Happy Thanksgiving! A big thanks to all my listeners. This week I share my thoughts on the muddled political message of Buffy's Thanksgiving episode. Also, my brother and I talk X-Files, Mass Effect, and other videogames.
Notes:
2:46 - After recording, it occurred to me that King of the Hill also did a Thanksgiving episode that raised these issues and also seems to conclude with an ambiguous message.
11:38 - Do check out the Dork Web (https://thedorkweb.net/).
25:33 - The Simpsons episode referenced here is Bart the Mother.
31:23 - Tower of Hanoi is the name of the puzzle.
32:16 - I highly recommend Ted-Ed and their riddle videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsooa4yRKGN_zEE8iknghZA).
35:16 - For the record, I was nothing but kind and supportive towards my brother when we were kids.
47:40 - Alpha Protocol remains my favorite game of all time and I don't care how ridiculous that sounds. I remain immensely frustrated that its poor production values and bugs cause it to be overlooked. It is a flawed gem that is well worth checking out.
