The Gamers with Glasses Show - Episode 3

In this episode, Christian Haines, Roger Whitson, Nate Schmidt, and Ed Chang discuss the games we’re playing, why we abandon or fall of games, and our non-game recommendations (including books, television, and comics). Games we discuss include Animal Crossing, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the games of Might and Delight (Meadow, Shelter, Tiny Echo), Before I Forget, Iris and the Giant, Haven, and Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. In our discussion of abandoning/falling off of games, we discuss the shame and anxiety that can come from leaving a game unfinished, the difficulty of sustaining multiplayer games, why we’re okay with just playing games for a little while, and much more. Our non-game recommendations include fiction by Larissa Lai and Tamsyn Muir, as well as the film Border and the television show Halt and Catch Fire.
