Episode 3: "Dissecting the Bandernatch With a Vorpal Sword" Panel
In this episode, we share a recording of the "Dissecting the Bandernatch With a Vorpal Sword" panel from NarraScope 2019. It featured Heather Albano, Mary Duffy, Jason Stevan Hill, Emily Short, and Ian Thomas. (Video recording here.)
Following the panel, we discuss Bandernatch and its connection to other games and notable NPC interactions including the character Jericho from Fallout 3, the history of the Satellaview for the Famicom, and The Blackout Club.
We close this episode discussing games we have been playing such as Majestic Quest, Slenderman: The Arrival, Guildings, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Pokemon Sword and Shield, The House in Fata Morgana, and how the epistolary novel has become the exposition device of most modern video games through e-mails and audio logs. "Genres don't die. They just go underground."
