Some Patches Required
Hello everybody, and welcome to Some Patches Required. Every other Thursday, your hosts Aaron and Zak use their backgrounds in game development and analysis to discuss various facets of the ever-turbulent games industry. From interviews with AAA/indie devs to deep dives on timely topics, the duo hopes to entertain and educate you on this wild medium we all love.

Gameplay vs. Narrative, Second Chances, and Our First Concise Outro
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A wise podcaster once said, "Look to your games for gameplay; nothing else." Another said, "narrative is vital, no matter the experience." Neither Zak nor Aaron know where to find the ancient texts that hold the ultimate truth as to whether story is more important than mechanics or vice versa. One thing's for certain: they'll need to solve a few puzzles to come to a conclusion.
This time, hosts Zak and Aaron try to make sense of the strange relationship between gameplay and narrative, and weigh in on whether one is more important than the other. Naturally, it proves to be too big of a topic for two mortals to tackle in roughly an hour. Then again, they do spend a fair amount of time talking about fried chicken.
Also, Aaron forgot to turn off his air conditioner before recording. When asked for a comment, he said, "Well, poopy."
Enjoy.
