    Marine Conservation and Tomb Raider


    Lara Croft faces many underwater beasties during her quests, however are these marine menaces actually misunderstood? I spoke to Tomb Raider fan and activist Bernardo Hautenne from Blue Religion, a marine conservation group based in Mexico, and asked how the game's creatures measure up to their real-life counterparts.

    44: Clinical Psychology & Tomb Raider

    In this episode, I speak to clinical psychologist and Tomb Raider Dr Amy Goodrum about the positive benefits video games can have on players, and how the media's portrayal of video games as the cause of violent and aggressive behavior isn't as clear cut as they'd have us believe.

    Well, we made it at last. Alfredo's TR3 journey has concluded, but you had many questions for him. We gathered a big bunch of them, combined some, and I fired them at him for a special episode.

TAL Croft ,

Absolutely Wonderful!

I’m loving it what an amazing idea!
I’m so grateful for this community and I’m so happy to see it blossom in ways I couldn’t even imagine. I know that sometimes we all have different opinions and we don’t always agree on them, but that’s what being a part of a community is all about - overcome negativity and come together in ways like this incredible podcast.

Extremely well done, I love it

Really really great for anyone who loves the Tomb Raider games (especially the originals from back in the Playstation days!). The production level is way better than it needs to be, and spends time not only revisiting the games and lore but connecting them to real world locales and mythology. It's almost like linking the real with the fiction but also exploring fictions as if they were real. If you're into video games + archaeology + mythology + nostalgia then you will LOVE it!

Well-presented research and speculation.

Really enjoyed the latest episode that delves deep into the varying interpretations and approaches to the Atlantean myths and Atlantean society. Comparing pre-Tomb Raider (1996) writing to later renditions in TRAoD, Tomb Raider Underworld, and assessing artifacts and trinkets for clues provides insight into the inner workings that the main narratives themselves may not have. Great content!
