Guess what? Here at Brock we have an MA program in Game Studies! That's right - you can do Game Studies at the graduate level with us! My excellent fellow game scholar @emmavphd.bsky.social also teaches in the program! Attend our info session tomorrow (or in December) to learn more! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽ“

In retrospect, Obsidian getting Pentiment out there into the world before Microsoft exploded really feels like they pulled off the weirdest heist in gaming history.

Update: even after we removed the entire sex quest, Steam mis-classifies Future? No Thanks! as pornography, making it invisible to most Steam users and completely geo-locked in Germany. We are currently at Gamescom in Cologne, everybody is asking us why they can't see the PAGE of a Teen rated game.
