    Jacob Geller makes Intestines for Caesar

    Jacob Geller, a writer who happens to be known for his video essays, joins Jenna to craft up a game based on the prompts:
    sloppy, Ides of March, fortunetelling
    The resulting game is, as you might expect given the sources, a really thought-provoking interrogation of game structures and player-interaction, while also being a hilarious game where you try to make people stab their boss. So what if their boss is Julius Caesar? This game as it all: Pathos! Intrigue! Intestines!

    Jacob Burgess makes The Musical: Opening Night Rat Heist

    Voice actor and game dev Jacob Burgess joins the pod to crack the exceptionally difficult line up of:
    musical, game within a game, twin stick shooter This off-off-off Broadway production company has suffered from more internal drama than is in the script for Les Rizz! And to make matters worse, a swarm of rats has descended on the premises. But as it turns out, a mass of agile, invested rodents might be just the thing this community theater needs to pull off the big show.

Wish I could have told you how good it was in person

I actually met Jenna very briefly at ECCC this year before I knew about BGH, and now I’m mad I didn’t know how much I’d like it. I later heard about the show from Jacob Andrews on a stream VOD and proceeded to binge the whole thing. This show is exactly the absurd, sometimes weirdly heartfelt jam I needed this year, and I’m going to insinuate it into car rides with my friends so they get addicted too.

Great concept

I didn’t know this was the show I needed but it’s so fun. Love the creativity that comes through unconventional thinking and the amazing game ideas that come out of it

Walrusman01 ,

A new favorite

Waiting for Garfodot changed me in profound ways, #art if I’ve ever seen it
