Listen "7: Shameless Gaming"
Episode Synopsis
What's the use in feeling bad? Kenan attempts to explain the shelf of shame to non-gamers. Alba attempts to salvage the vibes by dangling some tantalizing theoretical IP adaptations. We correct the record, discuss our ongoing flame war with our northern rivals, and recap holiday gaming (we recorded this one a while ago), discussing Jamaica, Werewolf, Pyramido, Akropolis, verticality, and downtime mitigation. Then we chat about Taverns of Tiefenthal, overly thematic language, deck-gentrification, Quacks, Kanban EV, workplace backstabbery, cool games with unappealing themes, beastly games with appealing themes, the value of aspirational games, the questionable necessity of the My City Roll n' Write, why no one ever told Alba about Beacon Patrol, Blitzkrieg!, the appeal of games/girls that don't even try, and the thematic ubiquity of WWII. We find out what games are buckling your shelves of shame and savagely critique your moral failings. JK we would never. We're obsessed with you. Featuring soulful jams by Alba and the Might Lions and bedroom guitar by Kenan. Carry that Weight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
