Half-Glass Gaming [Episode 39] : Further Destroying the Proud Frankenstein Name
We’ve got a little bit of Spring Fever this week, since the weather’s been warming up, so we came into the studio without an outline or a topic. What resulted was a conversation about diets, Pinterest algorithms, and our unanimous hatred of inspirational quotes.
After the break, we dig into some recent games we’ve been toying around with, including Dying Light, Stardew Valley, Fire Emblem Fates, Grand Theft Auto Online, and so much more. We also talk about Mandi’s passion for spreadsheets, the origins of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, and how Chess is an example of the worst map design ever. Oh, and there are plenty of old stories about dating, both in-game and IRL.
Plus, the Rev details an elaborate plan to create complex stories inside of Skyrim, which you can read more about at Rebecca Elfprincess’ Shared Skyrim Narrative on Tumbler.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a very chill Spring Fever edition of the Half-Glass Gaming podcast.

At Retrovolve, we love discussing, studying, and playing retro games, though not necessarily in that order.
I’m glad to hear you gave yourselves a deserved break. I enjoy all the information you provide but it certainly can’t be easy to do that week in and week out. This listener appreciates all you do.
Hey, we appreciate you listening to us every week, Jimmy! Glad we’re doing a good job for you.

Indeed, it is a lot of work sounding this good, I will admit. But no matter how many hours I spend cultivating this powerful, voluminous (remember?) voice, it is worth it just to have folks listen and go the extra mile and leave a comment.

No wonder lol just saw hes surrounded by chicks
Did you ever play the Frankenstein game on the SNES? Now that ruined the Frankenstein name!
Dying Light is top notch but the minimap in that game ruins the level design. I have to turn it off when I play.
