Literally almost every show there to a one is hosed up or dead in some way. USGamer gets namedropped, Idle Thumbs network is the top title, etc etc

Forever missing Idle Thumbs

I recently christened my new fightstick with an old idle thumbs sticker I had lying around. If I remember I’ll edit a picture of it in here when I get home from work tonight.

Every time something absurd happens in the video game industry (this happens a lot) I genuinely think about how Idle Thumbs would have spun it out into nonsense.

Extremely gaming-adjacent but Shelved By Genre is just a really fun exploration of oddball genre fiction with Austin Walker and the Game Study Study Buddies crew. Same with A More Civilizard Age's Bonus Episodes covering Star Wars KOTOR has been an incredible listen.

Might be time for a thread refresh. I'll take a stab at it when I've got some free time if nobody beats me to the punch.

Suburban Dad posted:Since it's revived I'll suggest Into the Aether. They describe it as a low key video game podcast where they aren't beholden to new releases. It's two guys that have been friends forever talking about games from any time really and they only talk about stuff they like, so pretty much only good vibes. They try a bunch of stuff from mobile games to old Dreamcast stuff, and everything in between. They do a monthly bonus where they go in depth on a game (the next one is twilight princess for example) same talk about it at length. They do a big game of the year episode that is seriously long (probably not a great place to start) and they usually open each season with a console bonus where they play a ton of games from a specific old console and rank their top 5 or 10. Just wanted to say thanks, I checked out ItA because of your post and I really like it! In other news, the Watch Out For Fireballs people are doing a big new show for Baldurs Gate 3: https://www.reallichhours.com/ I'm digging Remap Radio, but I think they're in a transition period right now as they rotate the standard roster of hosts: https://remapradio.com/ Definitely agree with the people praising the kotor eps of AMCA. Some of the game-focused eps of Worst of all Possible Worlds have be quite good. EDIT: One more, I've been really liking the FF9 season of No One Can Know About This

Just so nobody is trying to work at cross-purposes, I've been cleaning up the OP list and streamlining shows based on what's dead and what's not, as well as a few discussions in this and the Retro Games thread that both suggested some shows. Formatting isn't final and I still need to check that all the links are working/strip the Twitters out of this before it goes live, mostly just posting this as a "are there any obvious missing shows on here". It's really clear I've been working top down and need to recategorize everything, haha, you can see the exact instant my cleanup stops and I haven't finished the link checks.claw game handjob posted:

You can probably add Retro Game Squad and New Game Plus. RGS is three friends playing a smattering of old games based on a console or theme over a month or so and then voting which is the personal best. NGP is three friends selecting a game randomly and playing for a week to try it out and see what they think

A lot of those podcast descriptions are a little out of date but Easy Allies and Frame Trap are in DESPERATE need of an update because not only have a lot of the crew moved on, but Isla Hinck is referred to by a deadname.

SpannerX posted:Is Rob Zacny ever on TMA anymore? Like once a year at most. Almost as rare as Troy appearing, it's too bad. The hosts and guests have gotten progressively worse and less incisive in their criticism over the years. I only really turn on when it's some of the old timers on again. He did host a Micheal Mann film retrospective which was alright, I'd say good but only Zacny understood that Miami Vice is one of the greatest films ever made.

I think it was on waypoint and is now on the post waypoint feed. Idk, seems like the poster just wanted to hear the dulcet tones of Mr.Zacny once again.Jordan7hm posted:TMA has fallen off my downloads, which is too bad. I listened to so many hours of that podcast.

Dude sucks poo poo.

I go through cycles of how much it bothers me - Tim frequently has good or funny points in the midst of that verbosity - but will admit that I preferred the chunk of episodes where Tim was out and they just had a rotating guest slot instead.

I think I got introduced to the show when he wasn't on it, and it was this fun and snappy show with cool guests, then this bloviating idiot starts showing up and it's like 86% unlistenable sludge, 9% someone else gets to talk, 4% soundboard, 1% he actually tells a funny joke. If someone could please let me know when he's off the show again, I'd appreciate it.

Crate & Crowbar has been in shaky ground lately. The most recent episode is over a month old and it had been two weeks since the one before that. The hosts have shuffled around a bit as well. They’ve added Jamie Brittain as a recurring guest/host and some of the others haven’t been on in a long time. Bummer, they were my favorite after Thumbs.

Biggest one missing that I didn't see mentioned is MinnMax. MinnMax is good. Kinda Funny also exists but I don't really like their shows. Frame Trap just released their last episode, number 200. So that one can be removed.

Speaking of MinnMax, frequent collaborator Jacob Geller is also part of Something Rotten, another good podcast which is deep dives into "rotten" games. Not bad games, but games that are dark, violent or nihilistic.

I'd be less harsh on the Giant Bomb entry, even if some corporate shenanigans resulted in the dismissal of SA's very own voidburger  The current staff there with Jan Ochoa hosting, Jeff Grubb anchoring, Dan Rykert being his weird rear end self and Jeff Bakalar playing straightman works well. I can't recommend adding Designer Notes enough, generally hosted by Soren Johnson, lead designer of Civ IV among many other illustrious credits. They interview prominent game designers in the industry about their career paths, decision making, etc. Someone on SA recommended it to me for the Justin Ma & Matthew Davis (FTL/Into the Breach) episodes, but most have been utterly fascinating.

Axe of the Blood God is in there in both the main list and the Retro section. Anne Scantlebury hasn't been part of One Life Left in a long time. For correctness, you can list AI Charles Cecil in her place. ShallowKnave fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Apr 24, 2024 |
