February 14, 2018Dads | Game Older
In a very special episode of Game Older, Jonathon explores the
primordial history of his computing and gaming life by talking with
his dad, who was there to witness it all. Along the way they divert
into such tangents as the horrors of VHS tracking, TI-99 machine code,
and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
This episode features prominent clips from the album "Home," a
self-produced record from the 1970's gospel band P.O.A.

After publication, Andy Anderson followed up with this response:
While listening to this, I remembered that my first encounter with
computer games was around 1973 or 74 when I went with a friend to
EIU's computer lab (he was a student) and played a text game in which
you were given information about an enemy invader and and had to make
decisions regarding your strategy. No graphics, just text. The game
was on the mainframe. It was INTERESTING.

November 24, 2017Amnesia | Game Older
Jonathon's got things to say about Frictional Games' "Amnesia: the

really good monster closet.

February 27, 2017The Witness | Game Older
Long imagined but never before realized, I managed to get one of my
non-gamer friends to actually play a game and share their experience
with me! My father-in-law saw me playing The Witness over Christmas,
and didn't want me to leave before I set him up to play it after I was
gone. More than that, he totally bought in to engaging with it at a
satisfying philosophical level. I loved having the conversation, and I
hope you enjoy listening to it.
