13 - Hideo Kojima Has Never Spoken to a Woman in His Life

Look we talk about Death Stranding for four friggin hours. No exaggeration. We talk about its gameplay, its themes, our thoughts on Hideo Kojima, and if we liked the game or not. (Which is honestly not an easy question to answer.) We had a hard time titling this episode so here's everything we came up with: - Skipping the Cutscenes is Praxis - Thousands of Dead Mothers to Rebuild the Internet - More Like Death STANDING [Around While People Talk At You] - Only America Can Save the World From Ghosts - I HATE YOU DIE-HARDMAN - Die-Hardman DIDN'T DIE HARD ENOUGH - How One Bisexual's Crimes Caused the Apocalypse - Kojima Didn't Know Death Stranding Is About the Exploitation of Labor - Like Mario and Princess Beach *jack off motion* - Ziplining over the Story - Peeing On Ghosts to Make Them Explode Simulator - aMeRiCa NeEdS yOu - Thank Me By Leaving Me Alone - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

12 - Sometimes You Love A Real Piece Of Garbage

After a hiatus for the Three M's (Minecraft, Morrowind, and Minigolf) Doom and Eli took an evening to dip into Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days because it's a short game and Eli saw it on a stream. (Shoutouts to JamsVirtual https://www.twitch.tv/jamsvirtual ) What comes after is a discussion of what is honestly a pretty average game, and the kind of space a 6/10 or a 7/10 game should have in gaming. - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

10 - Stealing a Car And/Or An X-Ray Machine

This episode is a special treat because Eli and Doom discuss TWO indie games! The first is Uncanny Valley, a horror side-scroller that has a LOT of endings. It's also extremely janky. Then, they discuss 11:45 A Vivid Life, a narrative experiment game about a girl who steals an x-ray machine because she thinks her skeleton isn't hers. It's a weird and open-ended game, also with several endings! SHOW NOTES: Uncanny Valley on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/359580/Uncanny_Valley/ (also on Xbox & PS4) 11:45 A Vivid Life on itch.io - https://deconstructeam.itch.io/1145-a-vivid-life The original fake cartridge that was the inspiration for 11:45 - http://famicase.com/18/softs/149.html https://twitter.com/d_goryainov/status/993004512553021440 - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

9: Flirting with the Hot Girl by Throwing Lightning at Her

Doom and Eli make good on the promise of Indie games and this week they discuss Ikenfell, a western JRPG about a magic school. It's also an extremely queer game, leading to a lengthy discussion about their own queerness and queerness in videogames and media. SHOW NOTES: At approximately 1 hour, 1 minute, Eli is discussing the plot and mentions Petronella repeatedly when they mean Pertisia. This happens again at around 1 hour, 22 minutes. It's then pointed out and corrected by Doom at 1 hour 25 minutes. Apologies, listener. Eli was just way in their own head and got the names jumbled. - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

8: Invent a Kind of Guy to Justify Killing Half the World

We were gonna get to Kojima eventually, and in this episode Doom and Eli discuss the Sega CD version of Snatcher! It's our longest episode yet as Doom and Eli dive deep into a spoiler-filled discussion of detective work, cool cyberpunk aesthetics, and how Gillian Seed sucks and is actually a huge creep. Also there's some discussion of Metal Gear and how this game references it a LOT. - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

7: Let Me Be A Hater: The Platformers Episode

Look we here on Game Of The Queer have been dancing around the issue of Platformers for several episodes now, but a listener email spurred us on to finally discuss it. On this episode, Eli and Doom set the record straight on how they feel about platformers. Do they hate them? What happened? What really IS a platformer anyway? Also on the show: the first ever corrections segment, AND a discussion of the worst videogame Eli and Doom have ever purchased! - - Welcome to Game of the Queer, a podcast about videogames hosted by Eli [they/them] and Doom [she/her] as they deep dive into games they want to talk about for an unreasonable amount of time.

The back catalog dive continues as Doom and Eli played through the N64 classic Perfect Dark! (Thru the xbox remaster that is). Hear them discuss their background with the game, including how Doom used to play it for hours re-enacting The Matrix which leads to a lengthy tangent discussion of the Matrix movies.
