Fan-Made: From Games to Animations

Gumshoe’s Gamer Podcast S3-ep10 (ft. Clay Entertainment)

When it comes to fandom, things can get a little messy. However, what fans or a community can make is often something to take notice off. Whether its a fan-game like AM2R or Sonic Before the Sequel or some type of Machinima, it’s important to look at these works and the talent behind them. So on this episode Nick (Clay Entertainment) and myself will be talking a bit about them!

Narratives in Video Games and Why They Matter

Gumshoe’s Gamer Podcast S3-ep7 (ft. Celeste form Capes and Corsets)

Games are not all about the gameplay but also the story. This one aspect can often be overlooked unless its a story heavy game. So today on the podcast we will be talking about how games tell their story while looking a few examples such as Persona 5, Metroid Prime, and Animal Crossing. I hope you all enjoy…

RE 2: Mr. X does his Tactics

Gumshoe’s Gamer Podcast S3-ep3 (ft. Spongebrain)

Tactics games such as “Advance Wars” have been absent from the gaming sphere for quite some time. Sure there are a bunch of tactical RPGs but nothing that is just like those “Advance Wars” games. Then here comes WarGroove to offer fans what they were looking for. So this begs the question, why do people like Tactics games and even, what is the difference between Tactics and Strategy? Well, join us as we talk about that very thing, and ramble a bit about RE 2.

That’s what we call, a Steamy Situation

Gumshoe’s Gamer Podcast S3-ep2 (ft. Dylan The Knight Owl)

Steam is a great site to buy games for the PC but while it is not the only place to buy games, it is often seen as the ONLY place to do that. With over 30,000 games and 90million monthly users, it’s easy to see why people often think so. However, with growing popularity comes growing concern and growing problems. So sit back and relax while me and my guest, Dylan the Knight Owl, talk about Steam and other random junk!

Bandersnatch: The Game, The Film, The Book

Gumshoe’s Gamer Podcast S3-ep1 (ft. SpongeBrain)

With the rise of more story-driven games people often say it’s like watching a film. Well with the Black Mirror special, “Bandersnatch” now it’s a film that is also a game maybe?? Oh well, It is about a game maker so I guess it counts. Today on the podcast we will talk about Bandersnatch as well as, Fornite (really?), Overwatch drama, and Last Night.
