So, originally this was gonna be an episode about Life is Strange. Then my video card died and I was mostly left with leftover footage from Destiny. So instead I cobbled together this response video (I guess?) to a lot of the commentary the last video got. My technical problems should soon be resolved and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program soon (with a return to looking at some smaller games!). Mean time, here's me talking some more about Destiny, Farmville, Animal Crossing, and what it means for mechanics to have some not-so-great bits that get downplayed or reframed in the context of bigger systems.
