This week Taylor is out of town in San Francisco (not saving Malic from shifty looking space cows from Mars) but almost everyone else is here for some serious discussion. This week our feature is Byrd’s Nest and we talk about the tricky subject of war and video games and whether or not a video game can represent war accurately and if they should even try. In News Conference we talk about a doctoral student from University of Missouri’s research that finds that video modern video games equate religion with violence. Finally, in Personal Choice we talk about historical eras that should be represented in video games.
