Podcast 25 – Mass Characterization


Part 2 of our Black History Month podcast. I get together with Jeff, Raph, and Marcellus to talk some ish about black characters in games. We go across a wide variety of games and mostly complain about Japanese characterizations. Of course, we get into Native Americans, Asians, and wonder whether or not Abobo is Filipino.
