Description
Minimap is your daily audio tour through the world of video games, related technologies and pop culture like comics, movies and TV. And today, it transforms into Polygon Minimap: Worldmap Edition. These special episodes include on-staff experts who not only talk about current events, but analyze and synthesize them.
Think of Worldmap Edition as the director’s commentary for Polygon.
Today, we’re joined by Jeff Ramos, who’s big into Blizzard’s new game, Overwatch. He’s playing the beta, and it’s just the latest in a long line of online multiplayers shooters. But Overwatch is special, according to Jeff. Today, he tells us why.
In the second segment of this Worldmap Edition, Phil Kollar joins us to talk about the sad and hopeful story Daniel Bryan. It’s more than that, as he and Dave do their best to explain the appeal of grown men watching grown men in their underwear pretend to fight — and why, sometimes, articles like that appear on Polygon.
