[School of Everything Else 2017] This is the third show I have put together about the Legend of Zelda series. The first was back in 2010 for Digital Cowboys when we covered most of the games in the series. The second was in early 2012 on Digital Gonzo when we covered the contentious Skyward Sword on the Wii (This episode is now available exclusively through Patreon). This time we're looking at a bunch that we missed first time round, and one or two that have emerged more recently. 2001. Oracle of Seasons/Ages 2004. The Minish Cap 2006. Twilight Princess 2007. Link's Crossbow Training 2007. The Phantom Hourglass 2009. Spirit Tracks 2011. Ocarina of Time 3D 2013. A Link Between Worlds 2013. Wind Waker HD 2014. Hyrule Warriors 2015. Majora's Mask 3D My guests this time are Laura Kate Dale, Gary Blower, Glen Watts, Iain Hopwood, Lloyd Huhn, David Garcia Abril and Richard Lago. This show was recorded back in 2015 while the Switch was still called the NX, Breath of the Wild didn't have a name and Twilight Princess HD had yet to be announced. When we do a fourth Zelda show it will be a lot sooner and will be all about Breath of the Wild, which after thirty or so hours of play may be my favourite of them all.

The month of August we celebrate The Married Gamers podcast eighth year anniversary. To celebrate Chris and Kelly have invited a few of their favorite guests, podcasters, influencers, and friends to join us. First up, we have the former Digital Cowboys podcast, Tony, from Cane and Rinse, and Alex from School of Movies. We chat about Gamescom 2015 and then catch up with the two podcasts on their past as the Digital Cowboys and where they are now. All this plus The Week in Geek and our Opening Question. You can find us at: The Married Gamers Twitch.tv Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Youtube If you have a comment, send it to us at marriedgamers@outlook.com. The Married Gamers Libsyn app is available on Windows 8, WindowsPhone, iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android for $1.99

[Digital Drift 2014] This is the tenth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe podcasts. We talk at length about the transition from obscure Marvel comic to breakout success, how the characters differ across the mediums taking many detours into the depiction of female and black characters in comic book movies, the inspired soundtrack, the hilarious, often touching performances, the detail-filled worlds and of course the vibrant, fun-filled rollicking space adventure now finally earning recognition.  This is also the first of a trilogy of unrelated movie reviews all celebrating some of the best aspects of the human spirit. Next week it's The Lego Movie, followed by The Iron Giant, which also makes this a Chris Pratt and Vin Diesel appreciation trio. This is because episode 30 is my 400th podcast (give or take a few dozen, Digital Cowboys ran for 209 episodes and Digital Gonzo for 161).  Each has an epic running time. The discussion for all three went super-in depth for what might be perceived as kids movies by anyone who doesn't listen to this show, and while we kept things clean for the other two it does get dark for Guardians at times so be aware of that going in. We brought in multiple voices across the board for a broader range of perspectives and experience and I've gone all out on the music and clips.  Listen out for my suggestions for Awesome Mix Vol. 2. A Marvel No-Prize to anyone who can give us the complete track listing for these hypothetical, thematically consistent tracks on the forum.  James Batchelor also makes a special guest appearance as The Henchman Agent, returning from his stint on the James Bond and Batman podcasts.  There are various readings from ‘We Are Groot: ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy' Celebrates Heroes With Authentic Psychological Deficits' written for Comics Alliance by by Dr. Andrea Letamendi http://comicsalliance.com/guardians-galaxy-psychology-analyisis-trauma/ Guests: Jerome McIntosh of GameBurst Mike Hearn from Walter the Wicked Rose Lynn from the Digital Drift community Doctor Lorin Grieve from Year of Steam  

[Digital Drift 2014] Welcome to the introductory episode of Digital Drift. With the first two volumes of my podcast, Digital Cowboys and Digital Gonzo now complete that makes this the 370th podcast episode I've put out. For the third volume I have recruited a new co-host to share the creative load; my wife, Sharon Shaw. She'll be offering the show a second voice and a ton of perspective. And we've decided to go right back to the beginning on this one with a prototype for the Gonzo movie reviews, released on the Digital Cowboys feed in May 2010 many months before I began the Star Wars Gonzo reviews. This was originally two hour-long episodes covering both volumes of Kill Bill. We've taken them, trimmed away the bits that didn't work, added more clips and music and some additional segments with our views on the films four years on. You can hear how we were back then, what's changed and what's stayed the same. We'll be releasing regular episodes throughout 2014, interspersed with Digital Cowboys to give me room to write the book. Focus will be on more conceptual topics (much like the Fan Response show of Digital Gonzo) and while movie reviews will still remain, we'll be doing a lot more interviews and shorter, discussion podcasts, bringing on the experts so that we don't have to devote all our time studying absolutely everything. Kill Bill is in both of our top three movies lists and by the time you get to the end of this one you'll know why.  

[Digital Gonzo 2013] Back when I was recording the Digital Cowboys podcast with Tony Atkins we used to ask our guests what the state of the games industry would be like in five years time (along with a bunch of other questions). This one is the most interesting in hindsight as it shows where we thought we might be going from 2007-2011.

You thought we were busy yesterday, you should see us today. Twice as much keynotes, twice as many guests, same length, more or less. We actually managed to — yet again — be fraught with technical issues and — yet again — we managed to overcome them to put a show together. We hit the highs and lows of the Sony and Nintendo press conferences with Edie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, Leah Haydu, and visiting guests Alex Shaw of the Digital Cowboys and Jerome McIntosh of not the Digital Cowboys, but somewhere over in Old Timey Land nonetheless. Check it out. Now we need a nap.

[Digital Gonzo 2011] The retro-quiz madness continues with a close look at the TV commercials that aired in Britain throughout the 1980's and 1990's. Blue Captain Michael Fox of Joypod returns, as does Red Captain Neil Taylor of GameBurst and the KDS show. Duncan O' Sullivan of the DC community comes back for the first time since our cartoon show and we finally get on for his first full Gonzo show one Mr Tony Atkins of Digital Cowboys.  If you remember Britain in the 80's and 90's then you will absolutely adore this twisted, bouncing, wild ride down memory lane.

It's a sad day for the GameHounds gang.   This latest Humpdate, for February 24, 2010, will be the final Humpdate.    It's been a laborious thing making two shows a week, and we've enjoyed every minute of it. But it was a labor of love that we wouldn't change a bit. If you think about all the amazing things that the Humpdate has been, it's a bit mindboggling. After starting out as a two-man show, it became a variety podcast and it brought you some amazing voices — from ThatOneGuy Ry and the Digital Cowboys to the recent crowd, including The Rumble Pack.    We're sorry to see it go, but we know that it will only strengthen the GameHounds regular podcasts, because now we'll have more time to make them and give you the best — which is what you deserve.   In this last episode, the SportsHound WillG talks about how a recent lawsuit against Electronic Arts may affect sports games in the future, Holy Goalie offers his thoughts on in-game advertising, and The Rumble Pack interview Jim Zubcovich, project manager for Udon Entertainment.   Enjoy.

[Digital Gonzo 2010] After the resounding success of the Star Wars review podcasts I decided to carry on talking about my favourite movies for the foreseeable future. This week we kick off a new trilogy maybe more dear to my heart than even Star Wars: Back to the Future. The focus for this first one is actually the brain-bending complexity of the multiple timelines featured in the Back to the Future Trilogy, the theories laid down and the fantastical science behind it. There's also a range of movie facts and easter eggs to watch out for the next time you watch it. Guests: Neil Taylor of GameBurst Giles Thomas of the Digital Cowboys community.

We start the new year off right by chatting with Alex and Tony of the fantastic podcast, Digital Cowboys. Join us as we discuss handheld gaming. What's good, bad, and ugly in the frontier of handheld gaming, and is there room for more handheld gaming devices in the near future? All this plus a dip into the mailbag and what we've been playing.

[Digital Gonzo 2010] While I was still recording Digital Cowboys, the video game podcast I began with Tony Atkins and Paul Shotton in 2007, in early 2010 I began a new feed with a series of audio articles under the name Gonzo Gaming. After a dozen of them I kicked off the first of what would become hundreds of dedicated, movie-focused discussion shows. This was soon renamed Digital Gonzo. I started off with a movie series that's been with me since before I knew what movies were, Star Wars.  Guests: Neil Taylor of TheKidDogg Gary Blower of GameBurst      

This week's Humpdate is ever so special. Have I mentioned how special it is? I did. Didn't I? In addition to all that specialness, we have Edie with her interview with Tom French, the lead designer of Saboteur from PAX, the SportsHound WillG reviews Madden NFL 10 and the "AFC Legacy Pack" add-on, Holy Goalie offers some non-gaming advice for the backyard barbequer (hey, we can't game all the time), and the Digital Cowboys discuss lesbian love and Fear Effect with the Eidos' community manager. .

[Digital Cowboys 2010] Maybe the best of the Digital Cowboys episodes. This is all about Zelda through the years, covering every game and it comprises extracts from many, many interviews with podcasters and the DC community. What comes across is a very special game series. There is a justified reason why Nintendo releases these games in gold boxes and treats the moment as a major event. It's difficult in fact to imagine many others being recounted with such fondness and with such importance. The frustration is also there; the bad design decisions and the repetitive formula, amid hopes for the future, all underscored by 25 years of incredible music. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed towards this show, without your submitted rich experiences, it wouldn't have been a fraction as good. Originally published July 16th 2010.

[Digital Cowboys 2007] A collection of clips from the first year of our show.

[Digital Cowboys 2007] A truly awful comedy that won't make you laugh. A scary as hell vampire film that will make you feel cold. And a look at socialised healthcare that may make you sick to hear about, considering how both Britain and America have progressed medically in the years since.
