We Should All Be Playing Video Games

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of video games and their cultural significance over the years.

In 2006, it was Halo 2 and a Mountain Dew Code Red. In 2026, it’s Fortnite and an OLIPOP Shirley Temple. Some of us play video games on first dates, some play Video Games by Lana Del Rey, but we all love Dots Pretzels. All this and more on Good Children. Join us on Patreon! No filter. No notes.
