Video Game Documentaries

Podcasts about video games — like most podcasts, I suppose — tend to go down the easy route: two or more people talk crap and make wisecracks about new games or old games (or both) and various things vaguely-connected to games. Some get into the tougher logistics of interviews or pre-planned conversations, sure, and that's great, but to go the really hard route of authored, scripted, edited stories to inspire and inform as effectively as possible? That's rare.So rare, even, that I seem to be the only one currently making a games-centric show of this sort (The Life & Times of Video Games), and amazingly — given the massive size and scope of the games industry — there are scant few games-centric episodes of ANY documentary-style podcasts.I've done my best to find them all, and to group them into the four categories below: 1) Games Culture; 2) Game Development, Past and Present; 3) Games History and Preservation; and 4) everything that I wasn't sure how to best fit into one of the other categories.
