52 – Woodcock – Marx at the Arcade

Learn all about the academic field of game studies!

As a dropped-out academic it’s been wonderful to have a podcast like this to help use that part of my brain that wraps around theory, history, art and other topics like this. Plus I love the banter between the hosts.

Favorite podcast!

These guys make me wish I had picked an artsier major in college or had gone to Grad School. Deep takes on all kinds of subjects. It’s the only podcast I know of that has to bring up Derrida every single episode (even if I keep forgetting exactly who Derrida is). Somehow they always sneak in a discussion of Shakespeare too.

If you’re looking for really interesting views on what gaming and play actually are and mean, this is your podcast.

Great crash course on books you’ll never read

Game Studies Study Buddies

This is the third episode of Game Studies Study Buddies, a podcast where your two co-hosts read through works of academic game studies and talk about it. If you’re interested in that, you might like this show! This episode is about Janet Murray’s Hamlet On The Holodeck, a classic book in the game studies canon. It argues that procedural media fundamentally changes the stakes of how narrative functions. It was originally published in 1997, and so the question remains: what does it offer us now? We investigate. Here is a link to a post with some information about some of the references we made in this episode. Follow Ranged Touch on Twitter. Follow CMRN on Twitter. Follow Michael on Twitter.
