This week on the Rocket Punch Cast, we throw our hats into the discussion on accessibility in gaming. With the recent debates originating from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Will and Cameron sit and talk about the difference between difficulty in gaming and accessibility in gaming. What are some of those differences, and why do we get confused between the two when bringing them up? Plus, how can we make gaming more accessible to people who cannot play easily? Plus, we go over the recent article from Kotaku about the troubles with Anthem and its development, and give our thoughts on the revelations revealed, all while discussing whether Anthem can pull itself out of the hole it has dug itself into. All this, plus talk about the next Assassin's Creed game, details on Borderlands 3, and more await!

As fans of geek and gaming content, one of the most fantastic events that we feel we get to participate in are conventions. Yes, there have been conventions WAY before our crowd started hosting them, but it has always been great to get out from behind our mics, and experience this culture with other like-minded people at large venues each and every year, all while checking out the latest and greatest in games, movies, TV, and more and meeting the actors and entertainers who help make those creations possible. We at Rocket Punch have been to a multitude of conventions since we have started, including BlizzCon, PAX, DragonCon, and more, but one that we have been especially fond of is one home grown right here in our hometown of Huntsville, AL. So when we were given the chance to talk to the creator of this local con, we couldn’t pass up the chance!
On this episode of Creator Spotlight, we sit and chat with Jeremy Long, the creator and showrunner of the Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo, a convention run from the Von Braun Center here in Huntsville that showcases and celebrates some of the best in comic, pop culture, and gaming entertainment that we have come to grow up with and love. In the interview, we talk with Jeremy about (literally) EVERYTHING that will be at the show this year, including new events, special guests, and more, to make sure that attendees are fully prepared for the awesome entertainment waiting for them once the doors fly open. Afterwards, we also discuss with Jeremy the work that goes into making the Expo each year, and talk about his motivations for starting the Expo on his own and with little to no experience in running a convention, to some of the successes and hurdles he has run into in getting started, and even how he manages to balance the efforts of putting on such a large show while also taking care of the priorities in his personal life. Plus, we get to drill Jeremy on some of his favorite guests from past shows, who he would love to see attend as guests, and what he hopes to achieve with the Expo in the future. If you are looking to attend the Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo this year, or if you are interested to learn about the work that goes into starting a convention, then be sure to listen to what is likely one of our longest episodes so that you don’t miss a thing on the show floor!
One aspect of becoming content creators, especially within the last few years, has been the numerous opportunities we have discovered for charitable efforts one can help support. Yes, we do participate in Extra Life every year, but as we have continued to make podcasts and videos for the community, we have also found MANY more noble endeavors from others working to assist people in need with the power of gaming, community, and more, and it has been one of our big pushes to help in any way we can with these efforts. But one of the many perceptions we had, as we also saw with others on the internet, with supporting charities was that we thought we had to be big creators ourselves to truly make an impact, and after learning more about all of the many institutes available to assist, their processes, and especially after this Creator Spotlight, we have realized that anyone big or small, can work with these companies to help support their causes, so that is exactly what we did!
in this episode of Creator Spotlight, we at Rocket Punch were very lucky to chat with Katherine Waddell, also known as Kat Dell, the Promotions Manager for 1UpOnCancer, a gaming community-based non-profit organization dedicated to direct financial assistance for adults in the United States undergoing cancer treatment. In the interview, we talk with Kat about 1UpOnCancer, discussing how the group works to help support people all across the US, and dig deeper into her motivations for becoming a volunteer and supporting their endeavors, as well as chatting about why groups like 1UpOnCancer and other charitable organizations are so important and vital for people across the world to pay attention to and support in any way they can, and how anyone, even listeners like yourselves, can do their part to help. Plus, as an avid Twitch streamer, we discuss the content that Kat makes in her spare, and talk about some of the challenges she has come across in the streaming space, and how streaming and her personal experiences helped her discover 1UpOnCancer and motivate her to support the cause. If you have ever been interested in discovering how you can help support a great and worthy cause, then be sure to listen to this episode and find out what you can do to make a monumental impact for those people in need!
This week on the Rocket Punch Cast, Will and Cam group up to have an honest discussion about their first impressions with Anthem, the latest game from Bioware. With the multitude of mixed feelings over the internet on the title's release, the team talk about what Bioware got right and what they got wrong with their game, and give their impressions on how they are feeling with it so far. Plus, with the recent announcement of Reggis Fils-Aime leaving Nintendo, the team talk about their favorite memories of his tenure there, and also whether this will impact Nintendo in the future. All this, plus talk on the future of Xbox, Google's plans at GDC, and more!

Cameron has had some face-time with the game, and discusses his impressions with Will on how he feels with the game so far, but this also opens up an interesting discussion: Do games need to be more realistic to be enjoyable? The crew talks about the game and whether more lifelike games need to exist or if more relaxed and “game-like” titles are the better options for everyone. All this, plus TONS of news talk including Microsoft bringing Game Pass to PC, Resident Evil coming to Nintendo Switch, the September 2018 NPD results, and a whole lot more!

In 2018, content creation has seen an incredible boon, with sites like YouTube and Twitch becoming more prolific for everyone to access entertainment with the swipe of a finger, and technology becoming easier for creatives to use and reach more people across the globe faster than ever before. It should come as no surprise to us then, that with this expansion into content creation, people far and wide work harder than ever to use this to turn their passion into a lifelong career. But, the reality is that an extremely small number of those creatives actually obtain that ultimate goal. Regardless, thousands of people continue to create, sometimes tirelessly, to talk passionately about their prospects, entertain numerous individuals across the internet, and learn whatever they can to reach their goals. While only a few creators get the chance to utilize their work as a career, we here at Rocket Punch were lucky enough to sit and chat with someone getting that chance of a lifetime.
In this edition of Creator Spotlight, we get the opportunity to converse with Pete, the creator of Gaming Careers, a Youtube channel looking to help prospective content creators “Grow Your Gaming Passion Into Your Profession” through tutorial videos on how to make your Twitch, Youtube, and other content the best that it can be. In this interview, we learn more about how Pete came up with the idea and why he started Gaming Careers, how his expectations were blown away on the response to his content, and how his thriving community has given him the chance to be able to work on his channel full-time, a dream that many content creators, including us here at Rocket Punch, work towards everyday. Also, we discuss his reactions to creating such a vibrant community of engaged followers, some of the successes, stumbles, and lessons learned he has taken away from building Gaming Careers, the challenges he went through making the decision of working on Gaming Careers full-time, his goals for the channel and his content for the future, and much, much more. This episode hits a little close to home here at Rocket Punch, so if you are an aspiring content creator, this is one discussion you don’t want to miss!

Everyone enjoys art, in some form or fashion. One of the greatest things about art, and artists in return, is that there is so much variety, talent, and uniqueness in it, that you can never see the same piece twice. A great example of where we see that is in comics, which have such talented artists working to draw and make vibrant and visual stories, that we at Rocket Punch just can’t help ourselves when we run into a new artist and comics that we have yet to see. We have interviewed many artists on Creator Spotlight, and one of those reasons is that each one brings their unique take onto their work, and the comic Atom Bug, from creator Michael Mauro, is no exception to this rule!
This episode, we sit down with Michael Mauro, the creator of the digital web comic Atom Bug, and a local artist to Huntsville, AL, to talk about his work and everything he has put into it, and in turn, learned from his experiences so far. In this interview, we learn more about where Michael came up with the idea for Atom Bug, the work that he placed into creating the lore and appearance for the comic, and why his action-packed hero stands out among the other comic creators out there. Plus, we also get the chance to talk with Michael about some of the tools and processes that he utilizes to get the characters from his imagination to the digital page, some of the hurdles he has run into during this journey, and where he plans and hopes to talk Atom Bug in the future. Sit back and relax to learn more about Michael and Atom Bug in this latest episode of Creator Spotlight!

This week, we check in on Nintendo and see how they are doing! First up, we do a quick run through of the latest Nintendo Direct, and talk about what games caught our eye, and what failed to impress. Then, we deep dive into the company and discuss some of their recent decisions with cloud save, services, and more, and ask ourselves why Nintendo seems to be hit-or-miss with some of their decisions on their consoles. Is it a good idea for them to stand apart from the rest of the industry in some of their tactics? All this, plus our impressions on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed's post-launch strategy, and more await!

PuddleGate is here! But is it something we REALLY need to be mad about? This week, The Rocket Punch crew chat about the latest allegations on games being "downgraded" from previous trailers at game shows, and talk about how developers go from creating teaser trailers to the final product. Why do people feel as though some games don't look as good as when they were revealed? Should this be a good practice for developers to continue when making their games? Should gamers be justified when talking about it? Plus, Cameron gives his thoughts on the extended demo of Cyberpunk 2077, Will gushes about returning to Lumines, the team talk about the Xbox All-Access plan from Microsoft, and more!

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct has come and gone, and the Rocket Punch crew are curious as to what this means now and in the future for the popular fighting game from Nintendo! This week, the crew talk about the culture surrounding Smash, and how different it is from other games in its genre. Why does Smash feel so different from other fighters? Could the game become a platform in the future instead of a standalone title? Will they EVER get rid of the Gamecube controller support? WE talk about this and more, including impressions from the Red Dead Redemption 2 and DOOM Eternal gameplay trailers, Discord adding a storefront to its resume, and more!

Cafes are usually a norm around the United States and the world nowadays. We always imagine them as hotspots for social activity, where one can go in with their laptop computer, grab a fresh cappuccino, and relax while working or talking with others around the cafe. But what does a "Gamers' Cafe" look like? That's what the Rocket Punch crew went to find out in this edition of Creator Spotlight!
This episode, we head up to Nashville, TN, to talk to Luke Sykes and Aidan Jones, the two entrepreneurs running the Gamers' Cafe called PLATFORMS. Luke and Aidan are starting this business to help grow the gaming community in Nashville, and created the space to allow people of all types to come in, enjoy and experience all forms of games, socialize, and have fun! With everything from cutting edge VR setups, state-of-the-art top end gaming rigs, large 4K TVs, the latest gaming consoles, and more littered throughout the space, there was NO way we at Rocket Punch could pass up a chance to visit PLATFORMS and talk to Luke and Aidan about their budding business. In this interview, we sit down with both Luke and Aidan and chat about how they came up with the idea for this cafe, their push for making VR a large part of the business, their goals to make PLATFORMS a social hub for gamers, and more, including some of the lessons learned from being first-time business owners and starting this endeavor and what they hope to achieve in the long term. Ever thought about what it takes to start a business that could be considered a "Gamers' Haven"? Then, make sure you do not miss this episode!
This week on the Rocket Punch Cast, the crew sit and have some tough talk about a difficult topic. Checking the latest news about the fake Fortnite article from a UK tabloid reported by Eurogamer, Cameron and Chris do their best to talk a bit about mental health in the gaming space. From how games have discussed this topic, to how media and other outlets talk about it in regards to gaming, the crew tread as best as they can through this challenging, but necessary conversation. Plus, the crew pick which games they would like to see as board games, Cameron has a tale to tell about getting chased by the Space Police in No Man's Sky, Chris talks about his recent birthday present, and more!

You tend to get a lot of second chances in life, but what about in game development? This week on the Rocket Punch Cast, the crew sit and talk about the upcoming release of No Man's Sky NEXT, and discuss why it feels so challenging for game creators to earn a second chance with their games when mistakes are made. Are gamers being too critical and unforgiving when these missteps are noticed from developers? Why are some developers given slack with bugs and glitches in the games? Can goodwill from a developer truly help with getting that second chance? Find out the crew's thoughts on this, plus discussions on recent announcements from San Diego Comic Con, Octopath Traveler, and more!

Welcome back to Creator Spotlight, where we sit down with creatives within the geek and gaming spaces and talk about what they how, how they do it, and tips for others to motivate others to do their own creative projects! It's has been a little while, but we here at Rocket Punch decided to make a few changes to the format of Creator Spotlight, the first of which is that episodes going forward will be integrated into the Rocket Punch Cast feed, so that more listeners can enjoy all the awesome interviews that we do! We have also expanded the interview format, which allows us to talk about more and dig deeper with the creatives we talk to, in order to provide you a better experience when we feature them. As always, keep sending us feedback to let us know how we are doing!
The great thing about art is that it is extremely expressive; there are so many varieties and differences out there in the world that you'll never see the same piece twice. Plus, you can also look at art and see the motivations, experiences, and influences the artist applied to their work, which deepens their pieces. So, when we came across the work from Peter Lucker (pronounced "l-oo-ker"), aka FLOAT, in Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment Building in Huntsville, AL, we just couldn't pass on the chance to have him in to the studio to talk to us on the podcast! FLOAT, formerly out of Atlanta, GA, now lives and works in Huntsville, AL, making some incredible pieces at Lowe Mill and commissions for other customers. Having a hard time sitting still, he is always trying out new ways to create, and being self taught, he is always exploring new techniques and expanding his skill set into new avenues. Specializing in stenciling, FLOAT has learned to blend that in conjunction with free hand painting to create his finished pieces for people enthralled by his artwork. Using cartoons, comics, Sci-fiction, fantasy, graffiti and street art as inspiration, FLOAT has been bringing his own spin to canvas painting, custom collectables, murals, furniture refurbishing, sticker/t-shirt design, logo design, and more. Join us as we chat with FLOAT about how he got his start in the artistic world, where he came up with his specific stylistic art, as well as discussing his experiences creating art within a large tech and engineering-minded city such as Huntsville, some successes and struggles he has had as an artist, the hurdles that come with creating your own small business, and more!

Now that we have crossed the halfway point for 2018, it's time for the Rocket Punch crew to check in on the status of gaming so far this year! This week, Cam and Chris sift through the games that have released so far this year, and talk about which ones have what it takes to stay in the race for Game of the Year discussions. Whether for the big prize, or for accolades of any kind, the crew discuss which titles still have what it takes to sit at the top of the pile, especially with heavy hitters coming later this year. All this, plus Chris's continued thoughts on The Last of Us as a first timer, Cameron's experience with the new hero in Overwatch, some "technical difficulties", and more!

Somehow, Cameron made his way out of the Shadow Realm to return to the Rocket Punch studios, so now the crew is back to FULL POWER! This week, the crew discusses the state of the Nintendo Switch 2 months later, and what the future possibly holds for the popular (currently) console. Will we get some new, fresh games this year, or should we expect more ports from the Wii U library? What does the announcement of the Nintendo 2DS XL mean for the Switch's plans overall? Plus, will Nintendo be able to keep the sales numbers high for the console (assuming the make enough stock...)? These questions are answered this week, along with some impressions on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Persona 5, and more on this week's episode!

Call of Duty returns to its WWII roots this year with the reveal of Call of Duty WWII. We discuss this play, and debate whether it's a good move for the franchise.
Speaking of good moves, Nintendo seems disinterested in making any of those. They announced this week that the NES Classic is now discontinued. We discuss this absurd move, and why Nintendo would do such a thing at the height of it's popularity. Rumors also give way that a Super NES Classic is on the way, so of course we list what games we want to see on it too.

Hello Games has finally broken their silence about No Man's Sky, and brought along some new updates and plans along for the ride, but is it too little, too late for gamers? This week in the Rocket Punch Cast, the crew discusses Hello Games and their plans, and look at the bigger picture of how we as gamers are interacting with developers. Are we justified in our comments to devs when good or bad things happen? Are there better ways to go about it? Plus, the crew talks about what they expect at the Video Game Awards and PlayStation Experience, everyone continues to gush over Pokemon Sun and Moon, Will shows his sister the ropes in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, and more! Don't miss out!

Where do your allegiances lie? Team Rowlet? Team Litten? Team Popplio? You can only choose one, but it's up to you to decide which is best. We discuss all things Pokemon Sun and Moon in this week's Rocket Punch Cast! We also dive into EA's big decision to make things more transparent for sponsored streamers. We also decide which Bethesda open world series we like best, Fallout or Elder Scrolls!
We've got an all new format for the Rocket Punch cast! We're going to highlight interesting topics based on interesting things in gaming this week! We dive straight into the new format with our thoughts on the NES Classic Edition debacle. We also reflect on the Mass Effect: Andromeda launch trailer, plus we share what we want from the game.

While we're all casting our votes for villains anyways, we discuss which video game/anime villains we would want to rule the world. We also react to Bethesda's pre-release game policy, and we mourn the passing of Vine. We finally get a date for the full Nintendo Switch announcement, and we get E-Sports while we react to the League of Legends world championship. Fire up the bass cannon, and prepare to fire. It's time for the Rocket Punch Cast!
