Ep. 206: Adding Appeal To "Boring" Jobs! Archeology!09 Sep 202400:33:00
Hey there! Throughout media certain jobs have been made to look more appealing then they actually are. There is more drama and gun fights thrown in to add to the mystery of what the job actually entails. Whether is Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge, or fighting a giant Trex in a cave like Tomb Raider the job has a lot of added flourish. But is this a bad thing? Is this just escapism at its finest. And how many people have been introduced to these jobs through media and have made it their life's passion to go into the field.

Hey Cubies! We dive through more lore and mythos in this weeks episode. This time we are looking at India. When doing research for this episode we learned some rather interesting things about the portrayal of gods in games.

Ep. 114: Lore And Mythos In Video Games! Greece!05 Dec 202200:47:04
Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another mini-series here! We are diving into the mythos and lore used in video games. Looking at how accurate they are, and why they might be used as often as they are. To kick out this series we are diving into the mythos of Greece. Greek mythology is rather well known and understood by many. It is easy to latch onto and give game designers plenty of inspiration to sink their teeth into.  With the success of God Of War Ragnarok it felt only right to start with the roots of this franchise. So let's dive into greek lore in video games! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 113: The Evolution Of Video Game Journalism!28 Nov 202200:52:59
Hey Cubies! There has been a lot of changes in video game journalism since the 70s when the first magazine was published. We have seen how things change and evolve through printed word, to early internet blogs, to reader feedback fueled forums and video format reviews. When looking back it is really amazing how much things have changed, especially when you start to think that there has never been a clear cut way of writing about video games. While things have changed throughout the years due to readers responses, some believe that the way video game journalism is handled now is wrong. That it needs to looked at a restructured due to the toxic style it has taken on. But that nature is also the beauty of it, through our interactions with this media source we have changed it countless times and we can do that again, hopefully for the better.  -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 107: Evolution Of Horror! Found Footage Horror Games!17 Oct 202200:45:45
Hello Cubies! It is spooky month and we are kicking it off with a genre that is really starting to pick up steam. That is the found footage horror games.  We have seen this idea played out in films countless times ever since Blair Witch showed us just. how terrifying it really can be. But something interesting happens when its a video game rather than a movie. It becomes so much more intense. As a player you are now forced to walk that path instead of being carried along. And some designers are really pushing this idea in some interesting ways.

We open hot this episode with some super great tech issues with Game Pass.  But dive head first into the world of simulation games with inZOI. If you have not seen this game it looks insane! The character creator alone is so realistic its slightly uncomfortable.

Ep. 106: A Deeper Look At Mother 3! And More GBA Games!10 Oct 202200:47:38
Hello Cubies! We recently did an episode where we dove into some fantastic GameBoy games. But there was one game on our list that we did not get a chance to really play. So we decided to play some more and talk about it now. That game is Mother 3, it is the final installment in the Earthbound series and what an amazing game it is. The story is fantastic and really tugs at your heart strings in some very memorable ways. We also discuss some other games that have caught/re-caught our eyes from the GBA. Ever since that episode there has been a slight obsession with the games on this amazing handheld.  -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 105: For The Beauty Of Randomizers!03 Oct 202200:34:11
Hello Cubies! We have a bit of a bite sized episode for you today. We wanted to talk about the gaming phenomenon known as randomizers. A randomizer takes your favorite game and shuffles locations, items and enemies to give the player a unique new experience. This is an amazing tool for players that know these games like the back of their hands, it breaths new life into these games and creates situations that not even the original designers could have foreseen ! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 104: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial! Is It Really The Greatest Gaming Failure?26 Sep 202200:44:59
Hello Cubies! Failure is something that we all fear. We think that if we fail then there is no progression forward. But is that really the case? ET is known as the worst game in history and is even blamed for the video game crash of 1983. How can one game bring down an entire industry? Or is it just a scapegoat for poor decisions made by Atari at the time.

Ep. 103: Gameboy ReHash! What Handheld Treasures Await!19 Sep 202200:58:37
Hello Cubies! This week we wanted to take a look back at the Gameboy and all of it's glory. Looking back at the games made for these consoles, there are so many classics and just down right surprising games. So we decided to play two games, one was a game we played in the past to see if it still holds up and the other is one we always wanted to play but never got to. And we were both shocked by some of the graphics, music or even scope of the these handheld treasures!   -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 102: Drinking The Kool-Aid! Cult Gaming!12 Sep 202200:46:48
Hello Cubies! This week we dive into the world of cult games. And we are not talking about cult classics, we are discussing the games that have cults as their central theme. Each one of the games we discuss take this theme and present it in a very different way. From roguelikes like Cult Of The Lamb,  to card games like Cultist Simulator themes can be presented in some amazing ways. So, sit back and listen to our sermon on cult games! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 101: Philosophy Of Bioshock Part 2! When Collectivism Goes Too Far!05 Sep 202200:51:26
Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun episode. This week we continue our discussion from two week ago. We began to talk about the philosophy that inspired the Bioshock series. We conclude that conversation here with Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite. It is clear that when 2 was created they wanted to have a perfect mirror to the original title. After the events of the first game we see what ideals have begun to flourish in Rapture, and the main one is collectivism.

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun filled week! In celebration of the mini series we are doing on our other show The Murder Of Gray Podcast, we are diving into the world of philosophy. When looking at themes in games we can see different philosophical lessons being fed to us in ways that we can easily digest. Not only are games entertaining to play but they allow us to be fully immersed in a world that we may not experience in our day to day lives. Through these games we learn about ourselves and the experience of others.

Ep. 97: Themes/Tropes That Just Wont Die!08 Aug 202200:47:48
Hello Cubies! We are back another week with an interesting episode for you. Through out games there are many titles that have the same theme or driving force behind them. It has gotten to the point for some titles that the main reason for the quest is not interesting or is almost an after thought for most players. The question here is, is this a bad thing? Or is it important to have a simple story/theme to bring people in and capture a wider audience? Are these ideas "played out" because we have played too many games? Let's find out!

Ep. 96: VR! The Future Of Social Interaction?01 Aug 202200:54:22
Hello Cubies! We have discussed some interesting ideas over the past couple years but there are a couple that have really stuck out to us. Those being the ones that we talk about social situations in gaming. It. is always interesting to dive into these topics because they are so misunderstood, or mis-represented. VR meet ups are becoming more and more popular and are falling to the scrutiny that chat rooms have encountered for years. Am I really talking to who they say they are? But is that really important? Is that the point of VR meet ups, or is it an interesting opportunity to be someone you are not and escape your. day to day life? -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 93: The Forgotten Gems Of The Xbox! Otogi, Scrapland and Phantom Dust!11 Jul 202200:50:56
Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun and exciting week of games! This time we hop into our time machine to revisit some forgotten gems from the original Xbox. From the massive Duke controller to all the shooters on the platform this was not a system that we really dove into in our youth. But there are some amazing titles that were looked over and deserve their recognition. Games like Otogi, American McGee's Scrapland and Phantom Dust! There are other obscure titles that really pushed the system and have created a cult following now a days but these titles felt like they pushed things a little further. It is interesting because now we look at indie titles to be innovative and change things up, but that was not always the case. So enjoy these titles and who knows you might find a new favorite here! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 92: Can Games Actually Be Art?04 Jul 202200:40:51
Hello Cubies! This week we tackle a statement that we say at the start of every episode. In our intro we discuss "the art of games" but there are those that would disagree with that statement. One of those individuals is Roger Ebert, a critically acclaimed critic. Many will know his name, but some may not know that he had a very strong view point when it came to video games. His claim is that games can never be art and we not see anything that will change his mind on that. We obviously disagree with this statement but you also have to look at when this was said. It was in 2010 before a lot of games that have pushed the envelop and have shown us what they can be. But what do you think? is there truth behind his statement? Or was he just biased? -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 91: For The Love Of Mechanics!27 Jun 202200:55:09
Hello Cubies! In the past we have dissected many mechanics and showcased how they can be used differently in many games. This week we discuss some mechanics that may be easily overlooked, but make games so memorable when used properly. Some of these mechanics may be easily forgotten and just fade into the background. But does that mean that they are actually bad? Or does that mean that they are actually genius? Does good design fade, or does it stick out at the player?

It is that time once again! It is Summer Game Fest!  There are so many interesting games showcased and we are excited to dive into them.

Ep. 88: Gaming Through Autism! How Games Can Help!06 Jun 202200:48:22
Hello Cubies! This weeks episode is one that really means a lot to the both of us. Games have always had a bad rap when it comes to how they can be beneficial for development. But in the past we have tried to change that stigma by showing how they can be helpful for things like depression, PTSD, and inclusivity. This week we will be discussing the benefits of gaming when it pertains to autism. And we were lucky enough to chat with a parent that discussed some of the effects they have seen on their little one as they journey through games.    -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Ep. 87: Anti-Glorification Of War!30 May 202200:46:07
Hello Cubies! War is a difficult thing to talk about, to experience and to capture in media. You can portray the emotions that are felt in difficult situations but getting people to fully grasp the reality oof the situation is almost impossible. So just like the movies, video games have hyper realized the experience of war. They have made the players feel like immortal heroes fighting for the cause. Creating a delusion that hides the truth oof war. Luckily there are some games that aim to capture the true emotions in war. They are not afraid to show the moral implications of battle and deserved to be played, studied and appreciated. So let's dive right in to this weeks episode, the anti-glorification of war! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.
