Show Notes
We tend to remember the more positive moments in our past, rather than the mundane and "normal" moments. In gaming and other media, this leads people to form bonds not necessarily with the game or media itself, but with those moments in time that were attached to that media. What does that mean for modern games, or games of the future? Is the quality of media worse in the present than in the past, or do people just need to "take off the rose-colored glasses?" The boys take a trip back in time and talk about what we're nostalgic about, and why we think nostalgia is good, and bad, for the industry.

Tutorials can be awesome, but they can also be suck-tacular. They can be brief, or overly drawn-out. They can sometimes hold your hand, and they can sometimes be Dark Souls. The one thing that most games have in common is that they each have one, even if you might not realize that it's there.
The boys are back for Sub-Level 4 of the Backrooms Podcast!!
