Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is BACK, and it's time for us to talk about all things Life Is Strange! We have news to cover around Deck Nine, Don't Nod and Square Enix, so without further ado, let's unpack the topics in this podcast episode! Of course, Adnan and Adam kick things off with a conversation about the recently announced Life Is Strange: Heatwaves, a second novel from Square Enix and Titan. The StrangeCast hosts discuss author Brittney Morris' involvement on Heatwaves and what the novel could mean for the future of Alex Chen and Steph Gingrich. Don't Nod's puzzle platformer Jusant has finally climbed its way onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, so Adam is here with his first thoughts on the new title from the French developer and publisher. Moving away from Don't Nod, Adnan and Adam turn their attention to Deck Nine and share their thoughts on Chrisjen Avasarala's outing in The Expanse: A Telltale Series' Archangel bonus episode. Finally, we close things out with our main topic segment, with Life Is Strange fan-favourite character Chloe Price placed under the spotlight for this particular conversation. For some people, Chloe is the best thing since sliced bread. For others, though, she's seen as a 'bad best friend' to Max Caulfield. So, where do Adnan and Adam stand on Chloe Price? Listen to find out! StrangeCast can be accessed on the following podcast services (among many others!) below.

Writers B.J. Best, Andrew Ervin, and Brittney Morris join co-hosts V.V.

Ranging from the text-based games of early days to the AAA and blockbuster franchises like Red Dead Redemption and World of Warcraft, this episode considers the necessity of play after childhood.

Brittney Morris performed what most writers would consider an impossible feat: she wrote an entire novel in 12 days. After being inspired by the Black Panther movie, Brittney decided to write a story about a 17-year-old high schooler who developed a game played by the global black community. Brittney wanted to participate in Pitch Wars, a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions on how to make the manuscript shine for an agent showcase. She had 14 days to produce an entire manuscript. So she did. In this episode, Brittney shares how she feels the pressure to represent her race, how she overcame more than 200 rejections and what the full-time writing life means to her.
