Game & Read Podcast: Recent Episodes
Game & Read
A game and book club podcast. Every month we pair a book and a game together and discuss them at length.
Things got weird and we got out.
In this deviation from our regular pairing schedule, we're finishing the pairing of Strange Highways by Dean Koontz and Kentucky Route Zero from Cardboard Computer with a combo game discussion and wrap up episode.

Before we jump into our next pairing, we're here with a topic episode. This week we are talking all about evil in books and games - evil protagonists, evil quests, and generally bad characters. There's so much we could talk about so we limited our discussion to things we have personally played or read.
SPOILER ALERT! We are going to talk about twists and key plot points in order to have a meaningful discussion, so there will be spoilers in this episode. You can find the list of books and games below in the order in which we discuss them.
Books Discussed: My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn The Shining by Stephen King Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao Circe by Madeline Miller The Seven 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
Video Games Discussed: Skyrim The Witcher Undertale Fable Bioshock Braid Shadow of Colossus God of War The Sexy Brutale Grand Theft Auto Yakuza Civilization Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
