The Chompcast episodes

  • Deviljho, King of the Definitely Not Just Dinosaurs - Ep. 77
    Giant beasts roam the landscape, roaring their loud roars as they claim their territories. Creatures fly overhead, with gusts of wind flowing from their massive wing spans. Small creatures dart from bush to tree, looking to forage for food while avoiding the monstrous entities. The overgrowth hides secrets of the forests. Within them, there are monster hunters that slink through, hoping to achieve glory by slaying the creatures.
    Another action-packed episode of the Chompcast is filled this week, as we first discuss our time together playing Fortnite. We discuss game delays and how they impact the gaming landscape. The first big game of the year has dropped: Monster Hunter World. The crew is fully invested into playing it. Shea talks about his week with playing more Horizon Zero Dawn. Morgan shares some reader comments regarding a community question with Battlefront 2. Lastly, the crew discusses a biology article regarding the axolotl and scientists discovering the axolotl genome.

  • All Life Bows - Ep. 76
    Troubling. Troubling is the mind when one delves deep into the inner workings of the brain. Getting lost in thought can lead one to freefall, down…down…down… It feels like a never-ending chasm that can spiral endlessly. Despair can overtake the heartiest person. All it takes is one event to completely alter a person forever. One heartbreak, one death, one violation of the body, one violation of the soul. No one is safe from the devices that can imbue a person with a touch of madness.
    Madness is what we feel this week as we have SO MANY TOPICS to cover ranging from what soundtracks mean to gaming and us, the Nintendo Labo, Fortnite with the crew, Morgan’s time with Inpatient, Josh’s laundry list of games he played over the week, and a Bio Break article guaranteed to make your skin crawl. Are you ready for the next episode? We surely hope so.

  • Bug Nuts - Ep. 74

    BOOM!

    Big explosions illuminate the night sky as a cavalcade of people are stopped in the middle of the street, awe etched onto their stony faces.  Their eyes reflect the dazzling array of colors as their ears are filled with a chorus of bursts.  The smell of gunpowder fills the air, tantalizing the viewers into a state of nostalgia, as emotions and memories flood them reminding them of a time of childlike innocence and wonder.

    In a barren field, about a half of a mile away from the procession of people, there are heaps of artillery shell tubes.  They are towering and grand, offering balls of light to the night sky.  Laid out in uniformity of rows and columns, the mini cannons await with eager jubilation to be of use.  Whirling around them with lighted sticks, four people ignite the fireworks.  The movement of lighting and escaping to safety in choreographed repetition appears to be an interpretive dance, conveying deeper and complex feelings for the world.  Their faces gleam in the fading light of the fireworks.

    This year starts out with a bang for Swordchomp!  We start off 2018 with a packed episode of the Chompcast, eager to make this year our year.  Joining us for the first Chompcast episode of 2018 is one of our dear friends, Rich Meister, a fun and intelligent fellow of destructoid.com.  We discuss eight of the games we are most excited for in 2018, and we briefly mention the Nintendo Direct released at the beginning of the year.  Prey and Nier: Automata are both games on our mind as we have finished them over our break, as we reflect on the positives and negatives of both.  We include a Bio Break article that discussed two separate studies that investigate male insects that lose legs become more sexually successful as they invest more resources into their testes.
