The Week the Medium Grew Up | TWIVGH Ep. 32 (Aug 24-30)

<p>We&#39;re covering August 24th–30th by walking straight through time, 1982 to 2022, watching the medium grow up: Richard Garriott&#39;s Ultima II, the cult classic EarthBound, the console-shooter landmark GoldenEye 007, the GTA challenger Saints Row, the rulebook-tearing Guild Wars 2, the beloved flop The Wonderful 101, and the FMV revival Immortality. Plus three deep dives: the evolution of the RPG, how the shooter came home, and the death and resurrection of full-motion video. Be sure to save your game, nerds.</p><p>Chapter Markers</p><p>00:00 -- Cold Open — &quot;Imagine it&#39;s August 24th, 1982…&quot;<br>01:29 -- Theme<br>01:46 -- Intro<br>02:56 -- Timeline Intro<br>03:26 -- Ultima II: The Revenge of Enchantress (1982)<br>04:40 -- EarthBound / Mother 2 (1994)<br>06:05 -- GoldenEye 007 (1997)<br>07:43 -- SaintsRow (2006)<br>09:05 -- Guild Wars 2 (2012)<br>10:19 -- The Wonderful 101 (2013)<br>11:52 -- Immortality (2022)<br>13:24 -- Deep Dive 1 — From Britannia to Tyria (evolution of the RPG)<br>15:01 -- Deep Dive 2 — GoldenEye and the day the shooter came home<br>16:48 -- Deep Dive 3 — FMV: the genre everyone laughed at<br>19:16 -- Outro</p><p></p>
