AFK Podcast EP 3: Mine and Craft

WE LIKE GAMES…

…and I’m sure you do too.

In this podcast we take a deep dive into some of the most popular games. We examine what we like about them and talk about the impact they have had on the wider community. We also discuss what makes these games so fun. To make a long story short we’re gamers and if we are not playing games we’re talking about them. 

Moreover each episode talks about a new game that both me and my guest have played with nothing being off the table. From classic games like Minecraft to older titles that have defined gaming for generations like Halo. We make sure to give every game a fair chance. In this Podcast we express our gratitude for these incredible works of art.

IN THIS EPISODE…

…We are joined by a long time player of Minecraft, Reina Dinges, who shares what makes the game so appealing to them. We also dicuss how the game has defined our childhoods. Furthermore we dive into our favorite mods and why it is Pixlemon. When we are not playing Minecraft we are talking how the game reaches such a wide audience. Our favorite Minecraft YouTubers what we think the best mods are and how we are shaped by this wonderful game is all compressed into this 16 minute episode.  

IN UPCOMING EPISODES…
