Knight Moves with Robert Houghton

Ross and Ryan are joined by Dr. Robert Houghton to talk about his new book The Middle Ages in Computer Games. They discuss the ways in which game design and mechanics reinforce historical inaccuracy, the dynamics of the church and religion in gaming, and the value of debating who would win in a fight between historical figures.
