Left Trigger Right Trigger

Join us every other week as we convene the 'video game book club.' Each episode is structured around a topic: anything from 'Trust' to 'Robots' to 'Body Parts'. Listen in as your hosts each bring a game to the table that they think exemplifies that topic in some way. Give us a shot and remember, games are just metaphors.

Listeners, breathe deep and repeat after us: "The topic is fruit." We recommend repeating this sentence often over the course of this episode. Welcome to "Fruit," at topic that comes to us from Stephanie Charas - @StepUpTheGame on Twitter! Dave discloses his allergy reports. Greg is happy to no longer be debating interesting things or having nice conversations. Giovanni explores the uneasy space between power and punishment. Colin has thoughts about eggs.
