With the Chompcast, we aim to deliver an insightful and unique perspective on gaming as we talk about our experiences with the games we play, recent gaming news that most affects our interests, and philosophical issues encompassing everything that involves video gaming.
This week we talk about games with our favorite casts of characters. We get into heated arguments over what should be at the top. Which game is it, and why is the entire list Final Fantasy games?
After that we discuss what we’ve been playing this week: God of War: Ragnarok, This Way Madness Lies, Bugsnax, Haiku the Robot, Dome Keeper.
Whoaaaaaaa Nelly, we got a heater of an episode this week! We discussed The Bechdel Test, if it is applicable to gaming, and what games successfully pass the Bechdel Test. We talked about a TON of games: Psychonauts 2, Twelve Minutes, Tales of Arise demo, Plague Tale: Innocence, A Link to the Past, and Super Mario World. It was that time of the month as we shouted out our wonderful Patrons. We wrapped up this lovely show with our social media polls!
There are spoilers during the Twelve Minutes talk. If you haven’t played the game yet, please use the time stamps to skip that portion of the conversation.
Welcome everyone to this week’s episode of the Chompcast! We decided to discuss our favorite couples in gaming in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. Afterwards, we discussed the games that we have been playing, such as Cyber Shadow and Super Mario 3D World: Bowser’s Fury. We rounded up the show with two weeks’ worth of polls and Rich’s rendition of the CD Projekt Red ransom note sent to them. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
TGS! Spiderman! Playstation Classic! Moral choices! All that and more are featured in this week’s episode of the Chompcast. We discuss some of the most difficult moral choices that we have made in gaming to date. With the return of Shea, we finish the Playstation Classic conversation as we eagerly await subsequent announcements of what games will be on the system. We manage to fit in some last-minute Spiderman conversation. We catch up with Shea, as he spent last week at Tokyo Game Show. We end the show with the Patreon shout-outs to our lovely subscribers. Thank you to you, the listener, and chomp on!
