Episode 157: Navigating Spaces: Being Together In and Through Games (Right click and save as to download, or find us on iTunes, BlogTalk Radio, Stitcher, Google Play, or TuneIn).
This week we chat about always online games that don’t offer a single player experience. We talk about the positives and negatives (and the in-betweens) of this newly (?) popular experience. We also talk about Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and how representation matters. Finally we talk about Mike Meginnis’ short story “Navigators” and task you all with reading/listening to it and tweeting at us about it (@nymgamer).
