103: THIQUE

Monday, October 31, 2022 • Duration 50:35

Happy Halloween! To close out spooky season, AudioNerd and Big Nkrumah are talking about the horrific allegations surrounding the imminent release of Bayonetta 3 and the scary (not really) prospect of James Gunn taking over the DC film universe. Also, have you noticed how queer Apex Legends and Destiny are? We certainly have! With the launch of Apex Legend's newest trans character, Catalyst, and Destiny's latest season featuring a queer mom, we decided it was time to talk about it. What are the benefits and limitations of queer representation in these games? You'll have to listen to hear the answer [spoiler alert: there is no answer]. Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support. Make sure to give us a rating and review, follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/gamerfriendspod), Discord (https://discord.gg/ZKepzNA), or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gamerfriendspod/?hl=en), support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/gamerfriendspodcast?fan_landing=true), and tell your gamer friends about the show!

028: Flat Stanley

Sunday, March 17, 2019 • Duration 01:07:55

Your Gamer Friends are back at it! “Logging On” gets a little derailed by Anthem-induced stress, but we manage to dive into Devil May Cry 5’s launch, Steam’s most recent controversy, EA’s mishandling of their influencer program, an #E32019 update, Nintendo Labo’s newest offering, Fortnite lawsuit news, Swimsanity’s beta, and the AFL-CIO’s open letter to the video game industry.

“These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we officially stan Brie Larson and Captain Marvel, Big Nick shares some geeky theme park news, and we get to ask AudioNerd if he finally watched Titans (for a fourth episode in a row).

Finally, on “The Homescreen,” Anthem’s failures have led us to greener pastures in EA’s catalogue, including our continued obsession with Apex Legends, Big Nick’s first foray into the Mass Effect universe, and AudioNerd’s first go at Titanfall 2.

Thank you so much for listening! We really appreciate the support. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter, give us a rating or review, and tell your gamer friends about the show! Catch you in two weeks!

027: Freeze and Retrieve

Thursday, February 28, 2019 • Duration 01:22:38

This week on Gamer Friends we’re getting into ALL OF THE GAMES that have come out since we’ve last spoke to y’all. It’s a lot. After that we get into all of the Nintendo news including the Nintendo Direct presentation, Reggie Fils-Aime leaving the company and Xbox Game Pass (allegedly) coming to Switch (!!!).

After that we’re getting nerdy with some iconic black films, Black Panther and Into the Spider-Verse. We’re getting into all of the cancellations both Marvel and DC has seen and we take a trip down memory lane with Legos!

The second half is all Homescreen and we touch on Sea of Thieves and Apex Legends. We deep dive into Anthem and we give our (hopefully) fair and nuanced review of the game now that it has finally launched (for the second time).

Thanks for listening! As always please rate, review and subscribe if you like the show but most importantly, tell a Gamer Friend! We’ll see y’all in two weeks.

026: This Game Looks Gross

Friday, February 15, 2019 • Duration 01:19:02

On a jam packed episode of Gamer Friends, your hosts are “Logging On” by discussing the near-flawless Apex Legends launch, the recent Jump Force, Anthem, and Division 2 betas, layoffs at Activision Blizzard, Swimsanity’s upcoming public debut, the new Assassin’s Creed III remaster, Metro Exodus’s switch to Epic, and cross-platform play via Xbox Live is apparently incoming.

“These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” AudioNerd still sucks and hasn’t watched any DC content, but he’s excited to hear about the newly announced Aquaman spinoff and sequel. In Marvel news, we got some new footage from Endgame and Captain Marvel, but we won’t be looking at it. Instead, we’ll focus on the upcoming Marvel animated series, Disney’s decision to put current Foxprojects on ice, and finally, RIP Mr. Oreo.

Lastly, in “Party Chat,” we have a repeat-but-not-really guest joining us to go into the weeds on the games we’ve been playing together, including Apex Legends, Anthem, and The Division 2, plus discussing Resident Evil 2’s remaster as GOTY contender!

Thanks for joining us for Gamer Friends! If you liked what you heard, please rate, review, and tell a few of your gamer friends about the podcast! See you all in two weeks.

025: Switch Spectacular!

Thursday, January 31, 2019 • Duration 01:34:08

Gamer Friends is back with the hottest takes from the Anthem VIP Demo! But before we get to The Homescreen, your hosts are Logging On with the launch of Resident Evil 2’s remaster, a Cyberpunk 2077 staffing shake-up, promising news from the Game Developers Conference, and a return to the debate over Sea of Thieves: is it good now?

These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom, Big Nick is still crying over the Steven Universe finale, AudioNerd has failed to watch anything on the DC streaming service, and both of your Gamer Friends have slacked on the Marvel TV universe. Finally, some troubling news comes out of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker movie.

As promised, we go into the weeds on the Anthem VIP Demo in The Homescreen. But that isn’t our only promise fulfilled. In Party Chat, our first ever returning featured guest, best friend of the show and her husband (also up there in the rankings), SaraWithAStar and House Trotter! We’re talking everything Switch, including more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overcooked 2, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Tennis Aces.

024: Crunchy Footsteps

Saturday, January 19, 2019 • Duration 01:08:46

We’re back from the holiday break and from being sick! Although we’re sliding into your feeds a late this week, we got a jam-packed show for y’all. First up, we’re Logging On with Bungie, Anthem, EA fumbling the Star Wars bag, Sony playing nice with Rocket League, Second Dinner’s new Marvel announcement and Assassin’s Creed DRAMA!

There’s a lot going on the world of nerdiness and we’re diving in with all the Spider-Man news including Spider-Verse and Far From Home. We’re also chugging along on the #EndgameConspiracyTrain and Nick is shady towards DC (as per usual).

In the Party Chat, we’re getting into all the games we played over the break and debate whether one of them was even a game in the first place.

Wednesday, January 2, 2019 • Duration 01:08:39

Your Gamer Friends are starting off the new year diving right into a discussion on our Top 3 picks for Game of the Year. We’re keeping the show notes sparse this week so we don’t ruin the surprise and trust us, the conversation is full of them.

022: Blowing Up Consoles

Thursday, December 20, 2018 • Duration 01:37:03

On the penultimate episode of 2018, your Gamer Friends get a little goofy. “Logging On,” we’re talking Super Smash Bros, recapping The Game Awards (including trailers for Journey to the Savage Planet, Rage 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3, and Far Cry: New Dawn), surprised by leaked player numbers for the PS4, happy to see another Fortnite dance lawsuit, and outline some new competitors to Steam on PC.

Next up on “These Past Two Weeks in Nerdom,” we come to terms with the furry uprising and the new Sonic movie poster and put AudioNerd in the hot seat over the epic “Elseworld” Arrowverse crossover event. Naturally, we discuss the second Captain Marvel trailer as well as the (incredible!) first teaser for Avengers: Endgame. Finally, your hosts engage in what is effectively under-hyping “Into the Spider-Verse,” the greatest Spider-Man movie to date.

Last but not least, get excited for another interview, this time with Khalil and Ahmed, the developers of the upcoming multiplayer action extravaganza that is Swimsanity. We dive into a deep discussion on the duo’s favorite games, and how they inspire them now as developers.

Thanks to all of you for the love and support! We’ll be back in two weeks with our final episode of 2018 — and it’s a big one!
