GameVerse Pub : The Average Gamer's Podcast

In this episode, Shawn and Piel crack open some beers and dig through Shawn’s personal SNES collection - the games that shaped his childhood, one cartridge at a time. From absolute legends like Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island, to underrated gems like Turn and Burn: No-Fly Zone and Captain America and the Avengers, it’s a nostalgic trip full of laughs, memories, and surprising opinions.

Did Super R-Type actually make us rage-quit as kids? Was Ahh! Real Monsters better than you remember? And why was NHL 96 the peak of couch rivalry hockey? We go game by game, sharing stories, favorite levels, and how these games still hit (or don’t) today.

Grab a pint and join us for this retro rewind!

In this laid-back episode, Shawn and Gee kick back with some beers and dive into a casual chat about the games they’ve been playing lately. From the epic storytelling of Baldur’s Gate 3 to the chaotic fun of Helldivers 2, we touch on a range of games and gaming topics including Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, and even the psychological side of gaming.

We get into:

• Why save/load states are a game-changer for emulator players
• The dreaded analysis paralysis that hits hard when you’ve got too many game choices
• How tabletop classics like D&D and Warhammer influence the way we game today
• And to top it all off, Shawn throws a surprise Gamer Quiz at Gee—can he defend his title as the Geek Who Loves to Talk?

Whether you're in it for deep discussions or chill game talk, this one's for you.
