        <![CDATA[<p>In this module Jake and Tamer discuss the darker side of platform games. How are they concieved, why is platform pretence light and fluffy when actually it's quite a morbid narrative?</p>

<p>The #metoo movement comes into discussion too as well as a brief mention of gamergate. </p>

<p>But not to worry, it's not all dark! There is the quiz, which Tamer forgets is his turn, but is able to knock out a few questions during the course of the podcast...</p>

<p>The team are also looking at implementing the forum for the site. Please do let us know if you're interested in this. You can let us know over at Twitter (@CheckpointMzine), this will be done over the coming weeks. </p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/checkpointmagazine" rel="payment">Support Checkpoint Magazine Podcast</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Jake and Tamer explore what it is that makes horror games horrific. As they meander through their definitions and the games they've played, it dawns on them that they probably aren't the most experienced in this particular genre.</p>

<p>Tamer runs through the games he's played, Jake discuses games he'd like to play and the Nintendo Switch comes up again! This time with a lovely story which you can find more about if you click <a href="http://bit.ly/2Vf5t7I" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<p>Also, for more information on Lewis Carrol and Alice in Wonderland blunder, please refer to <a href="http://bit.ly/2VcQ47N" rel="nofollow">Snopes</a>...</p>

<p>Finally, there's the quiz, which causes as much contention as you'd expect.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Jake and Tamer explore what it is that makes horror games horrific. As they meander through their definitions and the games they've played, it dawns on them that they probably aren't the most experienced in this particular genre.</p>

<p>Tamer runs through the games he's played, Jake discuses games he'd like to play and the Nintendo Switch comes up again! This time with a lovely story which you can find more about if you click <a href="http://bit.ly/2Vf5t7I" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

<p>Also, for more information on Lewis Carrol and Alice in Wonderland blunder, please refer to <a href="http://bit.ly/2VcQ47N" rel="nofollow">Snopes</a>...</p>

<p>Finally, there's the quiz, which causes as much contention as you'd expect.</p>

<p>They also talk briefly about Far Cry New Dawn, promising to play it together online, which they do!

<p>They also talk about help in games, with Tamer specifically pointing to Terry Pratchett and his impact as a modder, with a lovely story about an in-game helper that helped him navigate the gaming world as his alzheimers got progressively worse.
