It's been a while since I've podcast gamed, I have found that even the most monotonous and repetitive game will make me focus on it and then i'm not really paying attention to what i'm listening to.

That's why i save podcasts for when I'm in control of a two-ton machine that could seriously hurt me or others if not operated competently

my favorite podcast games are either musou or 4x, but i haven't found a 4x that really grabbed me in quite a while

I generally play FFXIV or some other game with menial tasks I can afford not to pay much attention too.

Though lately... I have to confess, I have come back to my guiltiest pleasure, that damned Town of Salem help im addicted to Mafia style games im losing control of my time

Idk how you can map game and listen to podcasts at the same time, even when im waiting for things to happen my powerful brain is calculating

You have two whole lobes bro. One for podcast one for game, if you can't separate the tasks per love naturally just get yourself an icepick and go for the manual fix

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Path of Exile is the perfect podcast game

Hitman 3.

The game has a SHITLOAD of replayability so I often end up playing it again to clear through Featured Contracts while listening to podcasts. Also Freelancer mode is coming next year and based on the test beta I got to play in, it's going to eat up ALLLLLLLLL my free time.

I wish Hitman didn't have a weird enclaved progression system on the PC platforms. The whole trilogy is on Game Pass, but I own (and have partially completed) Hitman 1 and 2 on Steam, but if I go to Game Pass I not only have to start over, I also face the prospect of it eventually leaving Game Pass, and then if I want to keep my progression I have to buy the entire thing on the Microsoft Store. And Hitman 3 is still full price on Steam. :argh:

Hi games chat, as some of you who come to VG's stream know I'm in training to be a zookeeper. Well today the zoo I'm at had an incredible announcement and I was lucky enough to be there to see it in person:

Baby elephant twins are incredibly rare, and having them both survive is even rarer. They are so ridiculously cute I love them.

i'm one of those weirdos who can't actually listen to podcasts if i'm not doing something at the same time, so you should give that a shot if you've struggled trying to listen to them before

Sounds like it’s uneven but is effective at making what’s unique about Sonic work well in an open world.

And the character writing is apparently pretty good.
