This is the Gamercer jobs conference call for Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. I am your host, Amanda Nolton,

and today joining me, talk about all kinds of things. Two? Two, two things? There's lots of twos

happening today. Duality is going to be a big theme in today's show. As you've heard, I've got

Rich the Joy Conjury Lovejoy.

Hello and welcome.

I am staring into the mirror surface of the water and excited to be here and hoping that you guys are talking to the light, rich, and not the dark place rich.

But we'll find out.

Oh, my.

Also joining us, I've got Aaron Amandola, the turbo hoodie.

Hello.

Hello, my name is Alan Wake.

I'm a writer.

Our topic for today is a lecture on the political, artistic, and cultural role of video games during the current

probably crisis that Rich and Darrell both recently attended. Before we get into that, though,

we're going to talk about some games that we have been playing. First, game up on the docket,

Spider-Man 2. Now, I did briefly touch on this last week. I think I was kind of lukewarm on it, but I think that was just because I was still kind of in the opening tutorial sequence, if you want to call it that. And it's definitely warmed on me. So, Erin, I want to hear your take on it because I know that you've completed it.

And, you know, like I felt it was a little, it was a little family friendly,

a little too family friendly for me at some points.

But one thing that really redeemed it for me was the, I guess, ambient dialogue, the MPC chatter and a few other details that they included in this game that I think really redeemed it for me.

So I just wanted to get your take on it.

I'm curious, did you get to the NPC dialogue where they talk about pouring gasoline on a baby?

And one woman's like, that's not what we do.
