In the second season of Drink the Video Games I'll be taking a look at classic (and modern) FMV games! In this introductory episode we look at how FMV games came into existence, what made them important, how they transformed arcades and early home computing, and mix up a Princess Daphne cocktail with Michaela from Drink the Movies to pay homage to one of the most famous of these games!

Ever wondered about the stories behind the pixelated worlds you get lost in? Drink the Video Games is for you. Host Brian, from the popular Drink the Movies, applies that same thoughtful, documentary-style approach to the realm of interactive entertainment. Each season focuses on a specific video game topic, genre, or studio, blending historical deep-dives with hands-on play. You’ll hear detailed explorations of gaming history and culture, followed by candid discussions about actually playing selected titles from that theme. And true to its name, this podcast pairs every virtual adventure with a real-world counterpart: a custom cocktail. It’s a blend of analysis, nostalgia, and casual conversation, perfect for anyone who views games as more than just a pastime. The result is a uniquely engaging listen that feels like having a great conversation with knowledgeable friends-glass in one hand, controller in the other. Tune in for a seasoned journey through the landscapes of gaming, one thoughtfully crafted episode and drink at a time.
