I Need Healing! || Podcast Episode 82 || Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Doom, Civilization, Fortnite
Join our resident doctors, (Disclaimer: No one on this podcast is a medical professional.) AMKomnenos, Banana, and Legion as they dive into the world of the white mage and discuss healing in video games. They take a look at the various ways video games have tried to reconcile the time-sensitive need of video games with the slow, drawn-out process of healing (especially for these old guys). Do we want realism in games when it comes to healing, or are we willing to accept a deus ex machina for the sake of keeping the pace?
