Episode 31: Pedantic Gamers Anonymous (feat. Emily Price)
Episode description
Want to hear three 20-somethings relitigate the decades-old argument of whether games can be art? Well you're in for a treat when Tori and Noah delve into games criticism, art criticism and much, much more with special guest writer Emily Price. Price has a regular column at Unwinnable, and she's written about games for the Washington Post, Paste Magazine and more.
It's not all hippy-dippy art crit, though. We're also talking Final Fantasy VII, our brief thoughts on the latest Nintendo Direct and, of course, what we're playing this week. You can find Emily on Twitter: @the_emilyap
