Gamer Era Episode 005 - Toast of Hollywood

00:00 / 1:42:38

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…”?

Gamer Era Episode 002 - Tears of the Onion

00:00 / 1:14:41

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.

00:00 / 1:24:26

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!

Gamer Era - Coming Soon

00:00 / 0:54

Since the dawn of time, humanity has tried to establish just what it is about gaming that draws us in, shapes us, drives us to greater things. Whether it be the simple pleasure of Mario, the complex twists and turns of Master Chief, the beauty of Chuckie Egg, we have all been defined by what we play, in a way, wouldn’t you say? No? OK, well, look you could’ve just — this is ad copy, you could’ve just agreed with me and moved on, it’s not like–oh, oh I see how it is, I get it. You know what else I get? The fact we all have GAMER ERAs. Yeah! So join Sam and David as they delve into the games, consoles, and phenomena that have defined their lives and explore just what makes their Gaming Eras tick. Oh, now you’re back. Got you eating right out of my hand, don’t I? Good! Gamer Era premieres February 7th, available wherever you get your podcasts.
