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.

Aliens 0
May 19, 2020

Aliens: do they walk among us? Do they have ill intent? Have they been using SimCity to learn how to conquer us? This episode takes some big swings from discussing the cultural context of aliens to full blown conspiracy theories. Colin talks about 1950s pulp alien tropes. Dave examines aliens as a form of plot escalation. Greg starts a new VPN. Giovanni asks, what if the aliens are here to help?

Quarantine is on and we've been doing some streams over on twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger. In fact we just hit affiliate status (by accident. Oops!) so come by and check us out. We've also been posting highlight reels over on our YouTube page.

Physics 0
May 5, 2020

This episode of LTRT comes to us from listener Alex McCrady! Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Physics: it makes the world go round and makes games possible (Probably? Maybe?? None of us know science!). Giovanni discusses the difficulty of moving his legs. Dave questions control and standards. Colin reads a product review from 2000. Greg tries to tie it all together but plays The Incredible Machine instead.
