Here Be Media - Episode 32 - Disco Elysium: Rummaging through the Ruin of History w/ Labor Kyle
Episode description
Hello everyone!!
We continue well into February, as we bring in the incomparable Labor Kyle to talk about... one of the best games of all time. It's time to talk about Disco Elysium!!
Join us as we dive into the real genesis and formation of revolutionary character that can happen in Harry DuBois, and then, with no less gravitas, about the intersection of this game with Walter Benjamin's "Thesis on the Concept of History". How Harry himself can be History amidst the Ruins strewn about that we can, in-game, interact with and ponder over, as we, maybe, act as a detective.
It's a special game, with a special episode to boot! Enjoy!
