In this week's episode Simon, Chris and Joe talk about how science is portrayed and mimicked in videogames.  We talk about our videogame histories, and why exploding red barrels are stupid, why fall damage is a real thing (but you should break your legs and spine a lot more in Spiderman games), and Joe gets mildly aroused by the idea of tyre physics in racing game being so accurate.
