Ep 54: Character Creation
This week's topic was suggested by Seth's girlfriend, thanks for your great idea! This week, we discuss character creation- do aesthetics matter? (hint: yep, they sure do...sometimes) Who do we want to be in games - idealized versions, accurate representations, outlandish others?
What kind of representation makes us more engaged in a game? Also discussed: Cat Needs, Black Ops Zombies, Minecraft, and the Rocky Mountains.
If you have ideas for a topic you'd like us to discuss, or thoughts on this week's topic, send us an email! overthinkinggamespodcast@gmail.com
