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.

First off, thank you all so much for tuning in to our 24-Hour Charity Stream. You raised over $3,000.00 (!!!) for the Transgender Resource Center of Long Island. Thank you so much for joining us and helping this great cause. We couldn't have done it without you!

February 28th is the official three-year anniversary of Left Trigger Right Trigger and what better way to celebrate it than with a special "Trilogy" episode! If you make it through the first 10 minutes of 311 talk we do eventually discuss games. Giovanni discusses IP burnout once the third game rolls around. Greg wonders how many different ways there are to steal cars. Dave thinks the third game in a series is the ideal on boarding spot for new players. Colin reveals the secret trilogy we've all been playing for years.
