Bringing you irrelevant podcasting, it's the No New Games Podcast! We recorded before the Infinity Ward thing happened. Plus, I have no idea what else is on this show. Really, I'm just putting this up because I said I would. Also it was just Jer and I.

First, I'll come for the writers, and you'll do nothing.

This is going to be irrelevant by the time it makes it to a podcast but it's time that we discuss such a thing, such a terrible thing as writers. So I am forbidding it to appear on my show as a topic. See, I've finished Silent Hill for the Wii this weekend, and it has provoked me. Not from what Jer claims it has, but from the picture perfect illustration of what I thought I was going for in Albatross. Let's set the stage, before we begin.

While I was writing that article about Doom you probably just read, I was having another conversation with some friends of mine. The talk was such that I felt my mind was on the verge of collapse trying to get through, so after stopping with that discussion, I'm going to write it out now, so that I have it properly phrased the next time I need to talk about it.

This is about how story in games, as it exists now, is entirely unnecessary. There's going to be spoilers for a few games. You were warned.
