Writing On Gamescast

The channel now has 4000 subscribers, so Hamish feels he now has the clout to sell Nico a bunch of games such as Inside, Hitman, Kentucky Route Zero and the latest and greatest platformer of all time, Tomato Jones. Pokemon GO's insidious side, Telltale's decline into mediocrity, Nico's unwanted perpetual Game Informer subscription and a post-outro 'bit' about first jobs and hard drugs all make an appearance. Thanks for supporting the channel, you guys. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingongamescast/support

Pokemon GO is out so we should probably talk about how Hamish is trying to scar little children and travel to Africa to cheat. He's also played some Inside, some Furi, and seen some Ghostbusters. We talk about Overwatch, tutorialisation and difficulty in games. We witness the death of the Lego Star Wars Minute. We're embracing our dark digital future. You should too! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingongamescast/support

Hamish is losing his voice and hasn't slept. Nico is delirious from playing a particular game. Perfect opportunity to talk about the latest, cutting-edge games such as Killer7 (2005) and Limp Bizkit's 2011 opus, Gold Cobra. No one calls you Polar Bear, Fred. We also weigh in on Pokemon GO, future Microsoft games coming to PC and some shady goings on in the world of children gambling on CS:GO. Whodathunkit. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingongamescast/support

Today is the one year anniversary of Hamish starting the channel, so what better way to celebrate than by cracking open a cold brew and smacking the power button on your soundcard? This week we're talking System Shock, we're talking Zelda Breath of the Wild, we're talking Final Fantasy VII Monopoly, we're talking terrible dumb phone VR... Oh, and if you stick around until the end, we're talking PERSONA 4, BAYBEE (in the dumbest way possible). Thanks for supporting the channel for a year - hopefully the first of many.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingongamescast/support

Audio issues are sorted, E3 is behind us, now we can get to the news of the day - the original God of War, the existential nightmare that is Pac Man, and Nico's air conditioning woes. Wait a minute. In all seriousness, we discuss Mighty No. 9, that new Witcher DLC and look back on some open world classics.
