Bad End

Holy crap ok so we're back and there's a lot to talk about. This episode we straight-up talk for two hours: about games (ofc), the disintegration of "indie," games media, online content, zone-out games, videogames as shareable works, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't even think of off the top of my head.

In BAD END 5, we team up with illustrious videogame and film writer Zach Budgor (@hastapura)to discuss some of today's biggest questions in gaming. Could PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS hail a new age of auteurism in videogames? Is The Last of Us Overhyped? Could Kyle's taste in burgers possibly be as bad as his Tweets from the BAD END account? (Follow us btw, @badendpodcast) 2:00 - PUBG (Playerunkn...

Yes, it's true. While he was out last week, our very own Kyle met the legendary MGS luminary Hideo Kojima.
