Geeks & Grounds

Games offer a bevy of leadership options to choose from -- what have we learned from playing leaders (and fighting those final bosses) all these years? Jenny and Joel dive into the topic of leadership today through the lens of two very different games: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and Beholder 2. Ponder & Share with us: Do we need leaders? What are the characteristics of a good/great leader? Where can you find us?

We still have some awkward transitions, but at least Joel is closer to the mic this time! :) In this episode of Geeks & Grounds, we explore news of a new Harry Potter game, gush over the cutest magical girl cat cafe Kickstarter (what?!), and take a deeper dive into the topic of friendship as inspired by indie game, The Gardens Between by The Voxel Agents. Tune in and take a break!

The coffee has been percolating, but it’s finally ready! Jenny and Joel kick off the first podcast of Geeks & Grounds with a discussion about developing, setting, and maintaining norms and expectations in online communities. We DO geek out over community building, but we bring in examples of games that do a great -- as well as not as great -- job in setting up those norms and expectations. Don’t worry! We also save plenty of time to share the interesting game news floating across our radars, the latest releases we’re excited about, and what we’ve been playing. Grab your cups and take a break with us!
