Game Blitz

Our initial intention was to talk about video game challenges. Things like completing a set, completing x amount of games in a year, or maintaining a social life while collecting. But in our preparation for the podcast we watched Nintendo Quest and felt so strongly about it that we had to include a review in the podcast.

NOTE: We mention that the movie just came out. That is false. It just recently became widely available. It actually premiered in October 2015.

Trigger Warning: We talk about GameStop

Try not to rage too hard. This one's all about GameStop. More like GameStupid am I right guys? Here we give our honest, blunt, opinions on GameStop which mostly came out to a mild defense of the store. Send your hate mail to twitter.com/gameblitzshow

Here's a link to that video Cody goes on a rant about.

It's time to visit the mysterious land of Nippon and discuss what Japanese people game on and how you can too. We won't say weeaboo if you don't. 5 points goes out to whoever translates the intro to the show.

PS anything incorrect that Cody said on the podcast today was totally on purpose and you just don't get it.

Thanks for listening as always.

In this podcast we talk all about the new March 3rd Nintendo Direct. There were a ton of games shown off and we cover them all. Try to contain your excitement as Cody struggles to stay awake (we recorded at 2AM).

That's right ladies and gentleman this one is all about Pokemon. Pokemon is having a big old 20th anniversary and we celebrate the occasion by reminiscing the series. If you don't like or know anything about Pokemon this episode may not be for you, you might learn a thing or two about the series but you'll probably be lost for most of the discussion.

This episode we just complain, let loose with some of our biggest video game pet peeves. Also be sure to check out the PRGE/NWCGE Annual Swap Meet in Portland, Oregon on the 23rd. We'll be there and you should too. Should be a nice quiet event that will help you expand your collection.

Welcome to our new mini series Business Class. We're here to explain the world of business in the video game industry. From amiibos to Zynga we're gonna hit it all so strap in and try to stay awake. We'll try to put out a Business Class episode each month addressing more concerns and recent news as it comes up but we'll also try to limit it to just one as all this talk about business can be quite boring to some.

Today we give you a general introduction and address some common misconceptions and complaints we hear and give you an explanation of the Amiipocalypse. Next month's Business Class topic will be all about Sony so if you've got something more interesting you'd like to hear about tweet it to @gameblitzshow and we'll probably cover that instead.

Did you see The Game Awards? If not you can check it out for yourself here.

I personally thought it was boring and heavy handed with it's advertising. I think this is partly a function of being an awards show but mostly due to it being a video game award show.

Hopefully next year the fix up the format and categories.

We've got the scoop on all the Black Friday deals here in Seattle. This episode basically turns into a huge Target ad as they have Black Friday locked down. Also I get off track and start rambling about first person shooters to extend the episode by 20 minutes.

This week you may hear my bird chime in a couple times. Like literally, with a bell.

Thanks for listening and Happy Thanksgiving
