Episode 6: What Space and Place Were You When England Won the Euros? (with Lisa Meek)

On the sixth episode of Game Academy, good times never seemed so good! Joined by Lisa Meek, Adam and Steph fondly (or, in Steph's case, not so much) remember when the Lionesses won the Euros. Lisa, amazing guest that she is, is firmly on the winning side with Adam while Steph laments Spain's misfortunes. Nevertheless, they fill us in on what it was like at Wembley during the Euro final. Adam, in an unsurprising turn of events, spills the details on his weddings by focusing solely on his shiny new Steam Deck. Our hosts also chat to sociologist and PhD candidate Lisa Meek, the host of September's Space and Place in Virtual Worlds week! Lisa tells us the details of the incredible line-up for the week and we all chat about our love of history through the lens of games and Lisa's undying love for County Durham. Steph also tries to convince Adam that Space and Place may just be the next big thing in video games studies, but as always, Adam's not having any of it. He does concede that Space and Place is interesting though, so that's a start.One of us, one of us! Book your free tickets to the opening conference of the Space and Place in Virtual Worlds week https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/space-and-place-in-virtual-worlds-tickets-354691390497Get your free tickets to Gothic Spaces Discussion: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gothic-spaces-in-virtual-worlds-discussion-tickets-392337551177?aff=ebdsoporgprofileJoin our live reading group on the 14th September https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/live-reading-group-space-and-place-in-virtual-worlds-tickets-403938519987?aff=ebdsoporgprofileFollow Lisa on Twitter: @jesuis_tiredFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/multiplayuosSend questions and abstracts to networkmultiplay AT gmail DOT com Hosted on Acast.
