But Why Tho‪?‬ But Why Tho?

This week, Alex, Adrian, and Charles get into the power of music and how it impacts the way we experiences games, movies, and beyond.

Blood of Zeus Season 2 is out now and we sat down to speak with Elias Toufexis, the voice of Seraphim. From villain to a co-lead of the series, this season puts him on a path toward atoning for his past, without seeking redemption for himself in the process. Toufexis takes us into his process as an actor and how he sees Seraphim developing in Season 2 and the future.

After nearly four years, Blood of Zeus is finally here. Animated by Powerhouse Animation from creators/showrunners Charley & Vlas Parlapanides, the second season of the adult animated series hits even harder than the first. We talk Hades, Hera, Seraphim, Heron, and of course expanding the characters beyond expectations. 

This week, Alex, Kate, and Swara get in the boxing ring yet again to bout over binge models versus weekly models for television releases.

This week, Alex and Kate are joined by Mike Towndrow of Six One Indie and The Indie Council podcast to talk about the state of indie games.

After his panel at SXSW, I spoke to the actor-turned-studio head Abubakar Salim. Surgent Studios' debut game, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, which is published under the EA Originals banner, is a story about grief. But unlike other forms of media tackling the subject, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a vibrant blend of Bantu mythology, each level taking the player through different emotions and quests to process their loss. We spoke with Abubakar Salim about creating Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, the importance of teaching young men that they can cry and feel pain, too, and ultimately, how grief can't be explained as just one emotion.
