Erogamer and Watching Mode / Gamers and Half their Life Game (エロゲーマーと観戦モード/ゲーマーズと半生ゲーム, Erogēmā to Kansen Mōdo / Gēmāzu to Hansei Gēmu) is the eighth episode of the Gamers! anime series, first broadcast on August 31, 2017.
Short Summary[]
- Chiaki's younger sister Konoha, who secretly enjoys erotic games, overhears Keita and Eiichi at the game shop, taking comfort in Keita recommending an old game she also has a fondness for. Later, the Gamers play a Love Love Game of Half-Life board game together, becoming even more awkward as a result of the oddly specific spaces they land on. Just as Tasuku and Aguri manage to clear up some of the misunderstandings between each other, Chiaki finally discovers that Keita was her online friend and the one supporting her freeware games this entire time.

Major Events[]
- Aguri and Tasuku clear up some misunderstandings of their relationship.
- Chiaki finally discovers Keita is her online game friend and her game supporter.
- Chiaki's sister, Konoha Hoshinomori, is introduced.
- It appears that Konoha has developed feelings for Keita due particularly for his passion of games.
Trivia[]
- The other members of the student council at Konoha’s school closely resemble the female members of the Hekiyō Academy Student Council featured in Seitokai no Ichizon, a reference to the fact that Konoha’s student council in the light novels is a later incarnation of the council featured in said series.
- The game that Eiichi initially picked closely resembles Clannad, a famous visual novel and anime series by Key.
- "Love Love Game of Half-Life", the board game that Keita and the gang played, is based on a famous board game, "The Game of Life".
- Coincidentally, the board game's name pays homage to the Half-Life series.
- On the Japanese dub of the episode, Chiaki mentioned "Nyoro~n" while spacing out at the final scene. This word is actually the catchphrase of Churuya-san, the super-deformed version of Tsuruya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series (she often mentioned this once she felt defeated or disappointed), which became a famous meme.
