Couch Podtatoes Episode 88: A Short Conversation with Izlain

May 30, 2016August 11, 2018 Izlain

Welcome back to another episode of the show. This weekend I spent some time out of town, and we didn’t really plan around that so I ended up just slapping together a short show for your listening pleasure. I talk about some free-to-play fuckery, announce the NBI, and cover some idiocy on the internet. I won’t say more or else I’ll spoil the show, as it’s rather short. Talking to yourself is rather weird but I hope it ended up sounding alright in the end! We’ll be back next week with our regularly scheduled news show. Until then, enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!

Couch Podtatoes Episode 85: Hot Podtatoe Headlines

May 6, 2016August 11, 2018 Izlain

Welcome back to weekly shows! As I mentioned the other day on Twitter, we are going back to a weekly schedule after a couple of months of biweekly shows.

“So, it’s been a couple of months that @couchpodtatoes has been operating on a bi-weekly schedule. This was due in part to busy schedules. It’s also hard coming up with something fresh to discuss every week. I know I was feeling a bit of fatigue when it came to being creative. We had an answer… we went biweekly and took on another co-host. But now we’re feeling re-energized. I personally was missing doing it every week. I love talking with my co-hosts. We also had some positive feedback recently and want to keep things going strong for our fans. So I’m happy to announce that Couch Podtatoes is going back to a weekly schedule. We’ll have something new for you this weekend, so keep an eye out for that. Our biweekly shows will remain the same with our other hosts. Thanks for dealing with our shit while we figured things out! And sorry for the spam!”

With that said, this is our first news/current events show, and we talk about everything and the kitchen sink. We also brought “Idiots on the Internet” back from the dead, and talk about a particularly infamous League of Legends streamer who was recently banned by Riot. Otherwise, it’s our usual rants and rambles. Let us know what you guys think about the new format ideas!

Couch Podtatoes Episode 44: Back to Tradition

May 8, 2015August 11, 2018 Izlain2 Comments

This week we’ve gone back to tradition, in that we are running our standard format that we’ve gotten away from for a few months now. We start with what we’ve been playing, jump into a shorter discussion on the perils of PC to Console (and vice versa) ports, talk about some idiots on the internet, and highlight the 2015 NBI newbies in our community spotlight. There really isn’t much more to say about it.

Couch Podtatoes Episode 30: The H1Z1 Controversy

January 23, 2015August 11, 2018 Izlain6 Comments

This week we’re taking a look at the controversy surrounding H1Z1’s launch. I happen to be playing the game as you all well know, and I happen to enjoy it, and don’t see what the big deal is. Eri is respectfully disagreeing with me on more than one issue, so we hash it out for a bit. Coincidentally, we’re also talking about another controversy that popped up during the week, where Heroes of the Storm went into Beta, and Blizzard decided to throw “founder’s packs” into the mix, adding more fuel to the already hateful Early Access fire. Count them for our Idiots on the Internet this week. Lastly we take a look at Aywren’s blog once again, where she wrote an interesting piece on storytelling in MMOs, and how mediocre it is these days. Let the battle begin. Fight!
