About Professors Play

Do you like playing video games? Of course you do. But do you also like deeply analyzing them sometimes? Then you're one of us! If that's not your vibe, then you should also listen--our giddy nerdy excitement will make you a believer as well. Every couple of weeks, in this quite-literally named podcast, media professors Phil Chauveau, Jon Adams, and Brandon West will play different games of different types and discuss their experiences, with a tinge of academic-y interjections here and there. Take a listen for some mostly-casual-but-still-deep video game convos! *Also available on YouTube

   The Professors Review the Emblematic Plot of FE: Engage

   FE: Engage takes the more is more approach the storytelling. In this episode, the Professors provide a reductio ad absurdum-style review of the plot and all of its (many, many) twists, and discuss how that impacts our experience with the game.

   The Professors are Engrossed by FE: Engage

   The Professors are getting pulled into all of the nitty-gritty of Fire Emblem--the unit and weapon customization, battle strategies, and of course, the social sim mechanics (for one of the Professors, at least). Tune in for a discussion on battle tactics, missing mechanics in games, and ring polishing.

   The Professors are Fired Up about Fire Emblem: Engage

   In their next series, the Professors will discuss the latest entry in the storied Fire Emblem series, FE: Engage. Coming off the success of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Engage has mechanics meant to cater to the new fans (such as social sim aspects) but also functions as an homage to older FE games through the use of the Emblem system, which lets players summon heroes of other FE games to help in battle. Join the Professors for a discussion on this, plus a game Professor Chauveau likes to call: "Fire Emblem Title: Real or Fake?" at the end of the episode!
