The Generational Gamers have some catching up to do because they haven't been able to hang out in a while. They spend a lot of time talking about Sea of Thieves again, but its going to be important to them hanging out. Ben has a number of things he's excited to play coming up, but Jonny can't really think of any.

Sometimes you just don't want to play your games. Figuring out what to do when you want to game but can't decide what to play. Do you have a game pallet cleanser? These are the things we discus, and then we end up off the rails.

We are drinking beer again but we are changing other things up. We have moved to a new format of playing a game that one of us normally would not be into. This week, it's Destiny 2. Hear Ben speak very intelligently about it and find out if Jonny changes his mind.
Sometimes you just want more. That's why we got together and talked about DLC. Is it good? Is it bad? Should we have to pay for it? Who knows? Definitely not us!

Ben couldn't be here so I decided to hang with Spencer Stapleton. This episode is very different because we almost never talk about games. We do talk about alligators and podcasting. Hope you enjoy us just talking about stupid stuff.

Boys will be boys, most of the time. This has become a hot topic in some video game communities. Are the Generational Gamers the right people to discuss this? Not at all, but today they do. Don't worry, they bring nothing insightful to this topic at all. Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino @deadlock_2121
Why should we buy a game before we try it out? This is the subject that the Generational Gamers Tackle this week. Going back to the days of demo discs and through the years of demos on PSN and Xbox. What's going on now? Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino @deadlock_2121
Does the story matter? Should the story be told to you or should it be something you experience? This is what the Generational Gamers dive into this week. Also, Ben's break from Destiny is over and he's hyped to be back in that world. Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
The guys finish their travels through Hyrul. This ends with the obvious discussion of Breath of the Wild. Man what a game. The biggest takeaway is just how different their journeys have been. Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
We finally dive into Jonny's favorite game franchise. The guys attempt to keep the episodes a little shorter so this is a two part discussion. The love of this franchise shows, but who knew there were so many games. (Jon did) Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
We are sorry for how long this one went, but let's be honest, it's all about Nintendo. When you are talking about the Big N, the conversation can't be short. Man... From the NES to the Switch. What a journey. If you listen to it all, thank you and enjoy!
This is a very special episode. I got to speak with Serge about collecting retro games and systems. We get into what we have, how we want to set them up, and what we need to collect next.
Some people like it hard. Jon likes it a little easier. After talking about how Destiny now sucks and Jon's collecting habit, the Generational Gamers dive into games that are hard. They look at difficulty as an option and what carrot would have to be dangled in front of Jon for him to play on the hardest difficulty. This weeks closing song: (Progeny) Of a Frail Humanity (Albert Wesker - Resident Evil series) http://ocremix.org/album/72/badass-boss-themes-volume-iii
This is might be the longest episode yet. Before the guys get into the evolution of controllers, Jon must explain to Ben why some Nintendo fans are not excited about the Switch right now.
More and more games are using emotional stories to captivate their audiences. This can be seen in the Indie games that Jonny plays or when a sunflower flashes Ben. Whether the game makes you feel for the characters, or just feel something in your pants, we all must accept that its great for video games to make you feel.

Ben asked to skip straight to episode 14, but Jon is not superstitious. Maybe Jon was wrong. The episode almost didn't happen due to a surprise work trip, but the guys pulled it off. They were able to talk about hopes for 2017 and how mobile gaming has changed for them. They got cut short, but so goes the curse of number 13.

Ben and Jon are great friends but troubled times come to the Generational Gamers. To start with, Ben gets blindsided by Jon's nickname. Furthermore, the team is divided when it comes to comes to which controller, Playstation or XBox, feels better to play with. There is one thing that they can agree on, which is that neither of them are qualified to discuss which consoles should have one the wars!
In this episode, a sickly Ben talks about Pokemon, a game Jon knows nothing about. The conversation eventually comes around to the main topic and the guys jump into their memories of the best music throughout the generations.
Jon gets to harass Ben at the beginning about why he didn't get Pokemon Sun or Moon on day one and why he hates cute animals. Once we really get into today's topic, we get to talk emulations. This way of playing games has improved drastically over the years and allowed for people to play games they wouldn't be able to play other ways. Ethical questions still remain for this style of playing, but more and more legitimate options are coming to the market. At the end of the episode, we discuss Sword Art Online, an anime cartoon about a virtual reality game. Jon is not into anime and gives a lot of opinions on this one. If you do not want to hear about an anime show, just turn us off after we sign off.
Today we get into a used game discussion. The Days of Funko Land are gone and we find outselves at the mercy of Ebay or GameStop. Beyond that, digital games are not resellable! The question is, does that matter? Contact us: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
In this episode, we discuss puzzle games and puzzles in games. Jon mentions ones that are too hard to be fun and the times he has had to use guides. Ben, like always, ties this topic to Destiny and Pokémon. We did not talk about every puzzle game because we didn't want to have a 30 hour episode. Contact us and say "Hello" generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
In this special episode, Jon has the privilege of speaking with Josh Stapleton. They talk about what Josh plays, but they really get going when they get into retro collecting. Josh was an amazing guest to have for the first special episode and helped to bring the show back around thought of Generational Gaming.

In this episode Jon gets to finally teach Ben something. Been learns the origin of the Konami Code and how it didn't work the same for every game. Discussions further with codes that range from Mortal Kombat to NBA Jam. Ben takes the reins when it comes to how cheat codes still pop up in current popular games.
In this over sized episode, Jon basically interviews Ben about RPGs. Jon throws in his own thoughts, but he and Ben disagree a lot on some of the aspects that make RPGs take the time they do.
In this episode we start our discussion of RPGs. First, we get some business out of the way and we speak about what we have been up to. It's been a while sense we last got together, so we have a lot to talk about with our own gaming. Of course, Ben gives his shout outs to Destiny and the new DLC. This is just the first part of our discussion on RPGs because we want to give this great subject the time it deserves. Contact us: @gengamepodcast @Jonny_Casino generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com
In this episode, we talk about our favorite way to game. We have just completed Affordable Space Adventure and cannot get over how amazing it was. Contact us at: generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com @gengamepodcast @jonny_casino
In this episode, the Generational Gamers discus the new consoles coming out and what that means to the average Joe gamer. Ben is not a Nintendo gamer, but he might be looking to get the NX. Contact us! @gengamepodcast generationalgamerspodcast@gmail.com
Although we are still working through audio issues, this episode we discus how first person shooters have changed throughout the generations. Ben puts on his professor hat and schools Jon on newer shooters and how the controls have changed. There is a small discussion about whether or not Jon should buy the NES Classic. We need to thank Isaac Mardis for our cover art and ocremix.org for this episode's music.

In the first episode of the Generational Gamers podcast, we explore how Mario Kart as made its way through every console and handheld generation since the SNES. We were able to play most of them right before recording and we discuss who dominated who. Enjoy! Follow us: @gengamepodcast generationalgamerspodcast@gamail.com @jonnycasino
In the introduction episode of the generational gamers you get to learn about who we are, what we are doing, and see that we are absolutely clueless!
