In this video I explore the many ways video games interact with, communicate, and gamify pain.

From the heads up display, to the controller, to the combat, to the animations and acting, games have many ways to try and emulate pain. I also explain how the brain and the body create the sensation of pain in real life, and the fascinating medical conditions that defy our understanding of pain. I also detail how some games like The Last of Us Part 2 and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons emulate emotional pain in their own ways.
A special thank you to my friends and family for sharing their voices and their stories for this video.
