Ep13: Toxic Gaming: You Can’t Fire Me, I Rage Quit

April 30, 2022

The guys return for round two of the video game discussion to hit more serious topics: toxicity in the playing of video games. They discuss the toxicity in having video games becoming an addiction, creating toxic competition, and ultimately creating a hostile behavior for some, which leads to the notion of “rage quitting” and causing violence. They also take a moment to play their own game, in the form of Are You Smarter Than a Game Character with some special video game cameo appearances.

Ep14: Don’t Cross the Streamers!

May 14, 2022

In Level 3 of the SDJ Video Game Saga, the gang tackles a boss level of discussion about sexism in gaming. We take stock of female and nonbinary characters in the games we play, misogyny and sexism with girl gamers, and the lack of diversity in the gaming community — and how all that is slowly changing. Square 50s Guy wonders how a woman can go joystick to joystick with men.
