Evoking the Sublime is a monthly podcast hosted by Shea, a member of Sword Chomp. The aim is to provide an auditory account of the history and creation of one video game per episode with a mixture of a recanting of history paired with interviews.
I am so happy to announce that Evoking the Sublime has returned! Yes, season 2 has started and it feels so good.
In this first episode of 3, I sat down to talk about the history and creation of a video game 20+ years in the making: Streets of Rage 4.
I was joined by Ben Fiquet, art and creative director over at Lizardcube Games.

Episode 6 of Evoking the Sublime is here! The topic of this episode is centered around The Walking Dead series created by Telltale Games. Four main seasons, one extra episode, and a side season, there was plenty of material to cover. A series that started out as revitalizing the text-based genre of video gaming, it has ended in a far different destination. Take the journey as we delve into the finer details of each season of The Walking Dead.
Welcome to episode 5 of Evoking the Sublime! The topic of this episode is the excellent Bastion, Supergiant’s first game. Action and adventure awaits the player as they enter a world ravaged by the Calamity. They control the Kid and attempt to figure out how to pick up the pieces of the disrupted world. The episode is also graced with Greg Kasavin, writer for Supergiant Games. Come enter the world of Bastion.
Episode 4 is here! On this episode of Evoking the Sublime, we discuss the creation and history of the Diablo-inspired action loot game Torchlight. Beautiful and light-hearted yet gritty and brutal, Torchlight was a game that attempted to take the action loot game and make it less dismal looking. Enjoy the newest episode, and don’t forget to share the love with a friend!
