Left Trigger Right Trigger

Listeners, it's time to indulge your deepest fantasies - as long as those fantasies involve a broad ranging discussion of Fantasy in videogames. Colin manages to avoid turning this whole episode into a discussion about Skyrim. Greg is ousted as a Cribbage hustler. Dave explores his masochistic side. Giovanni pitches an app (game??) that will finally let the Switch replace mobile phones.

We've started a new streaming series over on twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger - join us every Thursday at 7:30 ET as we raise money for The Bail Project and play through Final Fantasy VII Remake Hard Mode! We're going to be raising money every week until we finish the game. Come join us!

If you want to catch up on past streams you can find them over on our YouTube page. We'd also really appreciate if you take a moment to give us a rate and review on Apple Podcasts. You can also give us a follow on Twitter (@LTRTCast) or on the Left Trigger Right Trigger Facebook Page.

Games discussed include Dark Souls, World of Warcraft, That Dragon Cancer, and Secret World Legends (fka The Secret World)

Listeners: this is a weird time to be making podcasts. Every year around Father's Day we sit down and record what is consistently our goofiest, most absurd episode of the year. This particular episode is no different, but this year is definitely different.

Because of that, we hope you'll take a moment to give some time and money to some of the causes we've linked below. Thank you for taking the time to listen, read, reflect, and fight for a better world. Black lives matter.

• Black Lives Matter Global Network
• Tandem fund to support black trans groups (info on each group available through that link)
• GoFundMe supporting the family of Tony McDade
• GoFundMe to support homeless black trans women

Finally, we're doing a charity fundraising stream of Final Fantasy VII Remake every Thursday at 7:30 pm ET over on twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger. All money raised goes to support The Bail Project. We'll be doing this stream every week for most of the summer, so come on by.

Thank you,

- Dave, Colin, G, and Greg

Dungeons - turns out they're actually towers? Get ready for a semantically vigorous episode complete with multiple dog pools. Greg gets lost. Colin berates Greg for not knowing about the game Hover! Dave is actually not the person who pulls out a dictionary. Giovanni challenges you all to prove him wrong.

Aliens: do they walk among us? Do they have ill intent? Have they been using SimCity to learn how to conquer us? This episode takes some big swings from discussing the cultural context of aliens to full blown conspiracy theories. Colin talks about 1950s pulp alien tropes. Dave examines aliens as a form of plot escalation. Greg starts a new VPN. Giovanni asks, what if the aliens are here to help?

Listeners - we say this with all sincerity. Times are hard right now and we are all in this together. We're bringing you this episode on Isolation in the hopes that it brings you some amount of levity and humor in the face of something that, we feel, none of us know how to address or even fully comprehend. We know this little gaming podcast can't do much but we're going to do all that we can. Please stay safe and know that you are not alone.

February 28th is the official three-year anniversary of Left Trigger Right Trigger and what better way to celebrate it than with a special "Trilogy" episode!

Greg wonders how many different ways there are to steal cars. Dave thinks the third game in a series is the ideal on boarding spot for new players. Colin reveals the secret trilogy we've all been playing for years.
