ESN Master Feed

Shareef is joined by ESN founder Moisés Chiullán to talk about Nintendo's all-Zelda-and-only-Zelda (with a side of Pokémon) presentation. What can we assume and guess about NX (which they really did avoid talking about)? What does Zelda portend for the near-future of Nintendo? Are they downplaying the things they should be highlighting?

Kahlief and Cicero are joined by Jordan Minor, "Senior Editor at Geeked.com And Also a Black Guy" for "The Last E3", aka "The Black E3". In this week's full-sized episode, they recap the huge amount of things worth talking about from the Sony and Ubisoft presentations, including a moment that was not unlike a King returning to his Kingdom. As we close out, Cicero notes something suspiciously familiar about Sony from last year to this year. Has his Microsoft-addled brain driven him crazy? Is it Stubnostication worth heeding? Stay tuned in the feed right after this episode for #116, where Shareef and Moisés recap Nintendo!

A listener-recommended game has set our hearts alight! Plus App Store changes and shenanigans in China.

Kahlief and Cicero are on the ground at E3 for the first in a series of short, daily (at minimum) recap and analysis shows we're delivering all week. Make sure your podcast client "keeps all episodes", we have a bunch coming. In this installment: does Jeff Cannata even wait in lines anymore? Who, of all people, brings up Nintendo while waiting in said line? Does Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb spill any MicroSecrets? What did and did not impress in the Microsoft presentation? Just how many Very Special Guests can we cram into one under-half-hour show???

Jay Dixit --- writer, editor, and storytelling teacher --- has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Slate, Wired, and Psychology Today. He joins Brett to talk writing; college life, comedy, psychology, and how it all tied together.

Edward James Olmos digs into how his activism and personal beliefs have informed his work, from baseball player to rock and roller to iconic Latino actor. Recorded live at Dallas Comic-Con Fan Days in February 2016.

We wrap up our epic show with io9's Evan Narcisse with some long-overdue E3 2016 predictions from both him and our crew. Who's going to show up? Who's gonna show out? Keep it locked to Spawn On Me for E3 goodness coming at you throughout next week as well!

We have a backlog of games to talk about and it's NOT all Candy Crush. But it's... not no Candy Crush either...

This week we're joined by io9's Evan Narcisse who comes home to Brookago for a second time. We had so much to catch up on in this episode that we had to break it into two parts! In part one we chat with Evan about his new gig over at io9. What the differences are between video game and comic book fandom and if he's gotten used to the lack of bodegas in his new home of Austin, TX.

Brett and Christina dive into their shared love of TV and the commercials that come with it before going off on a political debate that may be interesting. Or not. You decide, it's an election year.
