It's Monday, which means that VICE Gaming's Patrick Klepek and Austin Walker are back in the bunker and ready to talk about video games. While Austin dives headfirst into the (unfortunately shaky) virtual worlds of PlayStation VR, Patrick finds himself trapped in the violent void of Thumper, where driving rhythm and cosmic horror collide. Their only means of escape is a reader question: How should developers tackle race and identity in games?
Games discussed: Batman Arkham VR, Job Simulator, Wayward Sky, Thumper, Mafia III, Watch Dogs

0:29.4 | this time last week joining me as always Patrick Kleppich is almost this |

0:39.7 | clocks are weird in your head when you've done something at 10 a.m. and then you |

1:10.4 | farming my understanding is because like when the sun hits places that it's |
1:15.5 | different obviously I mean I know that was definitely about you know like they |

1:34.4 | they needed all of those cities to be on the same time previous to that it was |
