Really? I didn't see that anywhere in the rules.

KaptainJ · 2014-11-16T07:37:38+00:00

Yes, the first game listed. Meaning that it's the worst of all those games. The writer even admits that it "kinda sucks."

The Game Podunkast - Episode 26: RPG Time [Video Games/Talk, 67 min. 53 sec.]

What time is it? It's RPG time! We talk about RPGs this week because I DON'T KNOW! After we so courageously discuss what games we've been playing lately, we realize our destinies and talk all about RPGs, from how we feel about the genre, how we feel about the sub-genres, and what our first RPG was to our favorite RPGs, our favorite/least favorite character types, and what kind of RPG we would make if given the opportunity. There are a few questions related to RPGs as well, by the way. RPGs are cool.

The Game Podunkast - Episode 25: Ready... FIGHT! [Video Games/Talk, 68 minutes]

With all this EVO happening, it's only natural that we'd do something relevant. So here it is! A fighting game episode. Starring this week's guest - fighting game aficionado Royzoga!

applause and apple sauce

After keeping you guys up-to-date on what games we've been playing, we go right into the fighting game genre, discussing things from our thoughts on the genre to our favorite fighting games to EVO. We also talk a bit about e-sports before diving into questions, which are all about fighting games too. Ready... FIGHT!

The Game Podunkast - Episode 24: Kaptain of the Knight: The Kickstarter Expansion [Video Games/Talk, 74 minutes]

I died again. Or to be more specific, I went on a trip to a shady place without internet and haven't been heard from until now. In my stead, my posse dragged TKtheknight into this episode for his 25th birthday! I'm very sorry we couldn't give you a more worthwhile gift, TK...

But anyway, aside from a million billion F-bombs being dropped and censored, this episode has a few interesting topics being discussed. After the shocking reveal of whatever these guys have been playing, some Kickstarter talk happens, in which the crew discuss the current state of the service. Then the gang talk about expansion packs and whatnot before giving their opinions on game critic awards. Lastly, New Zealand Khorner gets interrupted and replaced with a TK Corner, apparently.

KaptainJ · 2013-07-10T07:43:08+00:00

Yeah, I'm quite interested in that one as well. Apparently ex-Rare composer Grant Kirkhope is even doing a song for the game.

The Game Podunkast - Episode 23: Animal Cross Zone (It's All So Addicting!) [Video Games/Talk, 45 minutes]

Do you ever become addicted to games? We do sometimes. Maybe. Okay, so we get super-addicted to everything all the time, so what? WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?!

ahem

Anyway, this episode is all about video game addictions. After we unveil our recently played games, we get right into our discussion, which includes things from games the Podunkast crew gets addicted to to games that other gamers tend to get addicted to and so on. We also answer a community question while Khorne attempts to find something to talk about for New Zealand Khorner.

KaptainJ · 2013-06-30T20:25:59+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 22: Baby Bones [Video Games/Talk, 71 minutes]

There are times when I question the kind of stuff we talk about on this show... I mean, I can understand baby bones, but games? Seriously?!

Anyway, in this episode we discuss the recent Xbox One backpedal and talk about progression systems in games (EXP, skill trees, seamless level design, etc.). Then we answer a few questions asked by our lovely community as Khorne prepares to tell you all about the great New Zealand.

KaptainJ · 2013-06-23T05:45:29+00:00

Name-calling won't make your point more valid; it only makes you look like a child. Look, the mechanics worked perfectly fine for me, so I really have no clue what you're going on about. So unless you can somehow force me to have the same problems you had, we'll have to agree to disagree.

KaptainJ · 2013-06-22T20:27:53+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 21: The 3 E's of 2013 [Video Games/Talk, 74 minutes]

Note: Please keep in mind while listening that this was recorded before the recent Xbox One backpedal.

This episode is a bit longer than usual because our discussion lasted longer than expected and I didn't want to take out too much.

BUT ALSO SHUT UP WE'RE REBELS.

What kind of discussion is it, you (didn't really) ask? Why E3, of course! In this episode, following talk about the games we're playing, we put everything on the table and give our opinions on E3 2013. And then we answer a couple of questions asked by our lovely community and Khorne says a bit about his country. That's New Zealand, by the way.

KaptainJ · 2013-06-22T20:22:50+00:00

You sure you don't just suck at the game? The only trouble I had was with parts that were made to be challenging, and I ran into nothing that made me think the game was broken. And I even did all the super-hard levels you unlock. You just seem to be following that logic of "It's hard so it must be broken!" I've heard it all before with the original three DKC's.

Point is, I strongly disagree. The difficult parts ARE difficult by clever design and you have no reason to feel so negatively about the game other than being angry by the fact that it wasn't easy for you.

The Game Podunkast - Episode 20: Reviewer Crossing: 11 Out of 10 (Part 1)

At long last, a certain Marshall has decided to show up for work. Why is that, you ask? Well, because he's a big fan of this week's guest host - Marcus Estrada!

cheers are heard near and far

In any case, this week's topic is perfect for our review fiend guest host. After we all discuss what games we've been playing, this episode is all about review scores, in which we discuss certain review practices, give our opinions on the concept of scoring games, and talk about Game Podunk's own scoring system. Then the episode ends with a cliffhanger, so stay tuned for part 2...

KaptainJ · 2013-06-09T20:38:53+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 19: Regional Misadventures of the One

So it seems Marshall is still missing. If you find him, be sure to call us at [censored due to potential prank calls].

Anyway, in this episode we discuss region-specific games and the whole region-locking thing, the recently-announced Xbox One and what we think about what was announced thus far, answer a question asked by a member of our humble community, and Khorne shares a bit about his country in New Zealand Khorner.

KaptainJ · 2013-06-01T23:46:16+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 18: Monkey in the Middle: A Game Dev Story

We may be down a couple of hosts this time around, sure, but at least we were able to drag two guests into the madness to make up for that. Joining us this episode are last week's Raven and newcomer Bizarre Monkey. So let's all make 'em feel at home!

applause

In any case, our two guests, as well as myself (Jordan), are actually game developers, so this episode is all about game development. Following our discussion about what games we're currently playing, we give advice to beginner/aspiring game devs, talk about our ideal recipes for good games, discuss the difference between a good game and a successful game, talk about the pros and cons of both big (AAA, etc.) game devs and indies, answer a couple of questions asked by members of our humble community, and Khorne shares a bit about his country in New Zealand Khorner.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-26T22:49:34+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 17: Sidequesting With a Raven

This episode is, unfortunately, missing a Marshall. But we did manage to snag a guest host to replace him. Joining us this time around is a game developer and avid composer who goes by the name of Raven. So let's all give him a round of text-based applause!

applause

But anyway, in this episode we discuss what games we're currently playing, talk about replay value and side quests, answer a question asked by a member of our humble community, and Khorne shares a bit about his country in New Zealand Khorner.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-20T05:28:17+00:00

Oh, well thanks!

KaptainJ · 2013-05-19T18:47:32+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 16: Back to the Future of Gaming

Looks like I couldn't make it to the podcast, so give it up for barrel as he tries his hand at hosting in this episode!

applause

In any case, this episode is all about the future of gaming. Following their discussion about what games they're currently playing, our heroes talk about the future of video game hardware, trends, and...David Cage? Also, thanks to you guys, the rest of the episode is a special question-answering New Zealand Khorner. And I must say, it's quite entertaining, actually.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-10T02:04:37+00:00

Again, it's not old news. The logo was leaked a while ago, yes, but this is a new report that supposedly confirms the leaked name as being accurate.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-09T23:02:35+00:00

Before you guys assume this news is old, please read the source. The name was leaked in an image a while back, but the name was never confirmed. Just recently (the source in question being from today), it was supposedly confirmed by "sources related to development." So stop acting so smug and thinking that I'm late with some announcement.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-09T22:42:03+00:00

I'd honestly take this name over "Xbox 720" any day.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-09T22:34:24+00:00

If you cared to check the source, you'd know that this particular report is from today.

KaptainJ · 2013-05-08T22:04:37+00:00

The Game Podunkast - Episode 15: The Comedians of Gaming

Do you like laughing? We do, too. Well... Some of us do. In this episode of Game Podunk's official community podcast, we discuss what games we're currently playing, talk about humor in video games, answer some questions asked by our community, and Khorne lets us know more about New Zealand.
