The Big Little Games Podcast: Recent Episodes
Joel Ripka
One "big" (grown-up) and one "little" (kiddo) share their thoughts and perspectives on the games they're playing. Family-friendly and full of laughs, each week we discuss news, reviews, and previews, and more with the occasional special guest and trivia. Press Start!
This week we bring you our first-ever holiday episode, laying down some Thanksgiving truths and talking games, you know...like we do. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this Holiday episooooo-delicious.
Folks, we are taking the week off to rest and prepare for next week's special holiday episode. Thanks, as always, for listening and we look forward to stuffing your turkeys with videogame goodness.
The Little and I jump right onto the Among Us bandwagon and now we can't trust ANYONE! A quick, somewhat dismissive chat about the other console releases that have the world astir, and...other things. Odder things. Stranger things...Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Oxford Comma!
An interesting podcast, folks, interrupted by a national change of leadership...you know, run-of-the-mill stuff. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #17!
We're bringing delicious and nutritious video game goodness to counteract the cavities. It's the spookiest day of the year (and that's saying something in 2020!), but we're here chatting about the what's neat and new with Nintendo and the other guys. Stay safe, stay masked, sit back, relax and enjoy Episode #16!
The BIG MADE A WHOOPSIE! After the Little made copious edits to the podcast, the Big completely spaced and didn't post it during our regular slot, and he apologizes to fans and the Little. The good news is that you'll get to enjoy 2 episodes this week. So there. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the belated episode 15!
Coming at you with more non-sensical riffs on video games. We talk the Pikmin 3 demo, the Little returns to making some levels in Mario Maker 2. Speaking of level-makin', this kid's a coding maniac! If you wanna check out some of his cool creations: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/supermushy/
Who KNOWS what's going on in our brains this week, as we discuss picking friends, picking noses (but NOT picking friends' noses)...and also video games. We speak expertly on news that we know very little about (I'm talking about you, Nintendo Treehouse Live). A light news and gaming week, but we're still here, your bestest ear-friends, soothing you with the balm of our silly shenanigans. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #13.
No hating on Hades this week! The Big and Little gush over Supergiant's newest, lushest adventure yet and we're there for every death-defying minute of it. More chats about Mario's 35th and the 3D gifts it has bestowed. The Big finally plays Portal, the Little dishes on Minecraft Live, and there are pigs....and whales. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #12!
Not even a fall Halloween update can bring us back to our cozy little animal village (unpopular opinion?). The big talks mostly Hades, the new rogue-lite on the block, a surprising breath of sulfuric air, while the real world feels the heat. The little hopes to find a Portal Two another more peaceful dimension. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #11!
The change of season brings some changes to our gaming routines...we both become spell-bound with Spellbreak, a twist on the battle royale genre. The little tackles big hits from the past (Portal, Portal 2) and is anxious to explore Mario's past with the release of Mario 3D All-Stars. Speaking of stars, yet again we bring you our star-studded podcast (if we do say so ourselves). Sit back, relax, and enjoy episode #10!
This week we travel back in time with our very first test recording for the Big Little Games Podcast. Before the birth of our 'cast, we set up the mic and stormed our brains until our vision took shape. We hope you enjoy time-traveling with us and we'll resume our normal format next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some unfiltered, unplanned goofy goodness!
This week we take a deep dive (or a "ground-pound") into Nintendo's most recent Mario 35th Anniversary remasters announcements as we laugh, joke, and spin-jump our way into September. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #8!
Rumors abound, and mini-directs fail to excite, but family reigns supreme as the grand-bigs take over the studio. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode 7!
We are heating up the mic in this late summer day with hot takes on the Nintendo Indie World Showcase, and adding to the release date rumor mill (the rumor-mongers that we be!) for the next direct and Breath of the Wild 2. We chat about some bullet-heck served hot and fresh in a cup (or a mug). Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #6 (we think).
This week we talk about...CATS! (Not the horror show film adaptation). Oh...and video games. We will fall flat, like our doughy human avatars, or will we leap to great heights with our mustachioed plumber heroes? Overall(s), it's a great time to be playing games. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #5!
The Little has been cheatin' death (or has death been cheatin' him?) in Celeste this week. We talk up Pikmin 3 Deluxe, a hopeful Minecraft event on the horizon, and it's all about the Little this week in an exclusive and rare interview. Put yer big or li'l feet up, relax, and enjoy Episode 4!
Updates Galore as we talk about Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and more. We speak of leaks (Nintendo leaks, that is), and the Little uses big "strats" as he traverses the land of Mario + Rabbids, Kingdom Battle. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #3!
In our second-y episode, we download on recent Minecraft news, explore hot takes on things Nintendo, including the most recent Mini Direct. Our non-gamer joins us again for Part 2 of our interview with a non-gamer. Game-breaking giggles, but no cheat codes here! Sit back and enjoy some wholesome gaming goodness.
In this inaugural episode, we discuss the Animal Crossing: New Horizons summer update and also weigh in on Elder Scrolls Online, Dragon Quest XI, and Mario Maker 2. We also interview a non-gaming member of the family. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Episode #1 of the Big Little Games Podcast!
