About this episode
The hosts discuss three movies centered around gamified virtual worlds and their comparison to actual video gaming experiences.
We watched three whole movies about gamified virtual worlds, none of which are as fun as playing an actual video game. Classic noob behavior. GAMER (2009, Neveldine/Taylor) ASSASSIN’S CREED (2016, Justin Kurzel) SERENITY (2019, Steven Knight)
