What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah in an exploration of Religion in Video Games. After some discussion on the nature of play, escapism, and the literary bonafides of video games as a medium, the Marathon cruises through a quiz on some famous depictions of myth and religion in games. After that, it's time for some analysis of literary apocalypse, and how "belief" (or "faith?") is a factor any time a player interacts with a created virtual world. Contained within: Republican hate-fantasies, Good Saint MissingNo., Jordan Peterson vs. Richter Belmont, and best friends getting together to attack and dethrone God.
