Episode 224: Stopped at the Gates of Moscow

Recommended Posts

A show like the Wire is brilliant at showing the viewer these personal tragedies that occurs due to larger impersonal, macroeconomic and social forces. I haven't seen anything like that in a game, and it would be cool to see, but I tend to view these different scopes as complementary to understanding the world at large rather than as one being the right way to portray events, and the other as the wrong way.

I haven't tried it, but it puts you in the role of a border guard/customs officer in a small autocratic country.  It sounds like what you're looking for.  Also (similarly) Cart Life: http://www.richardhofmeier.com/cartlife/

Will someone please correct the audio file on this episode? It is currently pointing to the Brave New World episode on the website and the podcast feed.
