We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out! In our first episode, Billy and Gino discuss the indie puzzle...
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 our first episode, Billy and Gino discuss the indie puzzle game Tengami and it's unique pop-up-book style. We discuss what elements of the game's visual and auditory style drew our attention and which elements of the game's design left us wanting more. This episode is short and sweet, just like Tengami!
In our second episode, Pete, Billy, and Gino discuss their changing relationships with mobile games and what those attitudes might say about the Nintendo Switch. We start by by discussing our history with mobile games and how we experienced the evolution of mobile games. then we discuss how different mobile consoles and games occupy different spaces in our lives. We finish up by discussing the Nintendo Switch and how it might finally fulfill the PSP and PS Vita's promises of console-quality mobile games, except with games people will actually want to play on the go.
