Horses (With Alice Ruppert)

After a first episode that delved into the darkest recesses of men’s hearts, it’s time for something a little lighter: horses, aka man’s best friend if we’re not counting dogs. They’re everywhere – in society and in media. We can all at least sort of draw one. And yet, some major games still fail to stick the landing when it comes to basics like legs. Legs! That’s the first thing you notice about a horse. How and why is this happening? And what are game makers choosing to focus on instead? In this episode, video game horse consultant Alice Ruppert answers those questions and more. And don’t worry: We spend plenty of time talking about the hyperrealistic horse testicles in Red Dead Redemption 2 – although, spoiler alert, it turns out that even those are not as accurate as originally advertised!
