This month I finish up my series looking at video games that transcended their genres, and in this episode I'll be digging into the most famous video game heroine of them all...Lara Croft! We'll check out how she was created, how she took over the world, and how she still inspires today. Plus, Michaela drops by to help me craft a cocktail in Tomb Raiders honor!

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.
