Checkpoint Magazine Podcast

In this module Jake and Tamer discuss the darker side of platform games. How are they concieved, why is platform pretence light and fluffy when actually it's quite a morbid narrative?

The #metoo movement comes into discussion too as well as a brief mention of gamergate.

But not to worry, it's not all dark! There is the quiz, which Tamer forgets is his turn, but is able to knock out a few questions during the course of the podcast...

The team are also looking at implementing the forum for the site. Please do let us know if you're interested in this. You can let us know over at Twitter (@CheckpointMzine), this will be done over the coming weeks. Support Checkpoint Magazine Podcast
