Unconsoleable

Games can be fun and accessible even if you haven't been playing them for 20 years. Consoles scare us and we bet they scare you, too.

The Real Doggins viewing one of his many awards

137: Doggins 2: First Blood

May 2, 2017

They make charming games, have an adorable dog, work side by side while staying happily married, and did we mention the cute dog?

Who are these fabulous guests? Why, it's Brooke and David Condolora of indie game studio Brain & Brain, of course.

We chatted with the dynamic duo about how they got started in games, struck out on their own, and possibly invented the quiet adventure genre in the process.

We also dug into a recent op-ed about narrative in games that has been making the rounds lately, and Brooke and David weighed in.

Please rate and review us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter (and follow Jessica and Anna too), like us on Facebook, buy our merch, our other merch, and email us if you too have a cute dog we should meet :-)
