Episode 59: Plot Dots

Published: Oct. 8, 2016, 4 p.m.

With Hurricane Matthew bringing us a little bit of wind and rain, we huddle inside to talk about video games. But first, we talk about the new HBO show Westworld and the blurring line between reality and simulation that the show portends, as well as violence in simulations and games. And then there are even more shows and films to discuss, from Steve Jobs to Luke Cage to X-Men: Apocalypse. We also talk about the waning memory of Hanson’s “MMMBop” and Dan’s new Ward theme. Games include Super Mario 3D World, Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, Rocket League, BioShock Remastered, Sportsfriends, Tricky Towers, and Overwatch. Got a question for the show?
