Moving Pixels Podcast

We have been focusing on discussions of individual games for a number of weeks. This week we decided to consider some broader interests in games once again. In this case, we decided to talk about how character customization effects our experience of a game world.   As a result, our discussion considers how initial character creation as well as ways of modifying characters, like buying clothing in a game world, affects our sense of the characters that we inhabit when we play games.   Oh, we also wonder a bit about why we like to play as girls.   We will be focusing on a number of these broader topics in the next few weeks and should also be including a few guests from the PopMatters staff. So, be sure to tune us in in the coming weeks.
