Elliot brings Bastion, a rogue-like rpg, to the table - if you like Hades or just some good stories, you'll want to hear all about it. Today we talk about the unique story-telling devices video games have, racism narratives in video games, and wax poetics about the Supergiant music department. Yes, this is all connected.
