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

  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.

  Our adventures in the world of Wizardry continue! We were so excited to all be playing the same game that we had to do a whole podcast about it. We uncover the finer points of the game's thoughtfully brutal dungeon design, and we think through the surprisingly deep narrative possibilities of old-school RPGs. Watch out for Temple Healthcare Reaganomics, because there's no such thing as free loot. Don becomes a corpse retrieval specialist. Tof creates Six Dwarf Lords in Their Halls of Stone. Nate broke his ankles so you could run. We all got bushwhacked.

• The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 28: Meta Gear Solid

  Nate, Samantha, and Luis do their best not to get lost in the hall of mirrors as they think through various types of self-referential games, covering everything from product tie-ins and Fortnite (it's bigger on the inside) to critical hits like Inscryption, The Stanley Parable, and There Is No Game.
