In Episode 25, friend of the show, author Nicolas Obregon, returns to talk about the video game, The Last of Us. For Nic, this is the game that turned video game storytelling on its head and showed us that games can do character and story not only as good as (and arguably better than) movies and television, but also as good as books.

In Episode 24, Bryce and Caleb talk about the video game, Return of the Obra Dinn. The guys talk about what a unique modern gaming experience this game is and how it deftly pulls from the old to make something new. They make conjecture on the process of making a game like this, and how creater Lucas Pope does it all on his own.
