Cutting through video game bullshit since 2014.
We’re all back this week for our first episode of the podcast for 2015!
We’ll be recording our look back at 2014 this Sunday, January 11. Make sure to check it out, as we hand out a whole bunch of entirely fake, somewhat serious awards to their rightful winners (or dubious losers). Expect to see the episode available for download late Sunday night (Melbourne time).
It’s the final episode for 2014! There’s been a lot of activity to talk about this week, such as the marathon that was the Video Game Awards, some things of note from the Playstation Experience, and the plethora of trailers and announcements from both events. We’ll be back on January 11th with our 2014 Game Of The Year episode.
We’re through the silly season for video games, so there’s not a lot happening this week. The gang still finds things to discuss in Assassin’s Creed Unity, the state of Destiny, and our plans to revolutionise the way games are reviewed. Time until Game Of The Year proceedings: 2 weeks.
Steve is back, so there’s plenty more wrestling and WWE Supercard talk going around this week. We mostly focus on the last crazy week of releases and patches, as well as Steam pricing models, PAX Australia ticket sale dates, and we briefly outline our Game Of The Year plans. Paul apparently lives in party central this week.
It’s a a Steve-less podcast this week, so Paul, Mike, and Graham sit around and talk about messy releases, including Assassin’s Creed Unity, the new Halo compilation joint, and the Monument Valley DLC. There’s also talk of some games that, in fact, DO work, but you don’t want to hear about that, right?
Graham grabbed some time with Robert Wriedt of Walk Thru Walls Studio during PAX AUS 2014 to talk about their upcoming game, Metal Dead Encore.
The gang’s all here! Graham regales us with tales of his tropical holiday, before we dive head-first into tales from PAX AUS 2014. You will also find wthin a masterclass in segues.
Just a friendly reminder to get your emails in to podcast@shouldiplaythisgame.com for this week’s episode. I have Amnesia, Jazzpunk, and Risk of Rain to giveaway on Steam!
Paul, Graham, and Mike (sorry, not Steve) will be at PAX Australia this weekend. We know that at least one person is keen on a podcast listener meetup, so here’s the deal.
We’re still an amateur operation, so we have in no way booked anything for this. The plan is that the three of us will be on the lawn inside PAX in front of the Exhibition Centre at 12 noon on Saturday. That’s here: https://goo.gl/maps/FE59U
In order to aid you finding us on the day, here’s a picture of Mike’s face:
Keep an eye on our Twitter account @shouldiplaythis for updates during the weekend from the team.
We’re back in our regular timeslot and still a man down, but we have a listener email this week to make up for it. It’s been 10 days since our last episode, so there’s a bit to talk about, including Hatred trailers, Assassin’s Creed Unity’s lofty PC requirements, and the man with all the knives.
