We're Game

It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new podcast. The crew puts its mics together to catch up on what they’ve been doing over the holiday break and to tip-toe around some interesting games on the horizon. Enjoy!

We cap off 2018 with our much anticipated (?) “Best Of” lists. Listen to discover what the crew thinks are the best, or most interesting, pieces of media of the past year. And, if you’re so motivated, share your personal lists with us on Twitter @weregamepodcast.

Have you ever read a book and wondered, “Wow, I bet this would make a terrible movie?” This is the episode for you! We talk about the originals we loved (or at least acknowledged) before they were adapted into other media. We also do a final NaNoWriMo check in. It’s a barrel of fun! You … Continue reading "Episode 027: The Novelization of Orca Is Better than Jaws"

The crew, minus Josh, talk about the table top games of their dreams. Also, what’s up with Red Dead Redemption 2? Find out by pressing “play.”

Welp, we’re back, and We’re Game. After a VERY long break (even by our standards), the crew–minus Josh–returns with a lengthy check-in. Find out what games we’ve been playing over the past month-ish, and welcome the newest doctor to the show…Dr. Galm!

This week the crew is joined by special guest Chandra Jones-Graham as we tackle gender issues in gaming culture. It’s awesome. You should listen. In fact, we dare you to listen! Enjoy!

Well it’s come to this: we’re revisiting an old topic. It’s our very first topic, in fact. In this episode, we talk about emergent gameplay narrative and its many definitions depending on format and function. Enjoy, won’t you?

We’re down a man this week, but that’s not going to stop this geeky train! Engage your ear holes and learn about each cast member’s geeky obsession. Spoiler: Nobody said they liked biting the heads off chickens. Enjoy the show!

It feels like we say this a lot, but we’re back from hiatus! The guys describe their comings and goings post-Extra Life marathon. Then things get real. Enjoy!

A week before our big 24-hour Extra Life stream (June 29th @ 1pm on twitch.tv/weregamepodcast), the group gets together to podcast about our topic: what makes a good game good? This time, we tackle video games. Oh, and the podcast has a meltdown halfway through the episode. Enjoy! Interested in donating to our awesome cause … Continue reading "Episode 020: Oopsie Doopsie Poopsie"

E3 is among us! We discuss some of our favorite games from the show, then transition into this week’s very exciting topic: motion controllers and the promise of immersion. Enjoy!

The crew unveils its master plan to earn money FOR THE CHILDREN, and we ponder the present and future of streaming media (and whether or not we may have lost an element of discovery in a culture of on-demand content).

Now we’ve gone an done it. On this epic episode, we discuss/argue about Solo: A Star Wars Story (spoilers aplenty). We also list some things we would like to see adapted and re-adapted into various media. [Note: The audio starts a little rough, but sorts itself out after a few minutes.]

What’s game aesthetic and how does it impact our enjoyment of games? The crew searches for answers by asking even more complicated questions. Also, we saw Deadpool 2, so we talk about it. Enjoy!

If you could design the video game of your dreams, cost and technology posing no restriction, what would you make? We talk about that and much much more!

This week’s three-man show walks you through the ways each of us incorporates games into our classes. If that doesn’t float your boat, we also discuss Avengers: Infinity War (spoilers aplenty, so beware).

In this very special episode, we talk about Ready Player One (the book), Brandon’s newfound VR obsession, and some other things about which I forgot to take notes.

In this technical difficulty-riddled episode, Adam discovers the majesty of VR, and the crew ponders the ever blurred lines between cinema and television.

Once upon a podcast, an evil host cast a magical spell over the kingdom of We’regamedia. Everyone was cursed to talk about bad exposition in stories, and they lived angrily ever after. Oh, and there was a magical talking frog, and Reggie brandished a knife. The end.

We’re back after yet ANOTHER hiatus, but this time we’re a podcast with a plan. We have a new recording format, which means more episodes faster than ever before. Oh, and this week we talk about old video rental stores or something. Enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss things we used to dislike, but now love (or at least respect). Then we start talking about the Justice League movie for some reason. Oh, and Adam is very, very tired. It’s a hoot!

We’re here, we’re game, and we have another thrilling episode for you. This week, four podcasters enter the arena, and only three walk out. Find out which of us falls prey to blood-thirsty modem vampires in Episode 8. Oh, and I guess we talk about what makes for a good table-top game. Enjoy!

Wow, that was some vacation. We’re Game, and we’re back. After a lengthy hiatus, we have returned with a new season of the We’re Game podcast. Don’t be freaked out if we talk about things that happened in, let’s say, late October. We have a time machine. In this episode we talk about reboots and … Continue reading "Episode 007: Don’t Hate Us, Hiatus"

Returning from yet another hiatus, the gang talks about personal gaming trends and Halloween parties in the “heart” of Ohio.

Hey, we’re back folks! After a lengthy hiatus, the crew has assembled to talk about rage-quitting. If you haven’t already rage-quit the podcast, please join us. NOTE: Some of the audio is a bit “clicky.” We’ll aim for better in the future.

Ugh, Nazis. Amirite?

We’re down a man this week, but that doesn’t stop us from talking about gamification. You’re welcome.

In this week’s show, the crew talks about computer animation in film, and Reggie misquotes classic movie lines.

This week we dive deep (perhaps too deep) into the minefield called “emergent gameplay narrative”. Join the crew on their sticky, and sometimes insightful, journey.
