Continuing in the style of last episode, we talk about some pieces of media that feel pretentious and why they feel that way. Then we get a little meta and take a look at our own podcast.

We explore some ideas about the continuum between and mixture of narrative and gameplay in video games. We're trying a slightly new format here: we come in without knowing what we want to demonstrate, just with examples we want to highlight, and we try to find a path along the way – let us know what you think! We certainly enjoyed the more conversational style.
Spoilers for Metal Gear Solid 3, Undertale, Celeste, Life of Pi, Shutter Island, Ender’s Game, and minor spoilers for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
