We have an eclectic show for you this week. We take on several different topics in one show! Introducing a new segment, we talk about gender stereotypes in commercials. “Gender Sells” will become a regular segment and one we’d love to hear your suggestions about. Then we talk about two short Wonder Woman videos shared with us by a listener. We also talk about game narratives that aren’t inherent to the game. Then we WRaP up with how we’re geeking out this week. So many good topics, such a great conversation!
Links Discussed:
Gender Sells: Chevy “Crazy” Cruise and Bounty Dad
Wonder Woman Short Films: DC Nation and Rainfall Studios
Game Narratives: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC)
We’d love to hear your thoughts about all of the above in the comments!
Until next time, game on!
