Description

Pac-Man's Search for Meaning is a show where two friends (and occasional guests) talk about video games and try to sort out what certain video games are trying to tell us. What are the themes? How are game mechanics used to convey those themes? Who was Video James? What unique tools can games use to tell stories and explore ideas? What are the ethical implications of the branching stories that games can tell? How many funny little guys does something need to have to be called a "video game"? **SPOILER WARNING** This show will absolutely spoil any game being discussed, along with other games in the same series, other games made by the same studio or creative team, movies and tv shows that are related to or based on the game (or based on the same source material), movies and tv shows that are vaguely related to the game of the week. Pretty much anything that comes up is likely to be spoiled. **Disclaimer** We are not experts. We're just trying to have a conversation about stuff we think is interesting. Think we totally misunderstood something? Tell us about it via pacmanssearchformeaning at gmail, or on instagram, or PMSFMPOD on twitter.
