S.P.C.A.C. (Seriously Pointless Conversations About Culture)

You require more Vespene Gas. We talk Starcraft.

James and I ride alone this week as we discuss one of the ultimate Real Time Strategy games to come out in modern times, StarCraft.  James and I talk about how this classic game changed the competitive gaming scene, and even a country toward more than just a pass time, but into the beginnings of Esports. 
We also rundown the new for the month, which included:
1)All-new PlayStation Plus launches in June
2)Game Releases in April
3)Paralysed former firefighter beats Elden Ring by blowing into tubes
4)Game of Thrones Prequel Series House of the Dragon Premiere Date Revealed

Where’s my flashlight? We talk Alan Wake.

In this episode James and I are joined by Mike from Not Your Father's Movies Podcast, during which we talk about the new big boy on the block Elden Ring, the upcoming Pokemon game, the Underrated Steam Deck, and the Great Conjunction of Funimation and Crunchy Roll streaming services.  
We then take a brief stroll through the dreamscape which is the cult classic video game Alan Wake.  
A big thanks for Mike for hopping over and putting up with our ramblings.

A Tale About a Slime

Welcome back to the podcast. James and I make our triumphant return to recording ourselves acting like idiots for your enjoyment.  We talk about what we've been up to these last six or so months, then dive straight into the big Microsoft and Sony arms race of 2022. We stop off for a bit of lighter fair as we discuss the upcoming Halo tv show and the impact esports is having on the Asian market (is it good? is it bad? come find out.)  
We'll wrap up with a review of one of our favorite anime of the last couple years, "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime." A fun little anime that turns the isekai genre on its head, with tons of pointless battles and big boobs that do nothing for the main character.
We hope you all enjoy our return and here's to being back behind the mic.
Cheers.

That one‘s got a shield in its face.. Pokemon Sword and Shield

James and I chat with Asa from Podzilla1985 talk about Nintendo possibly bringing some of our favorite Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games to the switch, the Twitch boycott against hate raids, Sony being weird about updating their games, China's gaming restrictions shut down servers, and Sony is changing up their PS5 hardware, maybe for the worse. 
 
Then we move right along and discuss the highly contentious Pokemon Sword and Shield. We go into whether the game was good enough to be brought onto the Switch, and if it was ready to come start a new generation of Pokemon trainers.

Unrest in the MCU, Captain America: Civil War

In our season 3 premiere, Sirr from @MyMovieFixPodcast joins James and I as we delve into a discussion about the slightly contested Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: Civil War. Who's on the right side of the war, does Iron make any sense in this film, could we write a better ending? 
We also talk about some Big GamesCon 2021 announcements, Overwatch's McCree is being renamed, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer Shatters  24-Hour Viewership, a YouTuber Accuses Million-Dollar Retro Game Sales Of Being Scams, and  China Limits Online Videogames to Three Hours a Week for Young People.

Axiom Verge... and we forgot it was our anniversary episode?

The End of Season 2 and we forgot about it. 
James and I roll into this week's roundup discussing several items of news including; Pokémon United is coming to mobile, gaming auction house and the valuation companies are bad, Netflix's Magic the Gathering Series looks lost, Bethesda hires outside talent, and Studio 343 is pushing out an unfinished Halo Infinite. 
We then get into the wonderfully delightful indie game Axiom Verge solely created by Thomas Happ. This game is a nostalgia trip out the ying yang, as you travel through a unique take on the Metroid games of old. This game brings much warmth to my heart. 
Check it all out in this week's episode.

Arstotzka Forever! Papers, Please

Do you enjoy looking at the tiny little details and then rubber stamping the form DENIED! when one little thing is out of place? James and I delve into the wonderfully simple, yet ultimately complicated world of bureaucracy, in this week's review of Papers, Please. This game came out of left field, with the simple idea of what if you were a immigration officer in a dystopian country? Seems simple right, you are very wrong. This game starts slow but slowly lets the tension build through each stage until you can feel the anxiety in your bones.  But in a fun way.
We also talk some gaming news, most notably  the upcoming Xbox Game Pass list for this August and then Nintendo going after the little guy, who's just trying to illegally sell their old games.  
Check it all out in this week's episode.

Education Time with Cells at Work

James teaches me the intricacies of the human body in this week's episode as we talk about the part humorous,  part educational hit anime Cells at work.  James gives me the run down of what I have to look forward to in my old age as we cover the newest series to bare the name Cells at Work: Code Black, that welcomes us into the body of an older male (fun fact we talk about erections, Yay!) 
We also covered the news about the Pathfinder expansion that sets to give us two new classes, exciting. 
Along with hearing that we all might soon be able to get a Playstation 5 in the near future, as we talk GPU chip production supply lines. 
We hope you all enjoy this week's episode. 
Please Enjoy.

I'm a kitty kat.... Super Mario 3d World+Bowser's Fury

James and I change up the show a bit this week. We've added a news segment that is just as disjointed as our conversations. We discuss the video game industry news, the big Blizzard fallout (aka don't touch me there), the new Steam Deck (the Switch killer), Netflix gets into video games, and finally the announcement of Demon Slayer Season 2 coming this year.... Get Hyped!
We eventually make our way into the review of the recently released Super Mario 3d World+ Bowser's Fury.  James and I delve into the strange fascination of Mario in a cat suit; What's the deal with a grown man in a cat suit....
Check out this week's episode on Super Mario 3d World+ Bowser's Fury.
Please Enjoy.

Deflating the Dursley's with Dementors: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Jackie and I continue our Harry Potter series with the next logical step, the third book in the series; The Prisoner of Azkaban. We discuss the increasing angst levels as the kiddos begin growing up and dealing with the real Wizarding World more and more. How does Harry and the gang improve as characters, did J.K. Rowling make a better choice of giving Harry a new loving family only to later tear them away from him...... I have strong feelings. 
Check out this week's episode on Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
Please Enjoy.
