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.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported us during the 24-hour stream benefitting NAMI Seattle!

Bosses. Babies. A perfect match. In this episode we talk about video games, Boss Baby, and also the Boss Baby interactive game. With DreamWorks Animation's cultural touchstone taking the world by storm, it makes sense this would take up so much real estate during the Boss episode. And if you got a problem with that then I've got a pink slip for you.

In this episode: Tess runs the world. David fights the big ones. Giovanni leads the way. Greg gets overrun by the rush.

If you'd like to give us a raise, consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as a $1. If you'd like to give us a peer review, why not give a rating or review?

Games discussed: Tropico 5, Hollow Knight, Humanity, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

Left Trigger Right Trigger is turning 7 years old which means it's time to stay awake for 24 hours! We'll be streaming 24 of our favorite games from 2023 from Saturday, February 17th at 10am until Sunday, February 18th at 10am over at twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger.

This year we'll be raising money for NAMI Seattle, an organization in the Seattle, Washington area working specifically to fill the gaps in their local mental health system through peer-led education, refererals, and support. NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Illness, itself is the largest grassroots mental health organization in the United States. Their mission is to address the unmet mental health needs within their communities through support, referral, education, and outreach to help people impacted by mental illness know they are not alone and are empowered to live a fulfilling life.

So join us over at twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger from Saturday, February 17th at 10am until Sunday, February 18th at 10am and make sure we're still awake/alive. We hope to see you there!

I feel like the obvious thing is to bring up the song by The Beatles, but I think the better angle to discuss a cover of a different Beatles song. That's right, it's time to talk about Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help from My Friends"! Uh...yea I don't know, it's late.

In this episode: Tess leads the charge. David goes online. Greg does a bad promo.

If you'd like to help us out, come check out the charity stream on February 17th! If you want to get in early on the action, you can join our Patreon where this months donations will go to NAMI Seattle! Finally, the free way to help us is to rate or review us on your favored podcatcher.
