Saving G4’s best show for last. The Preamble Back in 2002 when G4 launched, MMORPGs were still something of a new sub-genre.

Note: Emmett’s audio this episode is a bit rough, though still audible. We’ll tweak settings for next time but bear with us for this episode! You ready for this, playa? Welcome back to the club! In this episode, Allan Muir returns to join Emmett Watkins Jr. in discussing the games that will get us through the current political moment. Look, Trump won, and we have a lot of work to do to survive and take care of each other as he returns to power. Playing games won’t directly change anything, but the art we embrace does help us view the world differently. Here are a few games that engage with the moment we're in, or even allow us to disengage from it for a while. And hey, maybe you’ll even get a few novel recommendations as well! Also, in the Whatcha Playin segment, Al talks about their time with Dragon Age Veilgaurd while Emmett talks about his time with El Paso Elsewhere and Coffee Rush. • Timestamps: • Start 00:00 • TotS: Games That'll Get You Through the Political Moment 29:03 • Fallout Series (not Brotherhood of Steel or Shelter) 30:46 • Metaphor Refantazio/1000XResist 53:36 • Dragon Age Series 1:01:45 • Red Dead Redemption II 1:15:26 • Simulator Games 1:20:51 • Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess 1:30:26 • Novels to Read 1:40:09 • Whatcha Playin? 1:47:52 • Dragon Age Veilgaurd 1:48:28 • El Paso Elsewhere 2:04:06 • Coffee Rush 2:12:04 • Housekeeping 2:19:06 • • Housekeeping: • Potato Sack Racing Simulator 2024 | VGU Test Drive (https://youtu.be/EBEO0SdeE5g) • Vidjagame Apocalypse : The Top 6 Top 5s - Vidjagame Apocalypse 600 (https://vidjagameapocalypse.libsyn.com/the-top-6-top-5s-vidjagame-apocalypse-600) • VGU.tv's Starter Pack (https://go.bsky.app/T3YZfcF) Check out YouTube Channel here!
