THiRD SHiFT

Gale force winds blew Battleplan #42 to us a day early and knocked out power all over Michigan, but we're still here with a full-sized episode for you!  We've got discussions on the aforementioned Battleplan, the Choctaw Festival of Gaming, PAX East, future possibilities for Gearbox and the Nintendo Switch, and tales of heroes and villains from Borderlands Night!  We've even got one very old, very dusty question from the very bottom of the Mailbag!

Welcome to the first episode of The Imposter's Guide to Gaming, the latest podcast from the crew at THiRD SHiFT!

This week on IG2G: HORiZON ZERO DΛWN, Night in the Woods, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Yakuza 0, and the Nintendo Switch.

Fallen out of gaming? Just don't have the time? This is the podcast for you! Every other week, we'll be bringing you information and discussions on five topics from the world of gaming, so you can stay up-to-date and hold real conversations with your video-game-loving friends!

Things get crazy as we welcome our very first guest to the show!  We've got a breakdown of Battleplan #41, the reveal of the Borderlands 3 Easter Eggs, a spoiler-y discussion on the Heart of Ekkunar story op, and all kinds of speculation on everything PAX East to Battleborn to Borderlands 3! 

The guys finally wrap up Montana and the Demon Bear, just in time to catch Battleborn Day 2.0 and celebrate the release of the final (maybe?) story op:  Phoebe and the Heart of Ekkunar!  We've also got major hints from Randy Varnell about the Borderlands Easter eggs, some speculation about the forgotten PAX East, Battleplan #40, and a tale of two Erics in the Mailbag.

Join us for Episode #31, and be sure to check back next week as we welcome our very first guest to the show!

It's a week of firsts!  Not only did Gearbox give a first look at Phoebe and the Heart of Ekkunar in their reveal stream, but the guys managed to pull off two things for the first time, ever, in their run-through of the Moxxi DLC for Borderlands 2.  We've also got the first Mailbag question that has us doing some serious research, and the first episode of Kid Ultra's new show in Battleplan #39.

Join us, won't you?  Even if it's not for the first time??

The guys talk about their experiences with the new queues/modes, a little prediction about the release of the new Ops Mission, thoughts on Hot Fixes and the Community Badasses in Battleplan #38, and we gush about how awesome our fans are in the Mailbag!

We're camping out in the woods to get prepped for the release of the Montana and the Demon Bear story op!  We've got a ghost story regarding Borderlands skins from the recent AMA, a tall tale from days gone by in the Mailbag, and tales of doom and gloom in the Hot Fixes of Battleplan #37!  Join us for another jam-packed episode!

We've barely scratched the surface of all the new Battleborn content we got last week, and Gearbox already has another story op on the way!  Join us for a recap of the Montana and the Demon Bear reveal stream, a discussion about versus queues featuring leavers and quitters, and impending doom for Matt and Eric!  We've also got Battleplan #36, and we mix Battleborn and Borderlands in an extended edition of the Mailbag!

It's finally here!  THiRD SHiFT proudly presents our 2017 Conjecture Land episode!  What's on the horizon for Gearbox Software and THiRD SHiFT?  Grab your oars, hop in the canoe, and join us on our first ever feature-length trip Conjecture Land episode!

The guys dig into the patch notes of Battleborn's recently-released Winter Update to bring you the top three changes they're most excited about!  Also, an overview of the Bulletstorm stream, Matt goes on a rant during the breakdown of Battleplan #35, and one of our fans goes full Howard in the Mailbag!  Join us for another huge show!
