Wardcast

Another week, another ‘cast. We found out who put up all those puzzles in The Witness, and we teach each other about puberty. It seems like everyone’s either met or beat up a musician as we discuss our personal predilections towards difficulty in games.

Games include The Witness, Tales from the Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3, XCOM 2, Rocket League, Gang Beasts, Jackbox Party Pack 2, Progress to 100, and Spelunky.

It’s been ten days since we’ve spoken to you good folks. Ten days! Watch out, we’ve all played Firewatch, and we’re a-gonna spoil it for you.

We also briefly chatter about Deadpool and the proliferation of British and Australian actors seeping into our great American film and television.

We discover Alex is a (virtual) mass murderer, and we hear tale of Tom Clancy’s Kid Icarus.

Games include Firewatch, Tales from the Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Helldivers, Gang Beasts, and Tom Clancy’s The Division.

Brandcenter people are taking over the podcast! James Gross, copywriter, is on the scene, and he’s here to listen to a bunch of nerds talk about video games.

We talk about profanity and iTunes mislabeling us as a clean lyrics podcast (we are not). We discuss more about Morning, our game from Global Game Jam 2016, and what we thought about the whole development process.

Everyone gets an earful about the greatness that is Desert Bus, and Alex talks about meeting Paul Simon.

What is the male counterpart to a witch: a wizard or a warlock? (It’s a warlock.)

Games include NHL 15, Firewatch, The Witness, XCOM 2, Life is Strange, and Frog Fractions.

We’re sorry to have missed you last week. The entire East Coast decided to take time off for the blizzard. But we’re back! And we got new audio equipment to help fill the void in your heart.

We talk about our work so far on our Global Game Jam game, and we discuss how game mechanics hold up over time as we catch up on our collective playthrough of Tales from the Borderlands.

Games include War of the Monsters, The Witness, Tales from the Borderlands, Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster, Rogue Legacy, Guacamelee!, and Tharsis.

Dan, we need to talk to you about something. Do you… do you play games? It’s just that, we talked about a lot of games this week — a lot of games — and you didn’t seem to have played any of them.

We basically covered Telltale’s back catalog plus a fair portion of indie titles over the last few years, and none of them rang a bell for you. Is… is everything alright? If you don’t play games, it’s okay. There’s no problem. We’re here for you.

We also need to talk to you about your unhealthy use of save ribbons.

Games include FTL: Faster Than Light, Fallout 4, Undertale, Tales from the Borderlands, The Wolf Among Us, and Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series.

It’s an action packed week, filled with complaining about Internet providers, helping Dan through reliving his Grepolis addiction, and figuring out whether or not we actually like Let’s Play videos.

Some people still haven’t beaten Undertale (Dylan), so we hold off on talking about the ending. Fortunately, there are other things to discuss: from the Activision Blizzard acquisition of MLG to the price announcement of the Oculus Rift.

Games include Undertale and Super Mario Maker.

Sirens shriek in the night as the guys talk about public utilities, arcades in breweries, and movies and music tastes. We also talk about how we each role-play in Fallout 4 and how the game has lost favor with Alex.

And one more thing: we try to think of our favorite gaming moments of 2015 and instead just show how bad our memories are.

Games include Rise of the Tomb Raider, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Super Mario Maker, Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series, Fallout 4, Undertale, and Jackbox Party Pack.

Dan, Alex, Mason, and Dylan come together to talk more Star Wars, including the holiday-appropriate Star Wars Christmas Special. With the month of December almost at an end, we’ve completed a trifecta of talking about holiday traditions, holiday gaming, and now holiday movies.

We also discuss Abraham Lincoln, inventor of Lincoln Logs, and Dylan Ilvento, inventor of TV reruns.

Whatever happened to Professor E. Gadd?

Games include Besiege, Fallout 4, Super Mario Maker, Rainbow Six: Siege, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.

This week, Wendy Rivera joins Dylan in a special cast straight from their apartment studio/studio apartment.

This is a warning to all listeners: this podcast is extremely spoilerific. We talk Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the beginning of Undertale, and the ending of Fallout 4. Tune out if you would prefer not to have these things spoiled for you.

Wendy also brings a bacon-infused beverage to taste-test, and we discuss super-sized breakfasts and minimalism in UI design.

We also contend with trash presents, our nonsensical families (whom we love very much), and the mean streets of Richmond.

Games include Monument Valley, Undertale, and Fallout 4.

Dan Cotting is back, folks! He’s here to talk with us about Ludum Dare 34, Unity engine lessons, and how Nintendo keeps ruining Mario Kart’s battle mode.

Dylan expresses his terror of the visage of upset Luigi, we share our favorite Barry Burton quotes, and we reflect on the changing opinions of games and other products in the long tail of their release.

Mason asks the group about their favorite gaming memories and traditions around the holiday season as well as our favorite console splash screens.

Games include Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
