242: Alternate Reality Games

WE'RE LOST IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY! You know how a good movie can just suck you in? What if you actually BECAME a character. That's kind of what Alternate Reality Games (ARG's) try to do. Sometimes they're for marketing, but sometimes they're just incredibly immersive experiences. We're digging into the mini campaign for The Black Phone, as well as Stranger Things, Halo, and Nine Inch Nails' album Year Zero! OH, and TOMORROW, join us for a livestream to raise money for Planned Parenthood. It starts at 2pm est right here: https://tiltify.com/@gttupod/gttupp VIDEO VERSION HERE For full sources and links, visit http://www.gttupod.com/home/gttu242 Support GTTU on Patreon!
