Talking Games

Hey there! Another episode of the Talking Games podcast has arrived and boy, it's a busy one. Justin and Rob have returned from the frozen continent Antartica, formerly known as Boston, with lots of Pax East talk. Tons of games were played, and need to be discussed - most notably Overwatch and Gigantic. Listen in as the guys discuss the perils of line waiting, freezing weather, horrible food service and indie goodness. Then, the crew checks in with Steve who's clocked in several hours while playing and absolutely loving Helldivers. Also, We can't not talk about the incredible Olli Olli 2, either. That soundtrack! All of that plus, what you've been playing, questions and another giveaway! Let's do this!

But wait, there's more! This is our 50th podcast celebration, after all! In addition to all the game talk we announce the winner of our Ike Amiibo Giveaway, field some of your listener questions, and get pumped for PAX!

Talking Games Episode 49: The Order 1886, Arkham Knight and Game Ratings

This week, Rob leads Justin, Jacqui, and Steve in a discussion about video game maturity. Does The Arkham Knight's new Mature rating hurt its reputation as being Teen accessible? What were we exposed to as children that helped determine our level of maturity? Has Jacqui really spend her whole week sleeping around in Dragon Age: Inquisition? Ah! I have your attention now, don't I? The group also gets around to talking about the games they've played this week, including titles like: Grand Theft Auto V Online, Cave Story, The Walking Dead, and The Order 1886. Additionally, Steve gets lost inside of a Canadian Adventure Room, Rob expresses his longing for Monster Hunter 4, and Jacqui asks the question: Who are the people who decide what our games are rated? It's all very amazing and you should totally listen in.

Hello everyone!  Welcome to yet another episode of the Talking Games podcast.  We got a busy show for you this week, as Justin, Rob, Jacqui and Bobby talk about a lot of games.  Bobby has been missing since Game of the Year talk, we catch up with him and why he's decided to play through his back log of games that includes The Last of us and Mass Effect 3.  Has Jacqui finally found her new Skyrim?  What does Rob think of GTA online?  Has Justin tired out on Evolve?   Additionally the crew talks about the rumored length of The Order 1886 and discusses the value of longer games against shorter games when debating price point.  Justin and Rob share some tips for Pax East which is now just around the corner.  All this and more!  Come hang out and listen.

The games we played this week, that highly unlikely Legend of Zelda/Netflix project, and our hopes for the announced revival of Toejam & Earl! Want more, do ya? We also take the time to field a few of your listener questions in addition to chin-wagging about games such as:  Battlefield: Hardline, Dying Light, Evolve, and Life is Strange.

Greetings!  Welcome to yet another episode of the Talking Games podcast.  This week Jacqui is at the helm and oh my goodness, you better hold on.  Our fire team leader combines her power with Rob, Steve and Justin to bring you a wealth of video game talk.  With the Super Bowl just passing, Jacqui wants to know what's up with the crew and sports games?  The team also talks about what they've been playing which includes games like Dying light, Unmechanical, The Unfinished Swan, Diablo Median XL, Apotheon and Citizens of Earth.  We end the show with a round of listener questions and general hysterics.  Catch you next week!

We're alive! After having our schedule derailed by a snowstorm, Rob, Justin, Jacqui, and Steve are in from the cold and ready to talk about games! This week, Rob leads the group in a discussion about weathering the storm, dispatching the undead, and whether or not Heroes of the Storm is the next big MOBA.
