JoyPad Podcast

Happy Thump Day! In today's episode, the gang discusses games that, well... they're bad at. But hey, it doesn't matter if you're bad at a game if you're enjoying it, right? Let's talk about that!

This week, we discuss games that we wanted to love. We really did... but there was just something holding it back. These games were almost good, but they just missed the mark.

In this week's episode, the gang discusses games that they feel are either underrated, underplayed, or both! Keep in mind, this is all just a matter of opinion. That said... these games are probably pretty good, because we know what we're talking about.

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. In this week's episode of JoyPad, we discuss simulation games, and talk about the metrics of enjoyment that must be met to have fun playing them. Are you having enough FUN PER MINUTE (tm) to justify spending time playing Cities: Skylines? What about Madden 21? Roller Coaster Tycoon? THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT RESEARCH.

Greetings for the day, dear listeners. This week, we discuss some lesser seen or utilized game mechanics that we really enjoy that we wish we could see more of in other games or series. Food, Sanity, Notes... it's all fair game!

The gang discusses games that they have spent far too much time on, or games that require players to spend exorbitant amounts of time playing to get the best items, achievements, or cosmetics. Is this okay? Is it good? Is it just a ploy by developers to get you to spend more because "there's just so much content!" Who really knows, man.

With the world of cons and showcases disrupted by, you know... a global pandemic... we discuss if there is still a need for these in-person gatherings when they seem to be just as effective done digitally? On the other hand, there's nothing like a big group of nerd congregating.

Happy Thump Day! This week, the gang discusses the gaming memorabilia that they have accrued over the years. That's what happens when you're a nerd!

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. This Thump Day, the gang discusses difficulty in games. Some games are difficult, some games are easy, some are in between. Most of them let you choose your difficulty level... but some don't. What's your preferred level of difficulty??

Happy Thump Day, dear listeners. Now that we're a month deep into 2021, it's time to revisit some of the upcoming games and tech that will hopefully be coming out this year! We'll discuss what we're looking forward to, what we're not looking forward to, and anything else that comes up! What games are YOU looking forward to?
