In this episode of the LittleBigKast Drew and Robin shirk their professorial duties, Rachel takes up hibernation and nearly misses the show, and Jeff keeps his intro to under 8 minutes for the first time ever! For the news we discuss Playstation’s huge 20th year anniversary. We reminisce a bit about our first Playstation experiences, we hypothesize about the effect of Playstation Vue and the cable cutter culture. And finally we spend quite a bit of time wondering what the hell happened to Ubisoft. #microtransactions

LittleBigKast – Episode 71: Midgets and Microtransactions

What’s up every one! Welcome to a really strange episode of LBK. If you were watching the livestream, you would know that the show started off just kind of… awkwardly. But if you did not watch the livestream, then everything will seem normal! Writing these is always fun because I get to reminisce on all of the fun things that happened during the show. Robin set a timer to see how long we (or just Jeff) talked about Destiny. I don’t believe we exceeding 20 minutes! Rachel talks about her journey of starting to raise a Titan. Drew tells us about his manly duty for the week, and Robin admits her plan to take over the world! Not really, but maybe. Ok folks, enjoy!

LittleBigKast – Episode 70: Spreading our Wings

As a welcomed substitution to the kast, Glenn the globetrotting chef joins us in Jeff’s place for this episode and proceeds to be censored up one side and down the other. Thank you for not disappointing us, Glenn. Everyone picks apart their decisions in Until Dawn while Robin hugs her knees in the corner and schedules counseling sessions to help her move past her crippling fear of clowns (to which everyone responds by SENDING PICTURES OF CLOWNS you sick, sick people!).
Beginning with a conversation about the mediocrity (maybe?) of the new Mad Max game and the majesty of the Mad Max movie, the modified Littlebigkast picks apart the phenomenon of games transitioning to movies; what makes a successful transition, what genres are more adaptable, and what were some of the high/lowlights of this movement? You curious now? Yes, yes you are.

Littlebigkast – Episode 69: Send in the Clowns

What’s up every body, and welcome to this episode of the LittleBigKast. This is a very special episode, and that is because we got the Scare Crew back together to play Until Dawn. There was yelling, screaming, and loud decisions on which path to take. Along with this episode there is the usual news, and reviews, but those go by quickly because we all just wanted to play Until Dawn. So here it is ladies, and gents, another LittleBigKast episode featuring the Scare Crew. Nothing beats getting friends together better than some good jump scares.

LittleBigKast – Episode 68: Until Dawn with the LBK Scare Crew

After being separated for far too long, the entire Littlebig cast (yes I meant to say it that way) returns in full-ish force to bring you hilarity, commentary and something else that ends in the “-ary” sounding suffix. Oh, and there’s gaming news, nostalgia and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture for our indie game of the week!
Rachel returns from her escape to Florida, where “everything is trying to eat you” and shares her stories of adulting and gaming issues (remember kids, packing the correct chargers for a trip should be more important than underwear). Robin laments the end of summer while Drew goes into hyperdrive of awesome parenting by using events in King’s Quest as a teachable moment. And Jeff goes for *drumroll* one week without energy drinks (fanfare, confetti and marching bands)!!!!
