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 discuss how delayed games can maintain momentum. In the process we manage to wander off topic and talk about B games for a while.
We also discuss what we’ve been playing this week: Mario Golf: Super Rush, Ender Lilies, Biomutant, Resident Evil Village, Trace Memory, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and Umurangi Generation.
This week we are joined by a new contributor to our Articles section of the site: Ray McGill. To get to know him a little, we talk about his favorite JRPGs.
The topic this week is what game we’d like to have Eternal Shunshined right out of our domes (to experience again for the first time), and how much we’d pay to do it.
Dear listeners, welcome to our newest episode! We sat down with our special guest and friend, Ivan, to discuss LGBTQ representation in gaming and gaming culture. We asked him some questions to get a deeper understanding and perspective this multi-faceted issue. Is there enough representation in gaming? Is there a specific way gaming journalists should talk about LGBTQ in gaming? What can you do when you haven’t been as inclusive in the past and are feeling guilty for your mistakes? All of these questions and more are discussed in this delightful episode.
And if that’s not enough, we also discussed Chicory, Roguebook, Phantom Abyss, and Biomutant. We also revealed the results of the social media polls, and we rounded up the show with our monthly Patreon shout-outs.
Thank you for checking out the show, and enjoy!
Whoa Nellie! On this week’s episode of the Chompcast, we went over E3: most of the showcases, many of the games, and our personal feelings and excitement regarding the announcements. We decided that it wasn’t enough as we discussed the games we played the past week, which included Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and Island of Minutes. You would think that we wrapped up the show there, right? WRONG! We also discussed the results of this week’s gaming polls. We hope that you enjoyed E3 as much as we did! Happy gaming and catch you next week for a very special episode.
Hello everyone! Welcome to part 2 of this week’s episode. The topic of the week was, “What makes a voice acting performance in gaming great?” While we are all long-time fans of the gaming medium, we needed a bit of expert help to truly answer the question. We couldn’t think of anyone better than our friend Zack Wilson, the host of the VisionCon TV podcast.
Join us as we parse out the make-up of a stellar performance backed by some of our favorite performances in gaming!
Also, if you are interested in checking out more of Zack’s work, please head to their website here, their YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
And lastly, if you are interested in checking out the podcast episode that Shea mentioned regarding 4:33 at the beginning of the show, please head here!
Welcome to the most recent episode of the Chompcast! It’s so great to have you here. In part 1 of this special 2-part episode, we discussed the games we played this past week: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission, Biomutant, and Backbone. We also discussed our social media poll results, and boy were they fun! Check back in a few days for part 2 where we discuss what makes up a wonderful voice acting performance!
This week on the Chompcast, while Josh is away on family vacation, Shea and Rich decided to discuss a hot issue: should remasters and remakes of video games be considered for personal and published GOTY lists? They also discussed more of their time with Biomutant, a cute game from Experiment 101. Rich talked about his time with Necromunda: Hired Gun, the new Doom-inspired Warhammer game. And last, but certainly not least, they discussed the results of the social media polls.
This week we talk about difficulty curves in games, Mass Effect Legendary Collection, Resident Evil Village, Famicom Detective Club, and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth.
Also, I wrote in my notes that the picture and title should have something to do with Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, but I have no idea what that was supposed to be in reference to… if anyone can figure that out, I’d appreciate knowing what my own brain was thinking at the time.
This week we discuss the value of being a part of the zeitgeist. With so many new games coming out, it’s impossible to keep up with everything. Is it worth trying, or should we just relax?
Speaking of… We give our first thoughts on Resident Evil Village, as well as a plethora of other new games: Before Your Eyes, Wreckfest, Adios, Kaze and the Wild Masks.
Hello everyone! Normally, a new episode of the Chompcast would be going up at around this time. This past weekend, when we normally would have been recording the newest episode, we sat down as the four of us to have a much-needed business meeting to plan out the next stages of Sword Chomp.
In place of the Chompcast, we decided to drop the newest episode of the Chomping After Dark onto this feel for a one-time event. We feel that this episode is a really great entry point into the show, as it’s an older game and it’s one that many people have memories of.
We are dropping our newest episode of Chomping After Dark. This time, we decided to go waaaaaaaaaaay back to bring you our thoughts on a game from our childhood: Pokemon Blue, Red, and Yellow. Magical games, they were. Join the crew as they break down the story and relive the glory days of their childhood.
Hey everyone! Since we are on the cusp of April Fool’s Day, we figured that it was a good time to drop our yearly show that we do. We compile some of the funniest voice messages from our private WhatsApp chat between the four of us and throw them all into one podcast.
This show has been available for the Patrons for the past 4 months, and now we are making it available for everyone to enjoy. Have a laugh, and don’t play too many mean pranks this year!
We did it. We finally debuted the Chompcast live. On this week’s episode, we did the Chompcast live on Twitch! It’s been a long time coming, and it was an absolute blast to record.
We discussed how Covid-19 has affected our gaming lives this past year. We discussed Black Legend, Warcave’s newest strategy RPG game. We also managed to squeeze in Deep Rock Galactic. Morgan can’t resist with his ridiculous social media polls. We wrapped up the show with our Patreon poll and shout-outs!

Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s episode of the Chompcast!
We dispensed from our usual light-hearted topic of the week to discuss something that has been on our mind since the events of last year: black representation in video games and the video gaming medium. Is the level and kind of representation in gaming sufficient and inclusive? Is there a lot of work that needs to be done to be more inclusive (spoiler alert: yes)?
We were also joined by friend and guest, Marcus Worrell to offer some much-needed insight into the subject.
On this episode of the Chompcast we kick Rich to the curb to make room for our guest Leslie Morales (Sector 7 Item Shop). We talk about the announcement for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and play fuck marry kill with Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.
To round things out, Josh and Shea discuss their time with squirrel espionage action game, Nuts.
Enjoy the show!
