Video Game Logic Podcast

This week Jared's kid had a school event so we couldn't record an episode. Enjoy some franken content that's relatively recent rather than from several months ago. We intend to record again next week, with the only upcoming planned week off being the week of Christmas. 

This week Rage and Shrink go Vroom in the latest entry to a series that is nearly as old as they are. Its also nearly as cringy too. We also dunk on Starfield some more, and talk badly about currency exchange.  Do you have feedback for the show, have a response for something we said, or something we should know about?

We've got a mishmash of several (mostly) shorter Franken Segments in order to clean up some of the old Episodes hanging in the backlog folder. We hope you had a lovely thanksgiving if you celebrate, and a generally positive week either way. We'll be back next week for the November Gameclub Episode, and look forward to seeing you then!

This week I (Jared) had a planned internet service outage on the only night we could record. So you get a mish mash of an older episode's franken content mixed in with the one from last week since it was still sitting in my editing folder. Enjoy!

On today's show we finally get back to it for our October Gameclub. We discuss a couple of news topics and generally had a good time together. We hope you enjoy it too!   Topics list: For Show Date: 11/07/2023    October Gameclub 2:39 Next Gameclub: Need for Speed Unbound 1:05:02 Escapist Mass Resignations 1:08:26 Nintendo Announces Live Action Legend of Zelda Movie 1:19:26 Escapist Mass Resignations https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/11/07/zero-punctuation-ends-as-the-escapist-faces-mass-resignations-after-eic-firing/?sh=23736410a349 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-escapist-staff-resign-following-termination-of-editor-in-chief-nick-calandra https://futurism.com/the-byte/gaming-sites-writers-ai-editor Nintendo Announces Live Action Legend of Zelda Movie https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/nintendo-announces-live-action-legend-of-zelda-movie-distributed-and-co-financed-by https://www.gamesindustry.biz/nintendo-announces-live-action-zelda-movie

Good day again internet friends! We truly were set to record this week and I (Jared) was delivered extremely bad news about someone close to me and it just put me out of it. To that end, here we are with another load of franken stuff. We hope you all had a lovely Halloween, and will see you again very soon. Surely lightning can't strike twice right?......

Greetings listeners! We know there have been many franken episodes lately, but we have all this backlogged content for this reason. We still haven't settled on a regular new schedule yet, but are working on it. Next week is the October Gameclub Episode for Starfield, and we have already committed to recording that come hell or high water, and Rage has informed me he is fairly used to his job now. So, fingers crossed we won't be using as many Franken Shows moving forward. Thank you all for sticking with us through the adjustment period, and enjoy some farther backlog!

Greetings folks! We had another week where we needed to run Franken as both our changing schedules and need to rest kept us from recording a fresh episode. So enjoy some content from the franken archives that reaches back to February and March of this year. 

Difficult work schedules and illness left us unable to do a normal recording. So this week we run a Franken from our deep backlog. So much has happened in 2023, and yet we always find a way to complain about twitter. 

On todays episode we approach a general topic. Our Mount Rushmore of important video game characters. We also do a discovery Queue for the first time in ages! We explain why in the episode we did it this way, and that there may be more of these coming in the days ahead.   Topics list: For Show Date: 10/01/2023  Mount Rushmore: Importance 7:09 Discovery Queue 55:45
