An award-winning graphic designer, an independent game developer, a self-published novelist, a movie and video game critic, and everyday artist. Matthew VanDevander lives in the great state of Tennessee and is on a never-ending quest for the deeper meaning of life.
This week’s dunceCast is louder than they have been, so adjust your volume accordingly. We barely planned anything for the show so we discuss what we’ve been playing and watching like one of those Internet radio shows. But we also make some bold predictions for the game industry in 2013!
For this weeks installment of the dunceCast. We bring you a split episode! The first half is the normal dunceCast you know and loathe, but the second half is all about video game music. We highlight some of the best soundtracks of this generation and also recount some of our favorite tunes of all time. Also, we edited in samples from every game we mention for your listening pleasure. Video game music can be damn good, son. Enjoy!
We know that this podcast’s file size is much larger than normal, but trust that this is to bring the music to you in its intended stereophonic juicy quality.

The music for this week, in order of appearance:
It’s the End of the World As We Know It by The Suicide Machines
And the dunces go marching in! dunceCast episode 9 has finally arrived, we hope you didn’t get too hyped up of anything. It’s been in development for a while, yes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t disappoint. Ah, well…what can we say. It’s just a click away to listen to an hour and a half of new piping-hot dunce cakes.
We thought we might just skip this weeks podcast, to see if anyone really missed us. But then we started to feel guilty and so we sat down and did it anyway. We hope you will appreciate our commitment to excellence and also dumb podcasts every week. If we are an apple, you are the worm. Or some other metaphor
Clearly the lack of sleep is showing. First we forget to post the podcast on time, then we forget to rewrite the flavor text when we finally do post the properly edited version. Well, here is the tastier full-flavored version of that unedited garbage you heard yesterday. If you listened early, what were you thinking? That stuff was so yesterday…
This week’s dunceCast is coming to you in stereoscopic Three D! Does that give you a headache just thinking about it? Are your eyes bleeding from the mere notion? You feel like you want to vomit? Well, let me tell you something about pain! You don’t know a damned THING about pain! But you will…oh…you WILL! You will beg and plead for mercy, but you won’t get it; and in the final moments: you will curse your mother and father for birthing you onto the face of this wretched planet.
Another week, another dunceCast! We love you more than you love us, but that’s okay. We have come to accept that the world is not a fair place and we will never be truly happy…
SPOILER WARNING: SKYFALL, Assassin’s Creed 3, and Halo 4.
This week we spoil the shit out of SKYFALL, talk some more about Assassass’s Ass the Turd, as well as some primarily Matthew-based chatting about Halo 4. If you’re scared of spoilers for SKYFALL, most of the discussion is over past the 38 minute mark, but we do make a callback later. Dont say I didnt warn. This week, Assassin’s Creed 3 is spoiled up to the end of Sequence 6. Sadly, if you are afraid of spoiling, there probably isn’t much for you in this week’s podcast, cause we talk openly about Halo 4 as well. Our advice? Just dive in head first and don’t be afraid. I mean come on, are you really that worried about spoiling a James Bond film? A Halo game?
Were your ears bleeding from yesterday’s unedited mess of a podcast? M4A? What is that shit? Well, you will be glad to know we pulled a double shift at the dunceCast in order to get you a properly edited version as soon as we possibly could. And here it is! For her pleasure, once again; we present dunceCast Episode 3
(SPOILER WARNING! We talk freely about Assassin’s Creed 3 at the end of the podcast with spoilers up to the end of Sequence 3. So, don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
I remembered what I was forgetting on the podcast. You can now email the podcast at podcast (at) lowtideproductions.com. We will read/respond to any cool mail we get on the podcast.
