetti in post?” There is a lot of clapping in Mario Kart 64.

Discussing the circle of life with some members of the beloved supporting cast in the episode “Snacks Come Alive.”

Here’s Super Mario Bros. 3, with guest Naomi Ekperigin.

Season two moves to childhood games — like Hopscotch.

Do you also miss Broad City from the bottom of that wonderful heart of yours? Us too.
