Special Ep. 01: Dr. Shealove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Play The Game

As many, if not all, of the listeners, are aware, I try my best to keep our show as politics-free as I possibly can. The main reason for this is that I genuinely believe in bringing as many people together as I can because I think the world is a better place when we can all come together to converse and share our individual experiences and passions together. That said, there has been a news story percolating within the last couple of weeks that has gotten me thinking. The news story in question was the recent announcement of the reemergence of the once canceled game, Six Days In Fallujah. The game was originally mired in controversy in 2009 and subsequently lost its publishing deal with Konami and was canceled soon after. Its reemergence has only caused more controversy. The entire news story surrounding this game has led me to think more about what we expect from our games and their politics as well as what we are willing to accept and what we are willing to censor. 

To do that, I have brought in my two guest hosts, the Sword Chomp Elite, Shea Layton and Rich Meister, to talk about just this subject for you today. We dive deep on our thoughts on Six Days In Fallujah. We consider what politics in gaming even means and whether or not gaming needs them. And of course we talk a little bit about censorship and that entire quagmire. All of that and more on this very special edition of Hunting Pixels.
