Playing Dread: Playing Dread Ep. 10: DooM + Wolfenstein 3D
After a way-too-long hiatus, Playing Dread is back, and we're looking at a big one for our tenth episode. Just in time (and by that, I mean 3-months after the fact) for DooM: The Dark Ages, we look at...

How do you adapt a video game into a movie is a good question. How do you adapt a video game that is basically already a movie into a different movie is a better question. But Sony is going to try! Adrian reacts to the first trailer of the Until Dawn movie! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IVt...

Coming Wednesday, 12/18, we look at [ p a r a s i t e e v e ]! We speculate on why Square made a sequel to a novel, try to wrap our heads around all of the scientific psychobabble, and accidentally turn our horror podcast into an RPG podcast. Our apologies to Axe of the Blood God.

We're back this coming Wednesday with the big one; Lamont and Adrian finally take on the foggy streets of the original SILENT HILL. But can they find something to say that hasn't been said in the last 25 years? They're going to try their best, dang it.

We're not dead! Our first ever guest @lameposting.bsky.social joins us for a deep dive on Dead Rising, Capcom's first entry into their other zombie franchise. With a new don't-call-it-a-remake, does the original still hold up? Spoilers: of course it does.

New episode! We look at 'Harvester', an adventure game from 1996 that evokes exploitation films and art in an attempt to deconstruct the violent video game debate of the 90s. Was it successful? And is it any good? Lamont and Adrian take a look: www.patreon.com/posts/ep-5-h...

Coming this Wednesday: Lamont and Adrian discuss violent video games, generational warfare, political propaganda and hegemonic attitudes of gender/sexuality/race as depicted in mainstream media, the nature of art itself, and more. Oh, and Harvester. We also talk about Harvester.

This week's episode covers Remedy's Alan Wake, assuming Adrian is able to record anything other than unintelligible praise.

Our first episode launches April 10th, covering the original Alone in the Dark Trilogy! A perfect starting point to cover first, not influenced by the recent release of a modern reboot whatsoever. Why was it so influential? Do the games still hold up? Does it matter if they do? Find out April 10th!
