Episode 38: Johnathan Korn Is My Father

Punctuality, nicknames, buying beer, parking lot favors, panhandling strategy, falling off the wagon, carbs, ghee, legalizing weed, MMOs, the metafilter gopher server (Jesse’s memory was right!) and the brand-new XOXO Outpost creative space. Our increasingly inevitable video game chat rounds out the episode as expected, touching on Rise of the Tomb Raider, Quake 1, America’s Army, Firewatch, Beyond: Two Souls, XCOM, and discussing a bit about shooting mechanics, pacing, playtime gates, achievements, and how a game designer doles out new gameplay tweaks over the course of a campaign.
