Podcast The Pub 39: It’s Like Reading Shakespeare.

Okami

Art and Story in Games

In this episode, we talk about the way art affects story in videogames. Molly grows a tail that is also a paintbrush. Sam transforms into a Sims character and starts speaking Simmish. Sarah ferries a hedgehog to the afterlife and weeps all the way there. And Dean changes his name to Face McShooty and realizes that crumpets are, in fact, krunk.

Cast

Hosted by Dean Karpowicz, with  Sarah Willis, Sam Alberth, and Molly Krasel.
