patreon.com/agitator Fella - host of The Third Place and everyone's favorite Hard R Gamer - returns after way too long to discuss with Kelby the ways in which stories can be told through video games, how video games are like books, Metal Gear Solid (primarily 4), Hideo Kojima and his body curiosity, JRPGs, Red Dead Redemption 2 as the ultimate love/hate game, The Last of Us, adaptations, the next evolution of games and stories in general, Tekken as soap opera, and more. Also, we hit the summoning pool to bring JDO in on the action near the end, to help us take down the final Elden Ring boss.
