Listen "GRIEF (with Polygon And Triple Click's Maddy Myers)"
Episode Synopsis
Maddy Myers is grieving the loss of her real-life friend while running silly video game errands and stabbing dudes. Maddy Myers is the deputy editor at Polygon and the co-host of Triple Click and The Mutant Ages. Here's some stuff we talked about:
Our Feelings
Assassin's Creed Origins is a video game about grief.
Maddy's not trying to call out The Last of Us, but let's be honest, video games writing is bad.
Maddy Myers' on Depresh Mode
Turns out the reason I don't play video games sometimes is called anhedonia, the inability to feel pleasure. It's a common symptom of depression.
The Rehearsal is a very video gamey show in a certain way
Maddy thinks maybe Immortality might be offensive, but she doesn't know what it means.
Some games that make you feel ashamed: Spec Ops: The Line (interview with Walt Williams coming soon!), Hotline Miami, Bioshock, Papers Please
Video Game Feelings is an Area Code Audio production. Hosted and produced by Richard Clark. Associate produced by Nettie Smith. Additional help from Ashley Whitehurst and Matthew Linder.
