Shawn mentioned it, but VR really has your back (assuming you have access to VR, of course), both on the visiting moons aspect , and the internal body aspect.
Admittedly, those are all more edutainment than actual games, but still....
It's going back a little ways, but Microbot on 360 XBLA was a twin stick shooter set inside the human body.
You've never known true joy until you've shaken a lich stick at someone.
I kept picturing an adaptation of something like Fantastic Voyage or Innerspace during that discussion.
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

I've gotten significantly farther into DQ11 since we recorded, so I'd like to update my early reactions with the following hot take:

What was the name/author of the fantasy series mentioned written by an archaeologist? Sounded interesting.
Jeff
Malazan Book of The Fallen is the series! Steven Erikson.

The chat about wishing away the fighting in Battlefield to be able to explore the environments free from pressure reminded me of this PC Gamer article by Sam Greer about exactly that: How modders are removing enemies from games to create stress-free experiences.
I did this recently in the original DOOM. I turned off the enemies and wandered about a level admiring the architecture like a little lost tourist on Mars.
I write about games and make cool things at Split Screen. One time I made a GWJ Infographic about EU IV.
What's the name of the choose your own adventure romance book mentioned on the show? Sounds like the perfect stocking stuffer.
I KISS YOU!
Head's Up: Did a short write-up on some of the games I tried at PAX West that was mentioned on this show.
Sorry I missed this earlier. The book is called "My Lady's Choosing." It's marvelous.

It's a selfish thing, but I want a couple of games set in modern Australia. No Mad Max jokes pls.
