A Dungeon About - Episode 2 - Cogito Ergo Sum
This episode goes deep into The Talos Principle, Croteam's philosophical 3D puzzler. We thought the game deserved a critical evaluation of its various philosophical, mythological, and religious themes, as well as its exploration of consciousness and agency in the broader context of video-games, a famously agentic medium. But then, we recordded this podcast instead. Seriously, though, there are major spoilers in this, so just be warned. You may also enjoy our discussion of Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus. The game gives some much deserved representation to the Adeptus Mechanicus, which, according to Vincent, seems to be the Emperor's most whimsical tech-support team.
Topics Discussed: The Talos Principle, Greek Philosophy (not really), Consciousness, The Stanley Parable, Portal, Horror Games, Serious Sam, Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, Sim Tower
