The Left Page & Here Be Media

Here Be Media - Episode 31 - Hitman: Silliness as a Foil for Hypercompetence


Listen Later

Hello everyone!!


For our last January episode we dive into an excellent recent trilogy of games, Hitman: World of Assassination, and think about how good these games are, as they embrace strong silliness.


Alongside advancing Frank's ideas and arguments for the silly, we look into the protagonist of Agent 47 and how his hypercompetence is both related to, and changed, by the silly aspects of the game. It's both a very fun show, and one that explores an interesting combination of the serious and the silly to the benefit of the two, and to the game itself.


Have fun!
