JoyPad Podcast

In this week's episode, (most of) the gang discusses educational games. Or games that they at least learned things from. Sometimes the two coincide. Either way, you can bet Oregon Trail will be discussed at length.

Hello, dear listeners. This week, the gang discusses games that lost the plot with them. Games that they were otherwise enjoying, but took a turn somewhere that left us feeling lost. A shame, isn't it?

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. This week, we discuss the future of gameplay streaming services. As in, a service you can subscribe to that you can stream games directly to your console, rather than purchasing a game. Is this feasible, and/or ideal? Is this the future of game rentals? Let us know what you think!

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. This week, we discuss E3 2021, and what we hope to see come out of this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. Some of us are hopeful, some of us are grumpy, and maybe one of us is in an earthquake? You're going to have to listen to find out who's who!

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. This week, we discuss the rise, and (mostly) fall of Sega. We were pretty young when Sega was the top dog of home consoles, competing only with Nintendo. Nowadays, Nintendo is still fighting the good fight, along with Sony and Microsoft. But whatever happened to Sega, the bad boy of gaming? Let us discuss.

Happy Thump Day, listeners. In this week's episode, we discuss AAA games vs Indie games, coming at it from several viewpoints. The big one is cost, but also quality, FPM (fun per minute), and also just our general feelings. Join us, won't you?

Well, we've been doing this ding dang podcast for a year now. We haven't quite released one episode a week due to life stuff, but we got pretty close. This week, we take off the kiddie wheels, and just talk about the past year and what we've loved about the podcast. Also, we curse. And will probably be cursing from now on.

Greetings, dear listeners. In this week's episode, the gang discusses their feelings on remade and remastered video games. Are they necessary? Or at what point is a remake/remaster a good idea? Also... is it just lazy? It might just be lazy. Anyways, let us know what you think!

For the first time ever, we just take an entire episode to recommend games to each other. Sure, we do that all the time, but do we ever dedicate an entire episode to it? I DON'T THINK SO. Also, maybe we'll suggest some games that you'd like to try! You never know!

In this week's episode, the gang discusses AI in games. Some of their favorite (and least favorite) examples, as well as where we hope games can advance to as AI becomes both more advanced and more common.
