Starting Point

Welcome to Podcast Inquisition!  Corey and Brian decided to do a set of spoilercasts specific to Dragon Age: Inquisition as they've done in the past for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning.  

** Warning: There are possible spoilers in this podcast. ** 

In this episode, Corey and Brian discuss the first 5 levels in the single player and also include their thoughts on the multiplayer in the game.  The big not surprise: One of us likes it, the other, does not.

Send us your feedback on Twitter to Corey, Brian or the Podcast.

It finally happened. Corey and Brian tackle the PC versus Console debate. Not sure it turned out exactly as either of us expected, but it's done and in the books.  Thanks to @Chrisbalditt on Twitter for the topic suggestion.

Do you have a topic you'd like Brian and Corey to hash out over 30 minutes?  Tweet them at Corey, Brian or the podcast and we'll discuss them on the show.  Could be anything about video games or how much Corey is wanting to play Maplestory 2.

Corey and Brian discuss the games they are most excited about in 2015.  With plenty of fantastic indie and AAA titles releasing in 2015, it's all about the "take my money" in this episode.  

What games are you anticipating the most in 2015?

Either email us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com or tweet at us - Brian, Corey or the Podcast.  Don't forget to use the hashtag #TeamBrian or #Maplestory2forCorey.  

We look forward to podcasting for you in the upcoming year!

I think it's safe to say we all want to save arcades in the United States.  The question Corey and Brian tackle is whether these "video redemption" machines are the way to do it.  Video Remption (or videmption) machines take a mobile game and turn it into a stand-up arcade machine.  Are you willing to pay $1 to play one round of Flappy Bird or Temple Run or Skylanders Cloud Patrol in order to get tickets?  

Join in the conversation by tweeting at Brian or Corey or the podcast itself or email us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com.

Corey and Brian take nostalgia to new, er...old heights when they discuss whether there are games from your past you cannot go back and play again.  Sure, there are the games we love to return to (we talk about those as well), but could you possibly ruin your memories by going back now as an adult?

Are there games you love to return to every once in a while?  Are there games from your past you refuse to revisit?  Let us know by commenting below, tweeting the podcast or email us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com.  Or just if you just want to shout on Twitter at Brian or Corey, you can do that too!

This episode is chock full of games.  Corey and Brian break down The Game Awards and the Playstation Experience.  That's over 5 hours of concentrated content stuffed into a 40 minute podcast.  They guys talk everything from award winners to show winners and everything in between.Did you watch The Game Awards?  What did you think?  Tweet or email us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com.

Corey and Brian tackle the how Virtual Reality will get into your house and get you while you sit on your couch.  Will we be using virtual reality while playing on our consoles or will it be PC-only?  Listen in and hear our thoughts.  Leave your thoughts here in the comments or email us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com.

This week Corey and Brian are thankful for all things gaming, but especially for World of Warcraft, Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Rogue.  The guys talk about those and other things they're thankful for along with a bunch of digressions you knew were coming.

What are you thankful for - gaming or otherwise?  Let us know by tweeting us here or emailing us at startingpointfeedback [at] gmail dot com.

Looking at the swirling chaos surrounding the new DLC for Monument Valley, Brian and Corey tackle why it is ridiculous to expect UsTwo's Forgotten Shores expansion would be free.  They guys also discuss Blizzard's recent World of Warcraft expansion and their problems on launch day and how the company combatted bad press with communication.

Corey mentioned the amazing release trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition.  Here you go.

Next week looks to be an interesting episode where Corey is going to talk Lords of Draenor and Brian will dive into the new Assassin's Creeds.  Give us your thoughts on these games and anything else you're playing.

It's the episode Brian had been dreading - the infamous Blizzcon episode.  Listen to Corey go full-on fanboy as the guys discuss Blizzcon 2014.  They touch on Overwatch, Hearthstone's next expansion, Diablo III Season 2 and Heroes of the Storm.  Then, Brian and Corey wrap things up with Microsoft's newest IP acquisition and Brian goes off on Senator Ted Cruz's position on Net Neutrality.
