A Life Well Wasted | B-Side: Why Game?

by Jonathan Downin in GamesMay 29th, 2009 @ 5:10 pm

A Life Well WastedA Life Well Wasted is often pretty difficult to sum up well.  It is always more than a sum of its parts and that is again the case here, maybe even more than usual.

This is a follow-up to episode 3 where Robert asked people at GDC why they game.  He solicited answers to the same question from whoever wanted to submit.  One especially difficult and heart-wrenching story comes from Joystiq’s Justin McElroy.

It sounds like Robert may have secured some kind of funding for the show, but he is taking a month off, so this one will have to last us a while before things become more regular.

In which A Life Well Wasted goes all web 2.0 like it’s 2005. I asked listeners to submit their answers to episode 3’s central question: Why Game? Luckily, I got plenty of good material, great stories, smart comments, ridiculous stuff, sad stuff. I edited it all together into a kind of mini-episode. It’s more like the real deal than my first b-side, so give it a listen.

Runtime – 25:30
