The Chompcast

Hello, listeners! So nice of you to join us. This week, we had a very special guest: Jason, the brilliant mind who designed our beautiful logos that you see weekly. He brought with him the topic of friendships built in gaming, which prompted a wonderful discussion among the crew. From there, Shea discussed his time with Sonic Mania, while the crew weighed in with final thoughts. Jason wanted to talk some original Destiny, which the crew (especially Fish) happily obliged. Morgan and Shea briefly discussed the new Star Trek: Discovery first two episodes. And don’t worry, listeners, we didn’t forget to include a discussion about Mario laying pipe.

Guns, guns, and gravity. We keep it interesting this week as we discuss more prevailing thoughts regarding Destiny 2. Josh and Morgan bring Samus back to our minds as they converse about their time with Metroid: Samus Returns. Shea finally returns to video gaming after his months-long adventure in mobile gaming land with more Gravity Rush 2 talk.

Also on the docket, we discuss how mood affects our time gaming, whether it is about comfort food or mood dictating which games we play and why. Come join us for another exciting episode of the Chompcast!

What's up Swordchomp community? So this is a little segment created from the normal podcast. We have many discussions outside of the podcast, and many of them are hilarious. We wanted to give you a little taste of what many of our conversations are like. We also included some of the hilarious audio clips that we made for the show over the past year as a sort of remembrance. We hope you enjoy, and we thank you for taking the ride with us over the past year as we continue to be ever-inspired.

Earth is in a state of flux, being attacked by the armies of the Red Legion.  Throngs of humans have been obliterated from the face of the planet.  The armies descend in hordes, ready to massacre the rest of humanity.  They want to capture the Traveler’s light.  The Traveler will not oblige their request, and begins to fight back.  Fish looks into the sky and wets himself in sheer horror as the sphere dons a massive bushel of face hair.

The crew this week fully unloads their love for Destiny 2, being fully entrenched in the game.  It has taken over Fish’s and Morgan’s life (surprise surprise).  Josh is waiting for the computer game, and Shea is waiting for his PS4.  We also discuss the topic of a sequel that changed our minds on a game series that we were not previously keen on.  We wrap up with some listener questions and comments.  Game on!

Hey guys!  This week, we welcome our special and last guest to the Chompcast in our few months of guest hosts.  Ryan did an awesome job with us as we discussed our prevailing thoughts regarding nostalgia in gaming.  We pondered why nostalgia is such a massive proponent in gaming culture, as well as culture in general.  We posed the question to ourselves: is it a trick our mind plays on us, or is there a level of validity within the nostalgia that speaks to something deeper?  We also briefly mentioned games that harken back to an earlier time for us, and why they matter so much.  Is it the artwork?  The music?  The dialogue?  The characters?  What senses, emotions, and memories do these games invoke within us?

Next, we barrel-rolled on into discussion of what is clearly going to be one of this year’s hottest and most talked about games, Destiny 2.  The hype is real with some members of the crew as they discuss their experiences thus far with the single- and multi-player.  We pay homage to the following that this game has garnered over the years, highlighting the reasons we think that Destiny has continued to be the juggernaut it is since its first release.

We catch up with the crew, as is tradition around here, and hear tales regarding very old guns, cliff jumping, truck driving, and a question posed to us by one of our wonderful listeners.  Come join in on the fun, and happy gaming!

What year is this, 1990? As autumn rolls in, the gaming community has been gifted a great Sonic and a great Mario game. This week, we discuss our thoughts regarding the Sonic game that acts as a remaster, a remix, and a new game all balled into one. We have our infamous D&D bartender Rich Meister around to offer his in-depth analysis of Mario and Rabbids with Josh. Rich also brings along the topic of most disappointing anticipated game after a recent harrowing experience with Agents of Mayhem. Shea rejoins the podcast this week and details his recent travels. Come join us for some fun and lengthy conversation on the Chompcast!
