Hey Poor Podcast

“Have I just committed an atrocity maybe?” Jay couldn’t make it this week, so it’s once again up to I “Supernun” Coleman, Nathan “Gross Man Yaoi Hands” Terencio, and Anthony “Sweaty Danny DeVito” Spivey to hold down the Hey Poor Podcast fort. Join this grim trio for an episode about chibi Portuguese explorers in Neo ATLAS 1469, Nathan’s hands-on experience with a Nintendo Switch, and an impassioned rant about why Yuri On Ice is a bad show, actually. Fair warning, we also talked quite a bit about PewDiePie in the news portion. Not only is it the biggest story in gaming this week, but this is a podcast hosted by a Jew, and we talked it over and felt it was worth breaking our “no…

“Have I just committed an atrocity maybe?”

Jay couldn’t make it this week, so it’s once again up to I “Supernun” Coleman, Nathan “Gross Man Yaoi Hands” Terencio, and Anthony “Sweaty Danny DeVito” Spivey to hold down the Hey Poor Podcast fort. Join this grim trio for an episode about chibi Portuguese explorers in Neo ATLAS 1469, Nathan’s hands-on experience with a Nintendo Switch, and an impassioned rant about why Yuri On Ice is a bad show, actually.

Fair warning, we also talked quite a bit about PewDiePie in the news portion. Not only is it the biggest story in gaming this week, but this is a podcast hosted by a Jew, and we talked it over and felt it was worth breaking our “no politics” rule for. If that’s not your thing, by all means feel free to stop the show early – we put in a big disclaimer letting you know where the waifu jokes stop and the Real Talk begins.

Games of the Week: For Honor, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Nathan goes to the NISA press event, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, Dragonball Fusions, Neo ATLAS 1469, Princess Maker Refine

Audience Questions: Well-made games/films/TV shows you don’t enjoy, female armor options, least favorite videogame villains

The News: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC Expansion Pass, the people vs PewDiePie

“Which Of Us Is Gonna Jump Off A Bridge Mid-Episode?” On this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, we’ve finally managed to get the whole crew together: I “Check Out My Other Podcast” Coleman, Jay “Only Pokemon” Petrequin, Nathan “Big Titty Spiders” Terencio, and Anthony “At Least I’m Not Nathan” Spivey. Gather round as the HPP Avengers assemble to talk about why The Lego Batman Movie is the best superhero film in years, how Portal Knights manages to be more than just another Minecraft ripoff, what happens when game/film/comic stories get too complicated without adding depth, and more! We even talked about God’s Not Dead this week, for some reason. Probably because Nathan needs to find Jesus. Games/Films/TV of the Week: Overwatch’s Year of…

“Comedy Is Hard, As This Show Demonstrates” This week, host I “I Don’t Have Any Waifus” Coleman is once again joined by HeyPoorPlayer’s biggest fans of highly questionable anime: Anthony “Two MS Paint Legs Sticking Out Of Each Breast” Spivey and Nathan “The Animal Crossing Murderer” Terencio. This episode manages to be much more reserved (and much more PG) than the last episode with this trio, with plenty of discussion of gaming memories, Nintendo’s continued attempts to sabotage their own products, and the perceived difference between art and entertainment. But it’s not all serious, as we also talk about a bold new design for The Legend of Zelda’s Navi, Nathan’s weird obsession with the possibility of a Nintendo theme part, and the greatest animated television…

“Comedy Is Hard, As This Show Demonstrates”

This week, host I “I Don’t Have Any Waifus” Coleman is once again joined by HeyPoorPlayer’s biggest fans of highly questionable anime: Anthony “Two MS Paint Legs Sticking Out Of Each Breast” Spivey and Nathan “The Animal Crossing Murderer” Terencio. This episode manages to be much more reserved (and much more PG) than the last episode with this trio, with plenty of discussion of gaming memories, Nintendo’s continued attempts to sabotage their own products, and the perceived difference between art and entertainment. But it’s not all serious, as we also talk about a bold new design for The Legend of Zelda’s Navi, Nathan’s weird obsession with the possibility of a Nintendo theme part, and the greatest animated television program of all time: Megas XLR.

Also, Anthony was using a new setup this week and wasn’t using it quite right, so audio quality takes a bit of a dip this week. Sorry about that. It’s still more than listenable, we promise.

Games/Films/TV of the Week: Digimon World: Next Order, Fire Emblem Heroes, Psychonauts, Sid Meier’s Pirates, the original Animal Crossing, Konosuba, Nights of Azure, more Pathologic

Audience Questions: Games you wanted to play but couldn’t, funny game experiences, favorite character death in games, games as art vs games as entertainment

The News: The new Samurai Jack trailer, GameSpot’s Circle of Life, Final Fantasy VII remake’s kind-of sort-of delay (and Square Enix’s many recent screw-ups), Nintendo’s rumored 3DS successor, cancelled Switch preorders

“You Too Can Help Us Kill Nathan” This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, we get the band back together with I “John Romero Retweeted Me” Coleman, Jay “Good Good Space Kids” Petrequin, and Nathan “Tony The Tiger’s Lover” Terencio. And this episode’s an interesting one, because it mixes some seriously deep discussions of game theory and game design with conversations about marrying cereal mascots, Conan Exile’s phallus physics, and Bologna Pikachu. We also got eight questions from one forum user this week, which leads to probably the weirdest and most viscerally upsetting audience question segment the show’s ever had, or ever will have. All in all, it’s as close as this show gets to a perfect ep. Enjoy! Games/Films/TV of the Week: Spore, The…

Milk The Waifu Train In this ScrungCo™-sponsored episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, I “I’m Deleting The Podcast” Coleman is left alone with Nathaniel “Some Garbage Is Okay” Terencio, and Anthony “Generic Fantasy Word” Spivey, and it goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Listen to I get increasingly agitated by discussions of a new Pokemon that wishes only for death, a Starbucks-drinking millennial Godzilla, a legal battle royale between famous game developers, and waifus. LOTS of waifus. Fear not, though, dear listeners – while this episode is one of our silliest in a long time, we still have time to discuss the future of the Nintendo Switch, remember the garbage MMOs we played as children, talk about some great underappreciated gaming gems, and workshop…

Milk The Waifu Train

In this ScrungCo™-sponsored episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, I “I’m Deleting The Podcast” Coleman is left alone with Nathaniel “Some Garbage Is Okay” Terencio, and Anthony “Generic Fantasy Word” Spivey, and it goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Listen to I get increasingly agitated by discussions of a new Pokemon that wishes only for death, a Starbucks-drinking millennial Godzilla, a legal battle royale between famous game developers, and waifus. LOTS of waifus. Fear not, though, dear listeners – while this episode is one of our silliest in a long time, we still have time to discuss the future of the Nintendo Switch, remember the garbage MMOs we played as children, talk about some great underappreciated gaming gems, and workshop our Walmart-greeter-based XCOM clone. Wait. That last one was also nonsense, wasn’t it.

Games of the Week: Mario/Rabbids RPG Watch 2017, Fate/Extella, Stardew Valley, Final Fantasy XIV, EverQuest Project 1999, M.E.R.C.

Audience Questions: MMO experiences, games that are better with mods, favorite games that nobody’s ever heard of

The News: the Nintendo Fire Emblem Direct, more complaining about the Switch’s lousy online service, Zenimax vs Oculus Rift
