    The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 35: Who Is the Donkey Kong?

    09/10/2025
    In this episode Nate and Samantha set out to recap and wrap up our summer series on games, childhood, and nostalgia, and end up…somewhere else. We cover all the deep questions, like, “Does nostalgia have to be melancholic?”; “Are console generations a marketing lie, just like other generational divides?”; “Do any of us leave childhood unscathed?”; and, “Isn’t Assassin’s Creed just Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoons?”

    The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 34: We're Not Making Chocolate Broccoli (Dr. Erik Verlage Interview)

    24/06/2025 | 1h
    We make learning fun! In this episode, Samantha and Luis interview Dr. Erik
    Verlage, a research scientist at the Ohio State University who works on
    interactive media and games in education. Discussion ranges from the use
    and value of games in education to GeoGuessr and the difference between
    toys and tools. Where’s the dividing line between a game and a simulation?
    Why were Skyrim players willing to spend hours on the same thing at the
    forge, even when it wasn’t fun?

    The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 33: A Horrible Blurry Xerox That Is Being Taken As Fact (Oops No Games Episode)

    14/05/2025
    We thought it would be fun to do an “Oops! No Games” episode, in which we
    try not to talk about games. Inevitably, we totally fail, to the degree
    that we even end up recommending games at the end. We were all going to
    bring a book and a movie to talk about, and that somehow inspires us to
    complain about AI a lot, but probably not enough, because it really is so,
    so bad.

    The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 32: The Majority of People on the Planet (Felipe Pepe Interview)

    05/02/2025
    How do game critics contribute to Western hegemony, and what can we do
    about it? Nate Schmidt interviews Felipe Pepe, creator of The CRPG Book
    Project, on his recent essay, “The Gentrification of Video Game History.”
    Drawing on Mia Consalvo and Christopher Paul’s critique of the concept of “
    real games,” their wide-ranging conversation covers mods and mobile games,
    the relationship between internet cafes and free-to-play RPGs, and the
    emptiness of the stereotypical “nerd and jock” divide between
    narrative-driven and sports games.
