Play of the Light returns with a discussion on the fundamental differences between solitaire and multiplayer video games, and interesting recent developments in the multiplayer space.
Topics include Jason’s history with MUDs and current obsession with Hero Academy, how Matt’s dislike of Settlers of Catan led to lost job opportunities, that time we played Johann Sebastian Joust on the subway, what Glitch Tank teaches us about how machines play games, and more.
