About Aftermath Hours
The flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post. Each week, games journalism veterans Luke Plunkett, Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, Riley MacLeod, and Gita Jackson – though not always all at once, because that’s too many people for a podcast – break down video game news, Remember Some Games, and learn about Chris’ frankly incredible number of special interests. Sometimes we even bring on guests from both inside and outside the video game industry! I don’t know what else to tell you; it’s a great time. Simply by reading this description, you’re already wasting time that you could be spending listening to the show. Head to aftermath.site for more info.

You're interacting with art just by looking at it, right? Like that's... That's not really a great definition. And immersion isn't necessarily the things that we say about video games that are immersive, right? It's not hyper-realistic graphics or naturalistic UI mechanics. But this gave me a sense of, oh, this game is a narrative story. There's a lot of writing in it. It is also cinematic in the way that one actually uses that term cinematic. […]
