Great episode, but missed the mark on Wing Commander. Calling it just a flight sim is like saying Portal is just a game with a gun. WC pioneered the idea that games could become grand cinematic experiences on par with Hollywood. That's its influence. Without WC, there's no Mass Effect.

On Sunday, December 21, at the Dig Dug Dig festival in Washington, DC, I'll be giving a short talk on how to get started making indie video games and also show Crypt Crawler (40% off on Steam right now) which we made this year with a fantastic intern.

I hopped on to suggest Lucian's True Story after the fact but, since Leganto already did, may I suggest a future subgenre deep dive into diaspora fiction? 1000xRESIST is a great example (Peabody award, Hugo & Nebula noms), but there are other excellent works in the Latin & African diasporas, too.
