    I am so happy to have found this. Playful and erudite at the same time, a real pleasure to listen to. One of the most articulate podcasts I’ve listened to…

  • Too few buddies

    As we know "the average American has fewer than three Game Studies Study Buddies, fewer than three people they would consider Game Studies Study Buddies. And the average person has demand for meaningfully more.”

    Mark’s social really is predicated on his exclusions.

    Anyway, here is two more to fill you up.

    A rip roaring good time. Like hanging out with the buds at a poker night if they were all also reading the same book for grad school. You’ll never guess what they have to say about the social vis-a-vis it’s exclusions

85 – American Truck Simulator
Q: So Michael, why are we playing American Truck Simulator as opposed to reading a book?
