Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week my good friend, recurring guest and host of 'Lighting the Void' joins me, the great Joe Rupe! While we take our usual analytical eye to today's topic, we also kick back and have a bit of fun as we talk about a topic that is really all about having fun: video games!
From the art of programming, to the imaginative lore, the human psychological pros and cons, all the way to the esoteric philosophical implications -- we've got you covered in this episode! Are video games something we can become addicted to and waste time with? Yep. Are they also a fascinating art form that does something no other art can do? Yep. Are there unique speculative implications with video games, such as simulation-theory, the collective consciousness at work, and the overall Hermetic nature of the cosmos? Yep!
And on top of all that, we also just about some great games as well. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting. Cheers!
