In the world of Red Dead Redemption, regret hangs heavy over the heads of our protagonists. Roads not taken, choices made poorly, lives never lived. John Marston's sins are so great, he can't accept that he'll ever find salvation.
What are your favorite moments from Rockstar's western saga?
As a supplement to our Harold Halibut podcast episode, Chris wrote a video essay on how deeply the themes of this game affected him! Check out โFinding Purpose In the Unknownโ now on YouTube! youtu.be/nV8L6g2pYJk?...

CONKERโs BAD FUR DAY was one of the last Nintendo 64 games to be released, but its legacy was cemented via its clever and raunchy humor! A cartoon cavalcade of irreverent comedy!
Who else had this controversial game on the N64?
METAL GEAR SOLID 2 gets rightly praised for accurately predicting the future. But letโs not forget that the rest of the MGS franchise has some poignant writing between all the wacky sci-fi action. Is it possible for connection to emerge from destruction? Otaconโs question feels painfully timeless.

David Lynch wrote and directed some of the most mesmerizing art to ever make it to film and television. His vision has even influenced video games including Hi-Fi Rush and The Legend of Zelda franchise. Iโm very sad heโs gone but also grateful to have experienced his work. RIP.

What's a video game line that CHALLENGED you?
Kratos and Atreus have a lot of heavy one-on-one moments during their family journey in GOD OF WAR. But the heart of all of Kratos' wisdom comes down to one idea: To "be better" than before.

What's a video game line that INSPIRES YOU?!
Harold Halibut has a lot of cozy, friendly, life-affirming moments within its sci-fi setting. Harold's friend Buddy is a major source of inspiration to do all you can, every day of your life!
