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 how to handle so many games coming out at once. With so many games releasing this spring it has been quite the undertaking.
We also talk about the games we’ve been playing this week: Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Triangle Strategy, and Tunic.
After that we take a moment to give some thoughts on the Halo and Cuphead TV shows.
This week the last rounds are fired in the Genesis SNES console war.
The soldiers are wheeled out onto the field by their caretakers, and they look around confused. All is quiet until, after their nap, the Genesisians notice a Mario blanket over the cold legs of a nodding SNESite. An insult is hurled, marking the beginning of the final battle.
After their second nap the fighting continues:
“You think Sonic goes fast? That’s nothing compared to your kids on visitation day.”
“Mario’s moustache looks better on your mother.”
Bodies slumped over and contorted in pain, the fighting ends. Glassy eyes reflecting the clouds as they pass silently overhead—never again to gaze upon the pixels they fought for.
The nurses wheel them back in.
This week we uhh… umm… we uhh… we something… Ah, that’s right we—no, that wasn’t it…
Have you seen Being There? It’s really an underdiscussed Peter Sellers film. I was just thinking about how if you read it as if his character is—That’s it! We were talking about how game series keep our interest.
After that we talk about more Pokemon Legends Arceus and Solar Ash.
This week we talk about which game from the 90s we think is the most influential. Blood was spilled, but it’s okay… we had another guy.
We also talk about a couple games we’ve been playing lately. We finally had the chance to talk about Halo Infinite, and Josh has been playing a ton of Final Fantasy 14.
This week we talk about our excitement level for a bevy of games slated to release in 2022. We each bring some personal choices we’re hyped for as well.
To round out the show, we talk about what we’ve been playing lately. Josh has been playing Final Fantasy 14, Rich has been rethinking Death Stranding with its director’s cut, and Shea has finally gotten around to playing Breath of the Wild.
Campers, welcome to another fun and exciting episode of Chomping After Dark. Being one of the most well-liked games by all three of us this year, we finally were able to sit down with Psychonauts 2 and talk about it in greater detail. Raz and crew get themselves into a jar of honey as they battle Maligula across memories. You know what? Just listen to the episode. We got you covered.
Welcome to another exciting episode! We decided to double up on December since we are taking a small break from the Chompcast, and we couldn’t think of a better way to do that than to talk about one of the more underrated games of this year: Dodgeball Academia!
A Pokemon-inspired story about a boy who wants to become a dodgeball champion and make many friends along the way, it’s a short, action-packed adventure from start to finish.
Check it out, and have a great holiday season from the crew here at Sword Chomp!
