What is Dysentery? (Video Games, Nostalgia, & Storytelling)
Video games have been around for decades, so many of us have nostalgic memories of the family Atari or Nintendo. On the latest episode, the Distracted Librarians discuss their own experiences with video games - from childhood 8-bit games to modern online multiplayer games (and everything in between) - as well as some of the unique storytelling capabilities that video games have.
