The GameCola Podcast #30: Age in Videogames
1In celebration of The GameCola Podcast turning 30, Alex Jedraszczak, Paul Franzen, Christian Porter, and Matt Jonas discuss the touchy topic of age in videogames. Are videogames ageist? Good question, because we mostly just went on about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Topics discussed in this podcast include:
- Most games have underage characters…don’t they?
- It’s OK to kill adults, just as much as it’s fine to kill monsters and robots
- Battletoads
- Final Fantasy characters are older than they look
- The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren’t very realistic teenagers
- Dodongo dislikes smoke
- Old Snake actually just has progeria
- Old people steal a lot and get senior citizen discounts
- We’re good at claiming that something unrelated is actually on topic
- Send us an e-mail!
No, seriously, send us an e-mail. If you e-mail us, you’ll receive a free mocking on the next podcast! So, have some cake, give it a listen, send us an e-mail, and enjoy!
