  • Chapter 1: Identity and representation feat. EvaUnaLove
    Why does it even matter who we play? For this episode I was joined by the wonderful EvaUnaLove, who you can find at twitch.tv/evaunalove , to discuss and talk about our experiences on that topic.
    Intro Sequence until 6:00, if you wish to skip it.
    Starting with a little smalltalk we will go over a lot of different topics including games like: Pokemon, League of Legends, Overwatch, Tomb Raider, and more.
    Which characters did inspire us, and which failed to?
    When did we feel invited into the world of a game?
    What would we wish for the future?
    And at the very end: What can we learn from all of that?
    The intro was heavily inspired by Skyrim, made and published by Bethesda.
    Soundeffects by "Sword Coast Soundscapes", YouTube.
    Special thanks to:
    Lowrain and NalloVint for helping with the script,
    My friends Evy, Munk, as well as Lowrain and Nallo, for their awesome support everywhere,
    OpteeMystic, who did the Art for the podcast AND twitchchannel.
