- Arts
Two working actors, Dylan and Chris, take deep dives into the games they love, with a dramatic twist. Join us every week for just shy of an hour of conversation on theater, games, and life in a creative career, with some goofing for good measure.

Baldur's Gate is Everywhere
We're here to do our legally obligated Baldur's Gate 3 episode, but don't worry about spoilers. We're much more interested in why this game has exploded in the way that it has, and what its surge in popularity (and other games' like it) can tell us about how we engage with games as a community.

Together Among the Stars: An Actual Play Post-Mortem
This week, we work a little differently and talk through an episode we recorded for a different show! We recorded a Patreon-exclusive episode for the Unexplored Places in which we played Together Among the Stars by Takuma Okada, and we had such a good time that we needed to break down what made this game so special.
Check out the Unexplored Places at unexploredcast.llibsyn.com, and take a look at Takuma Okada's work at noroadhome.itch.io

Things Left Behind
This week, we're more on our artsy bull than ever! We set out to talk about additions to remakes and re-releases of games that leave something to be desired, before RAPIDLY shifting into a discussion of the value of limitation, the interesting choices that come out of necessity, and how it feels to leave those things behind when they're no longer necessary.

Dead Genres Tell No Tales
This week, we dive into an even-more-naval-gazey-than-usual discussion of bygone genres of games. Or, perhaps, ways games ask us to engage with them less often these days. Or maybe... it gets a little rambly, but we promise it's a good time!
