Hey, Let's Videogames! Episode 7!

Gaming is a guilty business. Though it's more culturally acceptable than in decades prior, gaming is still a bit of a stigmatized pastime. That hot blonde at the night club will still not be impressed by your World of Warcraft accomplishments. Trust me on this one.


Even among peers, gamers judge each other based on what they play. In this episode, we talk about our own guilty gaming pleasures. We're very ashamed and hope that we're still invited to your housewarming party

Hey, Let's Videogames! Episode 6!

Everybody has to have an E3 podcast! It's the law. We're totally qualified to be telling you about the cool shit we saw at the show. Seeing videos of games is just as good as playing them. It's how amateur game journoz get by.

Also, I promise I will find a way to stop stuttering without sounding sedated. In this one, I do both. Thrills!

Hey, Let's Videogames! Episode 5!

Hoooooly shit, folks. Prepare for disappointment! Ours, not yours. We talk Virtua Tennis 4 and Moon Diver, and why each fails in some way. These aren't terrible games, but there are some missed opportunities here, and we let you know what the dilly-o is.

Also, we take some time to talk about character customization, and why it rules. Top it off with some fighting game nomenclature, and you have an episode of what can definitely be described as a podcast that you can listen to with your ears.

Also also, you'll be able to download us on iTunes very soon, as soon as I figure out why the store won't accept my .xml file. Technology, you're a bitch goddess, and I love/hate you.

MORTAL PODCAST!

This podcast is a very special one. Not only does my stuttering reach amazing new heights due to a lack of caffeine, but D and I manage to talk about the Mortal Kombat series, movies and musical monstrosities for almost an hour. Why not give it a download? Maybe you'll learn something.

Prepare yourself! Johnny Cage's not afraid to die!

Hey, Let's Videogames! Episode 3!

We're trying to get a proper schedule down for this. We promise. Between funemployment, steaks, and the fact that we're still learning how to do this magical podcast thing, we've been slow in getting out episodes up. On behalf of D, I apologize.

But behold! The podcastening has begun!

Episode 3 is our best one yet. We talk at length about checkpoints, and what is acceptable in terms of how much progress a game should allow you to lose. Spoiler: We generally disagree.

Download the episode through the link below, and be sure to send in your answers for our question of the week! We want you to talk to us about humor in games. What works? What doesn't? How does videogame humor differ from humor in other media? We need to know, because we're going to record Episode 4 next week, and that's our topic.

Enjoy the show, and let us know what you think.

Reminder: Submit your replies for Episode 2's community response!

Last time, on Hey, Let's Videogames!

Mike asked the community: What should the consequences be for death in videogames? What kinds of penalties are acceptable? How should death affect the game?

Now, it's time to answer the stuttering fool! Send your replies to heyletsvideogames at gmail dot com, or reply to @HLVGPodcast on Twitter with your responses! You could have your stuff read on Episode 3! Your opinion counts to us, because without you, we need to find something else to kill ten minutes. Keep us from doing something stupid with that time and support your local podcasts!

Oh, and a proper banner/layout for this blog, plus an icon for our Twitter around, should be coming soon. If you want to design something yourself, feel free. I love free stuff. That's why I enjoyed that Cold Steel DVD so thoroughly.

We out!
