The boys go over E3 this week and talk about each press conference and the games that were announced. This week is mostly a E3 show for obvious reasons. This weeks community question was: If you could have delayed any game that you played, that you think needed it what would it have been? Most of the answers were pretty obvious! Next week question is even better! Edward talks about his short list of games played this week and of course more derailment of conversations, but that’s what it is all about. See you all next week!

GETL Podcast says: "In episode 81 we discuss the interesting nuance surrounding narrative and lore elements within video games, and how this interactive medium is both a boon and a curse for lore junkies".
The short answer is, it depends on the game and whether or not narrative is the focus. For example, maybe it's important to provide us with the social commentary that accompanies the fall of civilization as we come face to face with the dark side of humanity in the struggle for survival. On the other hand, maybe we just need to shoot zombies, and that's cool too. The videogame medium is versatile enough to allow for either approach, some combination of both, or something in between.
