Mind Games

Though probably best known for his Jak and Daxter run at SGDQ2016, Bonesaw577 is an avid speedrunner of many games, most notably the Siren series.  This Christmas, he released a trailer for a game he has been working on for the past several years called HAUNT.  We discuss the process of making a game as well as his plans for 2019.

We were joined by Justin Wharton and SPIF to talk about developing their own brand, and developing their niche in the community.

Having these two on was an absolute treat and if you're interested in rocking any of their swag...

The boys are back at it and we got some new tricks up our sleeves.

For the first episode of Season 2, we are joined by Flourish Esports founder and ARMS commentator, personality, and general superstar, Schkrimps!

We had Schkrimps on during the summer mini-season. He recently reached out and offered to sponsor Mind Games as well as sign Estarion as a member of the Flourish Staff for audio content creation.

In this episode, we talk about the Flourish Esports platform, MG Season 2, Estarion's new projects, and go on a lot of tangents with Schkrimps. The rest of season 2 is going to be bigger, better, and more official than ever before.

This episode was recorded a few weeks ago. I was going to transcribe and do a written piece but people would likely rather hear it for themselves! This was recorded before I was using bots in Discord and the format is different from what you might be used to, but the interview is still fun and we hit some great points.

We discuss the FIFA World Cup Final as well as some of the other matches in the tournament, then talk about our brothers and finding a niche for ourselves, and end talking about Melee, Android's new found focus on singles, and the future of the game.

Big thanks to Android for joining me! It was a fun conversation and I'll be having him back on the show soon!

This week, I was joined by Mudkyp from Stop Your Friendlies. If you've been Genesis, TBH, or SNS, you've probably heard his voice at least a few times over the loudspeaker!

We talk about the Ultimate Direct on Aug 8, the ruleset options for Ultimate, EVO 2018, and the Melee scene and community as a whole - what we can do and how can we improve.

It was a super fun episode and Chuck is an absolute treat to have on! You can expect to hear more from him in future episodes because he is a treasure trove of insight and unique perspectives on Smash.

This week I'm joined by ARMS commentators Defur and Schkrimps to talk about the game, the community, and the competitive scene. That community is incredibly welcoming and the game is really complex and nuanced and I've been lucky to befriend a lot of ARMS players. We don't discuss as much mental health this episode and focus on building a welcoming and positive community.

This is the first episode of the more informal and on-the-fly Mind Games+ Podcast. I had on my closest friend and someone with whom I have countless amazing conversations about mental health, gaming, food, and everything in between. The episode is a bit long, and we definitely go on some tangents, but its all fun and we have some substantial conversation about mental health in gaming throughout.
