Welcome to Pixels and Paragraphs, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is the bonus show, where you get to hear me, Darren Hupke, interview some of the raddest writers behind the greatest gaming books. Each episode, you’ll get to hear from a new guest as they discuss their book, talk about their process, share some details from behind the keys, and more! Whether you’re a fan of the book already or want to find something new to read, I hope you’ll find something to enjoy about what we discuss today! This week’s guest is…Nate Drake, writer of the upcoming I Am Not Good: The History of Cheating in Video Games.For generations of players, cheat codes were a secret handshake. A gateway to extra lives, godlike powers, and hidden worlds. But behind every cheat lies a story of creativity, rebellion, and the ever-shifting line between play and power.I Am Not Good: The History of Cheating in Video Games takes readers on a journey through the evolution of video game cheats, from the days of secret developer codes and the legendary Konami Code, to the Game Genie, god mode glory, and the wild rise of online cheat communities.Written by Nate DrakeEdited by Riley MacLeodForeword by Mia ConsalvoCover by Greg MeloPRE-ORDER LINK:https://retrogamebooks.com/products/i-am-not-good-the-history-of-cheating-in-video-games----------------Show credits:Ry-Spirit designed the logo (I modified it) - Instagram - @ryspiritart - https://www.deviantart.com/ry-spiritI created the music.----------------Find out more about the Sound Stone Network and discover more great podcasts at:soundstone.network----------------Shop the Pixels and Polygons store to buy all my books and merch!
