Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for video games. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out! In this episode Gino, Billy, and Pete discuss the nutzo-wutzo...
Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for video games. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!
In this episode Gino, Billy, and Pete discuss the nutzo-wutzo spectacle that is Bayonetta. We begin by discussing the finer points of Bayonetta's stylish combat system and disect some of the glitches that allow you to tear the game apart. We then transition to one of the more on-brand Deep Listens discussions we've had in a while: Pete brings some notes on Judith Butler to dissect the depiction of gender in Bayonetta. We finish up by discussing the game's combat rating system and some the most fun, wild moments in a completely fun and wild game.
