Sara and Mike are back, and this time, we tackle video game immersion. So, what makes games so immersive? Is it the story, ambiance, sound effects, world-building, or is it some trumped-up phrase overused by game execs? We cover what draws us into games and what - like a splinter - can ruin the experience entirely.

What makes a video game "immersive"?

Did you ever sit back and wonder "who the heck did I marry", because we're pretty sure we didn't know what to expect when we tied the knot. What we got was a house full of so much nerd, it could basically be a convention. But what happens to the nerd inside when life starts to get in the way? You make a podcast, of course!

The Still Alive Podcast is a mish-mash of video game talk mixed with a little bit of insight, life, and pop culture references. Join us as we talk about how nerd culture fits into our busy lives and examine genres, tropes, and funny observations we pick up along the way.
