Topic (39:45) *SPOILER-FREE*
This entire segment is spoiler-free because Animal Crossing doesn't really have a story to spoil.
Animal Crossing is a game that, at first glance, one would not be judged for thinking it's a goofy doll-house style game. But through a deeper inspection, you find a game that teaches basic fundamental principles for success as an adult such as managing finances, giving back to your community, and fostering relationships. Logan and Wesley discuss these themes, as well as the Biblical parallels.
