Keep Hitting that Q!
Valerie and Susan dive into The Wolf Among Us, a gritty detective game set in a sordid world of fallen fairytales. Strippers, severed heads, glamours, and moral choices—plus the pros, cons (and stress) of sharing a story across generations, one quicktime event at a time. Updates on cats and bras, and some well-earned smugness about ribbons that work like ripcords. We know our scary fairy tales—all the good moms make sure of it.

Dragon’s Lair
- I am incorrect – Atari’s home console was released in 1977, while Dragon’s Lair hit arcades in 1983. But taking a broader view: penny arcades had been around since the early 1900s, offering mechanical amusements long before video games entered the picture. The first actual video arcade game, Computer Space, was released in 1971 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, who would later found Atari. So yes, arcades do predate home consoles by a bit—but they both became mainstream around the same time in the late ’70s and early ’80s. And of course, it took some time before home systems could match the visual and technical sophistication of what arcade cabinets could offer.
