Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about horses and other mounts in video games. Giddy-up!
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere you want. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
The Topic
Why do games have horses? What makes a good video game horse? What are some of the common things that video games get wrong about horses? Why are horses such freaks of nature (affectionate) in the first place? What are some other mounts that appear in games and work like horses?
The Actual Discussion
We talk about our own experiences with horses, both in real life and in video games. Honestly, neither of us have very much! We look to the expertise of true horse girls to evaluate successful and unsuccessful horses. We identify game genres that should exist – where have all the good horse raising sims gone? Plus, where are all the Pegasi?
