Gamer Era Episode 006 – A Man of Action
/
RSS Feed
When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city… to see the marching band… or rather, “vaguely aspirational hero characters from the mid-aughts that were marketed to boys of about our age”. Cough. Plenty of deep cuts this ep: David frames a discussion on the titular Action Man in musings on plastic capitalism, while Sam beams a computer-generated spotlight at the BBC’s long-buried kids’ multimedia outfit, Ace Lightning. There’s also our essentially live reactions to the now-infamous “Willy McDuff” scandal from a couple of weeks back. Let the truth be heard that we bought stock early in The Unknown!
Gamer Era Episode 005 – Toast of Hollywood
/
RSS Feed
It was a day like no other – the winds of trouble blew into my office like a nightmare, and it’d take one hell of a pinch to wake me. The case was double dutch all the way down; pages and pages of total madness. Our first informant, Sam, re-briefed us on one hell of a bad memory from ‘93 – the disastrous alliance of the Philips and Nintendo families. Then, the vigilante David turned the tables – promising us they could finally bring down the Hollywood Noire syndicate with one unassuming link. Could these two crazies have a point? Would it be worth risking it all in the pursuit of justice? What’s that old saying – “where there’s smoke…”?

Pokémon! Ever heard of those?! United under a common theme, our brave hosts both venture into strange new lands this week; while David toils in the mines of touchscreen-flavoured mediocrity, Sam takes a flight of fancy through the real-world legends that inspired the beasts. Includes a whole-ass bumper quiz segment!! Goodness!

“The name’s Games. James Games…” Your mission, should you choose to accept it – infiltrate the European Games Manufacturing Complex and retrieve valuable secrets from a family shrouded in secrecy. Agents Sam and David will be your local guides, but take great care. Beyond this point, few have returned…
Gamer Era Episode 002 – Tears of the Onion
/
RSS Feed
A capsule containing such power… Gamer Era continues into its sophomore offering as David extols the virtues of “Shrek Treasure Hunt” for the PlayStation (and its deeply troubled developer) and Sam continues the handheld love with an ode to Panic’s Playdate. All this as decade-old social media drama and the looming presence of a revered Nintendo fantasy series threaten to derail the very structure of the pod itself. Will our brave heroes resist the temptation of barely-related tangents, and deliver us to coherence?! Not if they have anything to say about it.
Gamer Era Episode 001 – The Outbursts of Evercade True

RSS Feed
A podcast you can hold in your hands! Join Sam and David in this inaugural edition of Gamer Era as they invoke handheld gaming guilty pleasures, puzzling over the Evercade’s insanely niche appeal and a carefully curated selection of licensed paff for the Game Boy Advance. All this and more wrapped in unexpectedly violent public domain newspaper cartoons, truly toe-curling childhood anecdotes and nonsensical British pop culture deep cuts. Attention Gamers – your Era has arrived.
The Pauldcast Episode 3 – 2011 In Things That Were Important To Us/A 2011 Movie Draft

We’re back – and this time, we have a guest! Our good friend Alexander helps us navigate two important topics this week: lore, and movies. Join us as we each talk about something from the year 2011 that isn’t exactly Paul-related that we found to be interesting, or fascinating, or one of the above – whether it’s the abysmal Nintendo 3DS launch window, the St. Louis Cardinals’ run to the World Series, or hit television show Glee – before switching to a very special 2011 movie draft. We’ll tweet out a list of the selected movies after this ep is a couple of days old, but what you can tweet right now is a link to this episode – so your old high school lab partner whose face you no longer remember due to the unrelenting march of time can discover the podcast and say “woo-hoo!” like I am right now. Woo-hoo!
