Bundle Bourgeoisie

by David Baxter & Johnny Bartlett

Two liberal arts majors use the pretentious ideology taught to them over the course of four years to discuss how video games are good. We look at the cultural impact of the stories and ludo-narrative of games from the Humble Choice Bundle every month and absurdly try to analyze what these games mean in society. What do we know though? We're mostly just making up nonsense and telling you if they're worth it.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Two liberal arts majors use the pretentious ideology taught to them over the course of four years to discuss how video games are good. We look at the cultural impact of the stories and ludo-narrative of games from the Humble Choice Bundle every month and absurdly try to analyze what these games mean in society. What do we know though? We're mostly just making up nonsense and telling you if they're worth it.
