The Experience Points Podcast

We're closing out the summer with a few fun diversions ahead of the incoming GTA-inspired fall tsunami.  A clever run based and rabbit based game has caught my eye, while Jorge is grappling with his mortal shell(s).  Finally, I got some new hardware and apparently have strong opinions on wireless communication standards.

Lower the blast doors and grab a weapon, this week on the podcast we tackle the games that breach pop culture containment. From Fortnite to Mortal Kombat, we explore why some games crack into a wider zeitgeist above and beyond what most games can achieve. Show notes: - Music by Brad Sucks

It's time to take trip!  We'll start by heading to the fae realm to match tiles and ponder post-modern semiotics.  Next, we take a walk; a big walk full of puzzles.  And our final destination? An exclusive island full of lush vegetation, amazing views, and a host of extremely dangerous prehistoric creatures.

This week on the EXP Podcast we travel from cozy post-apocalyptic life-sims full of bizarre grass creatures, to firey hot opera performances, and even to the far reaches of space. It's a Nintendo Retro sandwich this week with Pokémon Pokopia, Star Fox, and Parasite Eve!

This week we try to chase away the dreadful news by talking about a handful of delightful games.  We all need some whimsical artistry, upbeat musical wackiness, and fourth-wall breaking pixel punk sensibility in our lives right about now.
