Jason and I got to spend a little over an hour talking shop with Ken Levine, game director of BioShock, BioShock Infinite and the upcoming game, Judas. Apologies for some sound issues. We had a soundcheck snafu. In any case, Judas sounds super exciting and innovative and I can’t wait to play it and this was a great conversation. Enjoy!

Hello Game Night! followers. It’s been awhile since our last episode which is almost entirely my fault. Sorry Jason and Ollie. Life has been pretty hectic. Or perhaps it’s just my dysfunctional brain. In any case, we’re back and there’s more to come.

Jason is solo for this one as Erik is on an early Christmas break. In turn, I’m joined by Lord Cognito of Defining Duke & Iron Lords Podcasting fame, as well as Steve Danton, CEO or 2TonStudios and creator of Onto The End.

We recap briefly the Game Awards, and other random musings and finally bring a topic each totaling 3 for thoughts on gaming headed into 2025.

Merry Christmas all and see you as a full squad in 2025.

Jason Rose decided to take a nap during our latest podcast, so Ollie Barder and Erik Kain had a conversation about Japan (among other things).

Enjoy another episode of Game Night! where I am joined by Jason Rose and Ollie Barder and we shoot the shit about video games, Star Wars, mecha and other nerdy stuff. Nerdy by nature, that’s us. Also sometimes referred to as “Bearded Ones.”

Jason Rose and I had my colleague Ollie Barder on as guest for episode 8 of the Game Night! Podcast. Ollie works as a game designer and covers Japanese gaming and culture at Forbes. He lives in Tokyo, hails from England, and has a very unique perspective on the video game industry. We talk about various games, the Sweet Baby Inc stuff and why there are much bigger problems with the video game industry. Enjoy!

We are joined by our first guest on Game Night! Lord Cognito. One half of the Defining Dukes of Last Stand Media fame. CEO of Lords of Gaming and a cornerstone of the Iron Lords Podcast.

We get right into the hard-hitting questions on everything Xbox. Will they survive and how, did Gamepass kill Xbox as we know it or did they simply play their hand too quickly? No softballs here and disagreements were had.

Then we delve into our histories. With all of us being of the accelerated ages we get into what brought the love into our lives for gaming. Cog and I gush over our SEGA histories.

Lots more to be found in this 3 hour banger of an episode

Jason Rose and I are trying once again to do a gaming podcast where we talk about all the games we don't have time to play, the big industry news and controversies, and whatever else tickles our fancy. This is episode 5. 2023 just finished, was it the best year ever for video games? What’s on the horizon for 2024, could it actually match ‘23? Plus a little of what we’re playing, what we’ve been up to, and just what the F has taken us sooo long! Stay with us everyone, we aren’t going away this time.
