    SIDE QUESTS 1 - FAMESICK, HALF-MAN, PRAGMATA, ZERO PARADES

    Side Quests is a pop up episode of the pod for games currently being played or culture outside of games. In this episode Ben muses on his love for the effervescent excitement of Lena Dunham and her new memoir, FAMESICK and what he hated so much about Richard Gadd's new tv show HALF-MAN and the state of the heterosexual audience. Also discussed are wishes for this week's Summer Games Fest/State of Play as well as the joys of parenting AI children in PRAGMATA and what I'm finding more exciting about ZERO PARADES than I did in Disco Elysium.
