Moving Pixels Podcast

The Moving Pixels Podcast crew decided to follow up on last week's discussion of "Real Evil in Video Games" with a discussion of the various villains in games that are of a more idealized nature than the simulations of real life villainy that we had previously concerned ourselves with.   The resulting discussion took several different forms, including discussion of how gamers view conflicts within games themselves, the "evils" of various forms of antagonism within game narratives and also game mechanics themselves.   As a result, some of this discussion may be concerned with villains that represent more abstracted forms of evil but may also confront the more "malicious" obstacles embedded in the design of a game.
