Welcome to the Indie Book Club! Each episode, we'll be playing some of our favorite indie games and discussing them with various VGU staff members, guests, and even listeners like you! While Graydon and Allan bank a couple Bastion episodes so they can finally get a real series going, Graydon and Emmett decided to get together and talk about 2024’s most polarizing game - Life is Strange: Double Exposure. Is it as bad as people say it is? Is it even worth playing? Is Amanda the greatest partner for Max Caulfield? All this and MORE on this very special (overdue) spoilercast of Deck Nine’s latest… achievement? Editor’s Note: This is the first explicit episode of the Indie Book Club. While we try to make all of them family-friendly and marked accordingly, this spoilercast needed to include swears, as it helped the overall chemistry flow. Seeing as Life is Strange covers some very mature themes, we deemed it okay to keep this one explicit. Also Graydon’s audio cuts out sometimes, so apologies for that glitch. If you have game requests, questions, or would like to jump in on an episode with us, please contact us: VGUGraydon@gmail.com OR @IBCVGU on Twitter And as always, VGU Podcasts can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/3b725ykk Also, make sure to follow our VGU Gaiden podcast feed!
