But it also makes you think, ya know? Here’s the description from developers Galactic Cafe:\n\nThe Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand.\nBut as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance.\nBased on the award-winning 2011 Source mod of the same name, The Stanley Parable returns with new content, new ideas, a fresh coat of visual paint, and the stunning voicework of Kevan Brighting.\n\nOther topics for this episode include:\n\nShane is a nerd! He recommends the mostly free tabletop RPG system FATE, which favors story over simulation. Downloads of the rules are available in a Pay-what-you-want from on the FATE website.\nNate is really into Infamous: Second Son on his shiny new Nintendo 64 Playstation 4\nESCAPE GOAT 2!
