BAAAAKES ,

The googles concern me!

Great pod!

Mavqwe ,

Excellent tl;drs

I’m a games prof but on the technical games research side of things instead of game studies side. As such I am both very busy but want to stay abreast of cool game studies books. Game design study buddies is a fun, chill way to keep an eye on that side of the games research field. Highly recommended!

I never went to university

I assume this podcast isn’t comparable but it’s pretty good
