The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 28: Meta Gear Solid

What do we mean when we talk about metagaming and meta-games? In this episode, Nate, Samantha, and Luis do their best not to get lost in the hall of mirrors as they think through various types of self-referential games, covering everything from product tie-ins and Fortnite (it's bigger on the inside) to critical hits like Inscryption, The Stanley Parable, and There Is No Game. Are self-referential games goofy or terrifying? Is there something inherently "smart" about meta-games? Listen in and see for yourself. Along the way, we eat the raw noodles in Undertale and try to figure out who was asking for King K. Rool to be in Super Smash Bros. Join us next month for the game about the podcast about the podcast about the game.
