Post Games is a listener-supported podcast about how and why we love video games. Each week, host Chris Plante reports on a new, overlooked, or underappreciated topic in gaming culture. Where did all the new porn games come from? What’s it like to be the AI that destroys the world? How has one award turned tiny indie game makers into big-name millionaires? With original interviews, writing, and a traditional audio-magazine structure, Plante keeps things entertaining, informative, and always under 90 minutes. Because Post Games is meant to be listened to, not buried in a backlog. Learn more at www.post.games. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Then came the censorship campaign. To help us understand what shifted in the culture over the summer, and where NSFW games go from here, I needed an expert on media censorship, video games, pornography, feminism, and the history of sex labor activism. Today’s guest is that unicorn. Jean Ketterling is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Studies – Women’s and Gender Studies Program at the University of Saskatchewan.

  6. Can you fit cable TV into a video game?

    Can you fit cable TV into a video game?

    Subscribe for $5 to get bonus segments and episodes at Patreon.com/postgames Get the newsletter with full show notes and links for free at www.post.games This September, following a successful run on the experimental gaming handheld Playdate, Blippo+ will release on Nintendo Switch and Steam. The game, created in collaboration with an iconic indie band, attempts to reproduce the feeling of channel surfing in the early days of cable television. Its graphics aren’t graphics at all, but full-motion video. Actors bounced around shows that resemble episodes of Pee-wee Herman, the concerts of Klaus Nomi, and the “I can’t believe they made this for kids” programming of early Nickelodeon and MTV. As I played Blippo+, flipping through the channels, I felt a deep nostalgia for something I'd nearly forgotten. And then I wondered: what inspires artists to try to recreate not just a show or a TV channel’s slate, but the entire TV experience. To find out, I spoke with rockstar, journalist, and Blippo+ writer Claire Evans! This week on Post Games: Act 1: From Rockstar to Game Maker Act 2: The Birth of Blippo Patreon Bonus: A Guide to Metal Gear Solid: Delta Act 3: News of the Week Find episode notes and more at www.post.games.

    A Broadway musician’s double life as a murder mystery maker

    Get full show notes at www.post.games Subscribe for bonus segments and episodes, plus everything is ad-free! www.patreon.com/postgames Heads up! You can now watch Post Games shorts on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Today's guest is musical composer, orchestrator, lyricist, conductor, and musician Mike Pettry, who climbed the rungs of the theater world and now performs in the orchestras of award-winning Broadway shows. His performances have accompanied artists like Ben Platt and Idina Menzel. But as his Broadway career blossomed, Pettry began to fantasize about something else entirely: making a musical… video game. A murder mystery musical video game, to be precise. Murder at the Birch Tree Theater is a deduction game, in the style of Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol. Set across many years at a small community theater, it tells a story of intrigue, small-time fame, and, as the title promises, murder. I talk with Pettry about juggling his two dreams on the world's biggest stage. Or under it. He plays in the orchestra after all. Act 1: A gamer in the Broadway pit Act 2: Fine-tuning a musical murder mystery game Patreon-bonus: Three original songs based on retro gaming classics, created by Mike Pettry and his longtime collaborator Eli Bolin The two previously wrote and orchestrated songs for John Mulaney’s Sack Lunch Bunch and Documentary Now!
