In our first episode of Another 'Effin Game Podcast, host Doc Watson and his partner-in-crime Rosie debate the work of The Atlantic writer Ian Bogost, and his article "Video Games Are Better Without Stories". Along the way, Doc and Rosie burn an effigy to collective hatred of Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, Rosie confesses her fanfiction habits, and Doc gets confused by triangles.

Pilot Episode

They said it would never be done, but here it is: the first official, non-pilot episode of Another 'Effin Game Podcast?!, hosted by Doc and Rosie. 

In this inaugural episode, we discuss the ins and outs of good DLCs and expansion packs, and weigh in on loot box etiquette. Along the way, Rosie proves that you (yes, you) are better at games than she is, we discuss original sin in its most unholy form, and Doc tries his hardest to prove that we don't think EA are total dicks (he fails).
