    17. Emily Koonce and Suburban Autonomy

    17. Emily Koonce and Suburban Autonomy

    This week we welcome the wonderful Emily Koonce to the show! Emily’s a BFA candidate in NYU’s game design program whose work meditates (she thinks, for the most part, at least right now) on autonomy and the lack thereof in everyday life. Emily, Jimi, and Nick talk about being bored in the suburbs, burning rice in Overcooked 2, and the amazing gift of a Wii with dozens of old games.

    Intro music this week is by Nick, sponsor and closing music by the Greatest Artist of Our Generation, George Michael.
