Checkpoint Intimates: The Romance Conversation

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a new weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

This week, Archer is joined by special guest Liam Esler, who has a little bit of experience when it comes to romance in video games. Liam looks at things from the perspective of someone who has actually written scripts for video games before, so the boys deep dive into the topic, discussing the importance of romance, what works, what doesn’t, LGBT representation and more. Don’t miss this very special intimate podcast.
