Video Game Logic Podcast

This week we talk about A Bird Story, and share our views on this now 10 year old game. I managed to sneak in a comparison to Die Hard, and both Rage and I want to play the rest of the series now.

This week we spend a lot of time talking about space games, and Jared plays with some Melons. Not in that way though, at least this time.....for now.

Due to a particularly busy work week, the boys were tired. Enjoy a delicious leftover bit of Franken Content from a recent episode, where we do actually talk about a game or two. 

A relatively short episode this week, we talk about Steamworld Build for the January Gameclub, go on a tangent or two, and mention the February Gameclub. We hope you enjoy the show!

PS. Jared didn't get slammed at work this week and forget to post the episode.

Topics list:

1. Gameclub: Steam World Build

After a very long halftime show, and some real-life issues that got in the way of recording, we're back to finish off our awards show. What is the best and worst of the year? Let's find out!

This week we go into the backlog again. Scheduling difficulties meant we were unable to record part 2 of the VGL Awards this past week. We'll get there! We promise! In other news can you guys believe how much Franken content we have in the can? We talk a lot. A whole lot. Enjoy!

Good day listeners! It may be a little late, and a little short (because we broke it up into two parts), but we are proud to present the VGL Awards for 2023! Next week we'll have part 2 out. As you'll hear in the show, Rage was recovering from illness so he sounds a little less sultry than usual. We hope you enjoy the show, and we look forward to releasing the fun stuff that's at the bottom of the list next week!

Greetings listeners! We intended to record the VGL awards this week, but my power was out for almost 2 days and we were unable to do so. We'll be back next week to do that thing, and more !

Topics list:

For Show Date: 01/02/2024 

We have a pretty simple one this week! Just a gameclub discussion, some post holiday talk, and a few digressions. We will see you all next week for the VGL Awards for 2023!

1. December Gameclub: Wartales

     2. Next Gameclub: Steam World Build

This Week Jared's In-Laws were around, so we were not able to record. We'll be back next week for the Final Gameclub of 2023, and the first episode of the new year! We hope you all have a good one, and hope 2024 is better than 2023. (Jared Wrote this, so he's just slightly more hopeful still)
