Intimates: The digital animal kingdom

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a 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, Luke and Lise talk about all the wondrous best friends you can have in video games when you bring the animal kingdom to the party. From companions and mounts to simulators there is something about an animal in a video game that has an innate effect on our enjoyment of the game, why is that?

Giving a 1-UP to diversity in gaming.
