Sines, Co-Sines, & Tangents

Jared’s prattling has gotten out of hand, and Shawn sets him straight. With a special guest star Erica! We talk about NYCC, Retro Consoles, and Jared’s got a few games you should check out.

Jared and Shawn tackle the real questions. Are Disney and Sony too big to fail? Is Mario Kart Tour fun? Are games as a service too big? Is a goose the ultimate video game character?

Shawn and Jared return with Season 3 of Sines Co-Sines & Tangents. We finally discuss Avengers Endgame, and how to make the most out of Summer!

Shawn and Jared had a goal. To record a short episode. They failed. But they did watch Captain Marvel!

We have a ton of tangents. Mario! Zelda! Tetris!! We also talk about the continuity power of canon and franchises, and how Shawn confuses people.

We have a ton of tangents, and we talk about historical games. Just setting, or is there more?

Shawn and Jared travel into the new year to bring you their earnings statement for the Sines Co-Sines & Tangents Stakeholders. Oh, and Spider-man.

Jared and Shawn take a step back from the “ledge of seriousity” and goof around a bit this week, talking about some of the difficulties in getting people together to play games. Oh, and there are Tangents too...

Shawn and crew are back trying to make sense of it all.

Shawn let’s Jared nerd out about Smash and his emotional attachment to it. Meanwhile we’re tangent a plenty with a ton of fun stuff.

We talk about Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse and we go deeper than you were expecting by looking at a common thread of God of War and Infinity War: Fatherhood.

We discuss the death of nostalgia & loot boxes. Jared gives a 60 second review. And we talk about game collecting, and our CERTIFIED FIVE STEP PROGRAM to salvation.

Did you know everything is coming to Switch? Black Panther Review. And discussing Work/Life/Fun balance when it comes to video games.

Two Sines, and one Co-Sines discuss 2017 the year in review, and what we expect out of 2018.

Jared & Shawn have diverging opinions. No one is right. No one is wrong. There is a balance in the Force. Here's what we thought from The Last Jedi.

Mega Man is back baybee! We talk about Disney the devourer of worlds. Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu. And we talk about how Shawn betrayed us all. Oh and Net Neutrality is dead. All in all an uplifting episode.

We talk about Skyrim again on the Switch. Justice League was a movie. In our main topic, we dive into what makes a game a cult classic.

This episode, we talk about Star Wars saturation, Thor: Fraggle Rock, and what it takes to make a game of your own.

Shawn says we shouldn't let you know when we're gone. Did you even notice? We talk about some latest news, Mario Odyssey, and how to JUST CHILL. ARE YOU CHILL?

We discuss toxic game culture and its impact on gaming at large and people who identify as gamers. We also discuss STAR TREK, and why we need it today, and how Star Trek Discovery doesn't fill the need.

We discuss The Orville, Ohio's unhappiness, Nintendo's getting violent, and something near and dear to heart... METROID. The last Metroid is in captivity, and this podcast is at peace.

This week Jared and Shawn discuss the growth of independent games and their impact on the industry. Also we review The Defenders (summary: meh).

Hey fellow kids, what podcasts are the hippest? Ours! We talk Ducktales, a Joker origin film, Sonic Mania, and our main topic... you'll want to stick around for.

We discuss a thousand streaming services, and a thought experiment on violence in games.

We're finally back. For good. We talk about cooperative gaming in the truest sense. Coming together for something bigger.

We're back baby! We talk about Diablo 2... er I mean 3. Our main topic is the cycle of fan games, mods, hacks, creative control etc. Games have a life of their own after they are published.

E3 is over, and well, there's not much to talk about. So we talk about it for an hour. Nintendo shows off Super Mario Odyssey, and Metroid.

Tangents Sega does what Nintendon’t The Road to E3 – what do we expect? Scorpio 4K is it a decider for you? Bethesda VR Games New Sci-fi setting? Other Titles: Borderlands 3? Spider-Man?

We discuss Wonder Woman! We also delve into the world that is emulation, and why it can be important. Are games just commercial products, or are they something more?

This week we discuss the great randomness that roguelikes bring to games, and the best DC movie you'll see this year, and it's not even a movie!

We discuss role playing games, team building, and building stories or experiences that will last a lifetime.

We're back this week with an all tangents podcast. Ranging from superheroes, to superheroes, are there enough superheroes already? We talk about XBox Project Scorpio, and DLC for Zelda, and much more more.
