Save Scum: Every Video Game Can Save Your Life

What if the video game you are playing right now could save your life? In each episode, I view a single video game through a practical lens. Days Gone insists that not all zombies are adults. In the zombie-filled future, we've got to watch out for kids, too. Thank you, Days Gone. Pac-Man reminds us that all we need are pills, boundaries, and a time limit. Thanks Pac-Man. Video games are important, and I aim to twist their worlds and manipulate their messages until I can prove just how important they are.

    Can Days Gone Save Your Life?

    This is Save Scum, a podcast that sets out to prove that every video game can save your life. In each episode, I view a single video game through a practical, survivalist lens because video games are important, and I aim to twist their worlds and manipulate their actual intent until I can prove to you just how important they are. It doesn’t matter if the video game isn’t trying to save your life. I’m going to make it save your life. So get ready for plenty of convoluted logical contortions, massive leaps in reason, and aggressively questionable justifications as I reach for some way, any way, to claim that Days Gone can save your life.
