When Games Get Too Real

Solomon Williams and Dave Kropf Episode 38

In this episode, Dave and Sol discuss the entwined realms of online gaming and real-life friendships. Can a game become too real, a virtual friendship as poignant as its physical counterpart? Can the lines blur, leading to unexpected drama, or can they reinforce bonds, making them stronger than ever? 

From the heady days of Counter-Strike and Diablo to the intricate social dynamics of World of Warcraft guilds, they ponder on the weight of virtual relationships and how they can impact our real-world connections.
