May 23, 2018 In Search of the Storey: Choose Your Own Adventure
This week on In Search of the Story, Chris is replaced by Chris (Hepburn), and Olivia continues to sit in the captain chair as the two discuss games with multiple endings and the idea of choice in entertainment. This is a new adventure unto itself. Gravelle found that he was a bit overloaded and probably in your ears too much, so will only be a guest host on occasion for In Search of the Story.
New dynamics! New stories! New chemistry!
But WAIT! There's More!

May 09, 2018 In Search of the Story: Do Characters or Games Evolve?
In Search of the Story sees the return of Olivia and Chris to discuss the evolution and growth of characters in gaming. This is different than the evolution of a game. We aren't looking at how a game changes, but how the characters change themselves. With that said, grab a cold drink, sit on your rocking chair and listen as we talk Kratos and Lara.
