The Best Games Period

Episode 23 - Team Fortress 2 (ft. Jack Packard) Part 2

Listen Later

This week we tackle our first multiplayer-only and first

free-to-play title, Valve's Team Fortress 2. The online FPS has
been around for almost a decade and still sees an incredibly active
community, due in no small part to the decision to make it
free-to-play in 2011. Joining us in our discussion this week is
Jack Packard, former Funny or Die funnyman, Red Letter Media
staple, and co-host of the YouTube channel Previously
Recorded. 

Part 2 centers almost entirely on Team Fortress 2. The

aesthetic, comedy, emergent narratives, and even the cross
marketing. Have you ever wondered if a conga line can ruin a video
game? Jack Packard's argument certainly might make you think
differently about the seemingly innocuous party dance.
