BitCast - A Gaming Podcast

We all have nostalgia for certain periods of time in our lives, and some of those memories might just be associated with gaming. Video Games tend to carry a lot of nostalgia for people, and so we’re digging deeper to look at the connection between our favorite medium, gaming, and the powerhouse that is nostalgia.

Open world games are very common now, but there was a time when the term 'Open World' didn't even exist. More AAA developers are producing open world games, but is that a good thing? Jake is starting to believe that most open world games aren't very good, so he's invited his older brother, Brock onto BitCast for the very first time to discuss. Thanks for tuning in to talk about some stuff!

Summer 2022 is a bit slower than previous years, and people are saying that we're in what's called a game drought. So Landry and Jake define what a game drought looks like, analyze last years releases for the same time frame, and suggest some things you can do when you're waiting for the next big game.

Well - we've officially made it out of Summer Games Fest, Not E3, Summer of Games, whatever you want to call it, and truth be told, it was kind of a letdown. That's not to say there weren't some cool announcements, but it feels like this year was lacking. Justin and Matthew from Nintendo Watcher join the podcast this week to discuss what games they've been playing, what they thought of Not E3, and a few announcements they were excited about.
