Description

If the forces of industry ruin art, and this goes double for the games industry, then by the inverse failures are allowed the greatest artistic license. I'm not sure how Marathon came to exist like it does - someone somewhere made a series of bewildering, bizarre decisions - and then a whole team of people went about fucking cooking. Hopefully they'll be able to get to dessert, but if not, I can't say I'm not full already.

In this episode: old macintoshes, bungo plz, extraction shooters, learning cliffs, gun feel good, freekits, the highest highs, PLAYER COUNT DISCOURSE, computer vision markers, the six AIs in your head, what if you are bad at shooters?
