Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and special guests Jane Jensen (Writer/Designer of the Gabriel Knight Trilogy)) + Tyler Smith (Host of Battleship Pretension)) discuss the Gabriel Knight trilogy of computer games. A thriller writer becomes embroiled in a supernatural world that is not unlike the very novels he writes.
One of Sierra's darker franchises, the Gabriel Knight games combined the sexiness and love of historical detail of an Anne Rice novel with the gothic romance of the Hammer Horror films of the 1960s and 1970s. Characters had actual arcs. Yes, there was violence, but what's more notable is how sex is treated in an adult way in these games. Jane Jensen released a remake of the first game entitled Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition with new voice-acting without the all-star Hollywood talent of the original. Jensen now writes gay romance novels under the pen name Eli Easton with over 30 titles to her name).
