This week, we officially kick off our next Video Game Book Club title: Titanfall 2. Jerica, Kayla, and Koleman suit up for a deep dive into this critically beloved FPS — from its fast-paced movement and emotional storytelling to its unexpected ties to Apex Legends.
We also rewind to the original Titanfall to explain why we're starting with the sequel, touch on Respawn’s development choices, and unpack how this world became one of the most celebrated sci-fi shooter settings of the last decade.
Whether you're playing along for the first time or revisiting your BT memories, this episode is all about appreciating the details — from gunplay to skyboxes.

We’re JK! Games! Podcast!
We bring you the gaming news and reviews we care about — and right now we’re playing through one game at a time with our official Video Game Book Club.
We pick a game, break it down week by week, and talk about everything from mechanics to heart-wrenching narratives — all through the lens of a book club… but with video games. And don’t worry, you don’t have to read anything (until there’s a dialogue wheel).
Easy Mode or Expert, you belong in the conversation.
