News & Views
8/27/16-9/2/16

Hey you! Yeah you. I hope you’re having a good day. If not, why not try hanging out here for a bit? I think you will feel a bit better after that. We love everyone here on The Impact Factor.

News & Views collects the week’s best writing about video games and puts it into one convenient place. Check out the links below for stories about Pokémon’s relationship with moral crises, how joy is more ‘adult’ than violence, gamedev in a world in which Super Mario Bros. exists, and an awesome story about how a group of dedicated gamers found (and unlocked) a super hidden secret boss.

And of course please check out the brand new episode of The Impact Factor podcast that was posted today! You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, or if you prefer other methods, check out our SoundCloud. We’re on YouTube too!
