“Not for me I hate them.” Platformers; Player Agency

This week, your nice hosts take a moment to celebrate Glitch's 8th birthday! Also: Martha doesn't like jumps, Stephen talks in a British(?) accent, and Mark calls Mega Man ugly.

We talk a lot about Glitch on the show. Its HQ is where we record the show, and it's how your nice hosts met each other and became pals. If you're not familiar with the organization, here are some helpful links:

Glitch's website
Glitch's event calendar
Glitch on Twitter, Facebook
Sara Ferret's Glitch fellowship project, "Organ Temple VR"
Abdiwak Yohannes' Glitch fellowship project, "Boji."

[0;05;55] Platformers

The 2.5D Owl game we were talking about is called Everend.
We talked about how we define game genres in a previous episode.
You can download an early demo of the parkour racing game Sparkour right now!
The Widget Satchel team watched a lot of ferret videos.
