Games for Gaza, GTA6 Anti-Hype, and A Light in the Darkness

Tanya and Jonathan talk about the VGA's total failure to talk about how real life atrocities in Palestine, and games about the real life Holocaust like A Night in the Darkness, matter to games and everything else. Guests Esther and Omar talk about making the Games of Gaza bundle and developing games under to shadow of forced displacement and constant threat, and Elly chats about Air Twister, GTA6, and her sexual Twitter timeline. 0:00:00 - Moments in the Dark0:03:01 - The Past, Present, and Future of Videogames0:05:59 - Dealing with Trauma through Game Development with Esther and Omar0:32:15 - How Do You Talk about Videogames when Palestine is Getting Bombed?0:34:24 - Putting Your Hands Up In the Air with Elly1:01:35 - Top Games of 2023 That Came Out in 20181:05:16 - 2024, The Year of Charlie1:06:53 - Wrap Up/Plugs1:10:24 - Suck That Yuck
