Couch Podtatoes Episode 86: Consequences

CP4

Welcome back y’all! We had a supergroup episode planned for this week, where Eri and myself would not only be joined by Doone, but also Tacktix. Unfortunately Eri’s Internet has been out for a while, so she was unable to join us. As a result we changed the topic up a bit because the show we had planned was her brainchild. Still, we settled on talking about consequences in gaming, relating it to both in-game communities but also real life. There were some recent news stories that coincided well with the topic as well, so they were peppered among the discussion. We also had some issues with the recording software, which is nothing new for podcasters, so we ended up splicing a couple different takes together into one cohesive package. We tried out the Zencastr software which was rather reliable and may be what we use in the future, provided it continues to impress. Anyway, take a listen and as always thanks for your support!

Couch Podtatoes Episode 83: Diversity – How Are We Doing?

CP4

For this episode we are taking a look back at a topic we’ve covered before, though it was way back in our fifth episode. The topic is diversity, but whereas we were just cutting our teeth on the topic back then, this time around we’re asking: “How are we doing?” We touch on some recent news stories, politics, and a bunch of other things along with talking about what we’ve been playing. Doone’s back with us for this discussion, and we have some fun, share some laughs, and dig deep into the big issues of the day. A pretty typical Couch Podtatoes episode 🙂

Couch Podtatoes Episode 81: Love & Sex

CP4

Doone’s back for another round of the Digital Frontier. This time around we’re diving into the topic of love and sex. It was supposed to happen sometime in February since he likes to call that “the month of love” but all of us have had really busy schedules so we’ve been on a sort of bi-weekly schedule for the show recently. This is something I considered doing from now on, dropping to a bi-weekly schedule, but after talking about it with Eri we decided we want to stick to the weekly schedule. So thanks for bearing with us this past month, we’re going to nail down a new schedule and keep it going. We’re nearing two years of the show already, and it would be a shame to let it dwindle into obscurity. So yeah, it’s an interesting topic and we had some fun recording it. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. We’ll see you again in a week.

Couch Podtatoes Episode 79: Historical Accuracy

CP4

Doone’s back for another round of the Digital Frontier. This time around we’re diving into the topic of historical accuracy in games, and how this can be troublesome. In some cases it feels like we’re being lied to, and in some cases big portions of the truth are omitted to avoid offending people. It’s a touchy subject but we look at it from all angles. I also think I should make mention that I picked up a new headset recently, and this is the first time using it to record, so any feedback you have on my sound quality would be appreciated! That’s all for this week. Up next is another episode of Doone’s Digital Frontier as he has another topic he wants to share for the month of February. We’ll see you then!

Couch Podtatoes Episode 76: Save The Games

CP4

This week marks the return of Doone for a new season of Doone’s Digital Frontier. This time around we talk about how games can literally disappear due to them being treated as a service and not a product. We share anecdotes, random facts and more while poking fun at each other and everything else. You know, the usual for a Couch Podtatoes show. This episode also comes packed with 100% more dick jokes than usual, so don’t say you weren’t warned. We also highlight a cool project where a ton of old arcade and console games have been curated online, and think that more projects like this need to come to fruition. If you want to check out some classic games, all for free, visit the Internet Arcade at Archive.org. Thanks for listening!
