Winning Sometimes
We're three friends that met through online video games and now share our passion for all things games, tech, and fun with our audience. Music: Powerup by Jeremy Blake
It's been a while since we've last published an episode but we're back with a brand new episode of being nerds and not being able to stay on subject. Curious where we went over the past 9 months? Us too! Tune in and find out!
Welcome! This week we talk about cheese in video games...not the kind you eat. What is cheese? Is it a verb? A noun? Is it ethically and socially acceptable? What do you think?!
This discussion needs an EZ mode...this month we talk about Elden Ring and Clint rants about the skeletons in Elden Ring's closet. If Clint hates Elden Ring so much...why is he still playing???
We have very strong opinions about the best platform to game on and we definitely talk about it most of the time...definitely.
Happy New Year! We've passed a year for the podcast, so we're looking back, checking-in on each other, and looking to the future.
Welcome to episode 15 of the podcast! We've been thinking a lot about how we play games, why we play them that way, and the moments that defined our play styles. It turns out that Matt has very strong feelings about JRPGs...(warning: light FFXV spoilers in this episode).
In today's world, we spend so much time talking on the internet - Is it possible to make friends online and when you do - are they real friends? What makes a friend a friend? If you ever met up with your online friends...how would it go?
The good, the bad, and the ugly storytelling...in games. We talk about stories in games and what gets in the way of a good story, but also how games deliver stories in ways that can never be done in movies and books. What do you think makes a good story in games?
Video games can often be intimidating or challenging for new players who aren't familiar with common game mechanics or controls. Why is that? Is it worth it? How can games improve on this? Matt, Emiliano, and Clint take on the topic and share our own experiences with new players!
Have player vs player games killed single-player and co-op games? Is there any room for the classic single-player experience in this world of PvP juggernauts like Fortnite, PubG, Valorant, and Call of Duty Warzone? We hope not! Join us as we consider player dynamics in gaming today.
Open-world games are almost certainly over-done at this point. With so many video games out there these days - live services games, MMORPGs, AAA blockbusters, and a plethora of indie games - do open-world games deserve a spot in our lives?
