dunceCast Episode 18 – The Godfather Part 0

This dunceCast, we learn the secrets of the Diddler in a new episode of Assman and Outhouse Boy. We discuss next gen consoles and speculate about design possibilities and dystopian rumors. We delve into what we’ve been playing with Closure, a bit of Zelda 3, some Earthbound, and a smidgen of Dead Space 2. We have an in-depth discussion about the importance of buy-in in enjoying things. Also, a first impression of The Godfather. (Yeah, yeah.)

dunceCast Episode 17 – Next-Gen Nightmares

This week on the dunceCast, we start off-schedule and stay off schedule. (What? We had a schedule?) We talk about the possibilities for next-gen, discuss the meritocracy of the Zelda series, delve into our dreams and nightmares with Little Nemo and Slenderman. We also discuss Hitman: Absolution and Antichamber before collapsing of exhaustion.

Today, on the dunceCast: a new episode of Assman and Outhouse Boy stumbles out the door. A short IMDB rabbit hole. We talk about games we’ve been playing, including Sonic Generations and Far Cry 3. We argue about the merits of sitting around doing nothing all day, and then talk about the best atmospheres and worlds we’ve discovered in games.

dunceCast Episode 13 – If It’s Any Console-ation

This week the dunceCast is horribly off the rails right from the beginning, but we still find time to talk half-heartedly about CES and the deluge of so-called “consoles” announced there. Don’t despair though, for we have assembled a short list of things to look forward to in 2013. (Or at least what Matthew is looking forward to.) There is a wistful discussion of the perils and wonders of Dungeons and Dragons, and how it differs from video games. We read our first email live on the air, and we crash and burn shortly after.

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!
