Geek to Geek Podcast

I made a podcast!  Well, really, we made a podcast.  Me and Professor Beej that is.

And it's live... RIGHT NOW!

We've been working on it for awhile and our podcast feed just got approved!  Go check it out!

In our first episode we talk about the subjective value of games as we touch on Firewatch, Superhot, Stardew Valley, MMOs, Steam Sales, backlogs, and lots of other good stuff.

I'd love to hear what you guys think of it.  And if you could rate it and review it in your podcast app of choice it would help us out so much.  That's what will let people find us in the future.

I'm so excited to share this with you:
It's filtering out to all the third party apps right now too.  If you're not an iTunes user try searching your app.  Otherwise just paste the RSS feed URL into your app and you should be good to go:
Or if you're someone who really wants to listen in a browser instead.... here you go:

    I enjoyed your first episode. It's clear that you and the Prof get on well, which meant there was a balanced and lively debate.

    I have my own ideas and preferences regarding podcasting format and production but that doesn't mean that they're universally applicable to all. You have to find your own style and be comfortable with it.

    However, if I may here are a few ideas for consideration.

    1.) A clear intro and outro for the show. Take a few moments to tell listeners who you are and what coming up. Remember you can pick up new listeners at any time so you need to give them a bit of a heads up.

    2.) I like musical links or some kind of audio sting to seperate subject matters. I find a that a continuous flow of dialogue can be confusing at times. Clealry signalling the start and end of a topic is usueful.

    3.) Once you establish some sort of format, then stick with it. People like consistentcy. It also helps if you can maintain a release schedule.

    As I said, my approach may not suit all. Some favour a more spontaneous approach. I have always favoured a talk radio or semi-documentary format.

    Whatever you do, I hope you keep podcasting. we need new shows and frwesh ideas.

      This is fantastic feedback! Thanks so much for listening and writing back, I seriously appreciate it.

      We'll definitely work on our intro/outro but I think comfortableness with that will come in time. We're also still fooling around with music/sfx cues. I'm sure over the first few episodes I'll experiment until I land on something that works... then stick with it.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently have.

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead

What is Blaugust? 2023 Edition

I jumped right into the previous post without actually explaining Blaugust.  So... what is it?  Blaugust is an excuse to get people blogging... in August.  Hence, Blaugust! I'm not the best person to pitch it, but Blaugust is put on by a long time friend of mine, Belghast.  Here's what he had to say about Blaugust for the 2023 kickoff: Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place in August each year that focused on blogging and other serialized content. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. For years blogging has been dwindling, and in part, Blaugust was my attempt and reversing that course by compiling a bunch of veteran bloggers in one place and making it super easy to ask questions and get answers. The idea is that this festival of blogging can help reignite dwindling fires for the next year and give folks a sense of kinship as a result. Ea
