On BAD END 67, we seek out the "magic of videogames" in the cards of Legends of Runeterra, a poetic take on the USA in the form of Kentucky Route Zero, and the planetary exploration of Outer Wilds.
dramatic voice Wherein lies the magic of videogames? Is it in the understated brilliance of Kentucky Route Zero? Is it in the schoolyard fantasies of Magic: The Gathering brought to digital life? Is it on The Beach being snatched up by the beak of a seagull? Or is it somewhere else? Join us on BAD END 67 as we attempt to find the answer in an unlikely place.
