Every Game in This City

An @IdleThumbs podcast about playing well together! In Season 2 we go to Shanghai to try and watch every game of the Dota 2 International Championship in 2019!

[Every Game in This City @everygameinthis]

For Season 2 of https://t.co/xPJCuOmKB6 eight game designers, researchers, journalists, and curators met up in Shanghai to try and watch every match of the International Dota 2 Championship! Find us on the @IdleThumbs Network where we'll be releasing episodes every Friday!

No episode of https://t.co/xPJCuOmKB6 this week!

We're taking a bit of a holiday break (while working on translating an hour long Chinese interview for Episode 208!)

The final episodes of our story will air in the new year!🎄🧧❄️

We're back with https://t.co/xPJCuOmKB6 207!

From cheers and jeers during PSG.LGD vs OG inside the stadium 🙊 to bartering for blind boxes and swag bags outside the stadium 🙈, in this episode @ybika helps us make sense of some serious monkey business 🙉

We are not messing around with these references

[Every Game in This City @everygameinthis]

There's a new episode of https://t.co/xPJCuOmKB6 where we ask the perennial question: is #Dota an ⚔️ARTS⚔️ or an 🎨art🎨?

Outside The International #TI9, we encounter esports as art and art as esports at the UN Art Center and How Art Museum in Shanghai!

@JohnnyPanadol Hey thanks for the heads up—fixed! (Though it might take a second to populate.)

[Every Game in This City @everygameinthis]

🎙NEW https://t.co/gMztbXR6wr🎙

The whole cast is back in one room to talk about how we each played at #TI9—from arenas and arcades to malls and night cafes!

AND in the back half, @Kipspul joins us to talk about her work as a #Dota2 analyst and coach!

As one of our experts on escape rooms, it's a real treat to hear how @LeeShangLun navigates something like #Dota2 for the first time.

His leap from watching esports to interviewing people around Dota to making trivia/bar games (soon™) is so inspirational to me as a designer.

@LeeShangLun @dchameleon @TrentPax @SirActionSlacks @IceFrog This...is a wild one 🍕👖

[Every Game in This City @everygameinthis]

It's time for 🎙Shang Lun's Late Game🎙, the episode of https://t.co/xPJCuOmKB6 where @LeeShangLun finds his way onto a #Dota2 talkshow at #TI9 and interviews a slew of cast and crew—from @dchameleon and @TrentPax to @SirActionSlacks and @IceFrog???

@GhostTownGoldie @MrChad And I love this moment where @william_partin and @UpperCaveMan000 are almost "Hoodwinked" by @LeeShangLun's ad hoc escape room puzzle!

Did you miss our Melbourne International Games Week panel when it was on Steam last week? No worries! You can watch the whole thing on YouTube! #MIGW21 https://t.co/Bg2iYP0HYr

Still get a good laugh every time I watch @GhostTownGoldie muse about "Dark Pattern" (to @MrChad's chagrin)!
