Gamer Era Episode 009 - The Hunt for Content

00:00 / 1:49:52

Sometimes, the greatest fears come from within… sometimes, you have to know when to stop looking. Join us, on our most noble of expeditions, as we whack through the metaphorical forest brush in search of segment gold. David sticks a big combat knife into the table as he details the acute difficulty in devising a segment (while accidentally creating [REDACTED]), before Sam swoops in to relay the comic book origins of Acclaim’s notorious arrow-slinging mascot, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. There’s also a report from the London Gaming Market, and absolutely nothing cursed happens otherwise. Promise?

00:00 / 35:19

KPO – Keep Podtoring On! David and Michel travel back to World War 2 era London to investigate whether the episode is successful in introducing this big, colourful, and totally successful no doubt about it Dalek redesign, whether devoting an episode to a noted war criminal is a good idea, and what episodes we find work better within this kind of narrative framework. All this and more, it’s Victory of the Daleks!

00:00 / 1:47:06

You’re a kid now – you’re an arachnid now?! SOMEHOW, David has returned… and he brings along tales woven of “spiders-men” and “played stations”. It’s as much of a celebration of the web-slinger’s chequered history as it is a classic rant, true believer! Sam also invites experienced splatmate Kit aboard the good ship Era to talk about the slippery world of Splatoon and the evolving ambition of its single player campaigns. ‘Nuff squid.

Friggin Mr. Beast Below? I sure hope not. Join David, Michel, and special guests Peter and Paul of Snappt! as they delve into some incredibly odd Doctor moments, break down some bizarre napkin-eating antics, talk about disappointing action figure namesakes, and fall down a rabbit hole of haunted eBay listings. All this and more – it’s The Beast Below!

WOAH-SHI – it’s a double Yoshi exploshi! David’s taken a step out for this episode (something about “unfinished business”…?), so Sam calls in long-time friend and resident Yoshi expert Muz (@MuzYoshi) to run through all things Munchakoopas. There’s a particular focus on his N64 outing, but we also take the time to run through all the attempts to follow it up in the years since – and where we think it might be headed next. Forgotten details and lore drops abound!

We’re back! (cue I Am the Doctor).

A new Doctor, a new showrunner, and a new-ish format (hey that’s almost an episode of Class) as the clock strikes that familiar tone – it’s The Eleventh Hour!

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!
