Announcement & A Crossover: Violence & Video Games - Leveling Duo

Brother Knows Quest

This week on Leveling Duo, it's a special crossover episode with our friends from Horrific History & Hauntings! Beth joins Dakota for a chilling exploration of a topic that's haunted gamers and parents for decades: the accusations of video games causing violence and harm.

From pixelated panic to real-world rampages, Beth dives into the history of these controversies, dissecting infamous cases and examining the research behind the claims. Dakota, meanwhile, offers a gamer's perspective, sharing his own experiences and questioning the simplistic narratives often spun by critics.

Together, they navigate the complex relationship between virtual worlds and our very real anxieties. Can pixels push us towards violence? Do certain games deserve the blame? And is there a darker truth lurking beneath the surface of these accusations?

Join us for a Leveling Duo unlike any other as we confront the shadows cast by video games, uncover the chilling facts, and ultimately ask: are we afraid of the monsters on the screen, or the monsters within ourselves?
