Interested in video games and other geeky things and the culture of outrage surrounding it? In this podcast, video game columnist Jake Magee and guests dive deep on controversies consuming the nerd sphere.
I go into detail about GamesBeat's Jeffrey Grubb's false DMCA claim against a tweet of mine, game journalists' immature reactions to the Society of Professional Journalists' Kunkel Awards, wrongthink about God of War, and other delightful nonsense.
In this jam-packed episode, I discuss the Bully Hunters disaster, the PAX East teabagging incident, critiques that God of War is misogynistic and promotes toxic masculinity, and so much more.
Super Seducer creator and notorious dating coach Richard La Ruina joins the show to talk about controversies surrounding his game and its upcoming sequel. I also discuss Far Cry 5 reviews, players getting Xbox bans for screenshotting a lewd game, and outcry against a League of Legends champion's low neckline.
A video game developer shares his thoughts on the hivemind that is the video game industry. I also discuss Kingdom Come: Deliverance being a tool to teach history, Eurogamer's diversity issues, Super Seducer getting a sequel, drama about Luigi's penis, and the upcoming salt mine that is Far Cry 5.
Super Seducer actress Shanna Vincent joins the debut episode of Phox Vox to discuss the controversy surrounding the game, which has been labeled sexist and a way for men to learn to be creeps. I also talk about video games being blamed for violence, Ivy's costume in SoulCalibur VI, and claims of racism against Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
