We get loose, and discuss the how each generation of console gaming changed our console experience.  The mechanics, graphics, and elements of story telling and immersion exposed at each step. Come listen to where everything started, from the beginning RPGs on Atari, to the beginning of fighters on SNES and SEGA, and all the way up to blockbuster/social experience of the current generation.

John and Brett address overwhelming criticism of Season 2. They start by admitting that it is not Season 1 - that both the scope and philosophical intrigue is not there. Then they talk about why they like it, and why they think it succeeded as a show in its aim i.e. to have a mature character driven drama.

This is what its like when Dystopian worlds collide. Captain Joehead makes a case for why we should hunter gathers. We discuss Huxley, Orwell, Neuromancer, Psycho Pass, and other dystopian media. We start get to the meat and meaning of what it means to be in a dystopia, and then unexpectedly we achieve Nirvana, and cease to exist.

They see me walk up out the vault wit my pip-boy and pull up my vats(clack-clack) I take yo bottle capz.  A Wolf Lives Here goes to video.  We talk about how Zack and John might go mafioso when they play Fallout, Mass Effect, Skyrim, GTA, and other sandboxes.  We inevitably get into some very substantive conversation which we retreat from in confusion and frightened bewilderment.  Brett outs himself a police officer.  Zack and John out a "special relatioship".  And #joeheads you will not be disappointed.  Questions we answer: Does playing violent video games cause an increase in violence?  Are guns a problem in this country?  Are recent abductions in local state parks, goatmen? Stay tuned - you do not wanna miss this episdoe of DRAGONBALL Z!!!

This episode we discuss our favorite female characters in video games, and why. Jess Weaver, and Megan Perkins join us on the podcast, and we address important questions such as: Is using your sexiness as a tool a Kantian dilemma? Is Bayonetta's sexuality an ornament, or who she is? Does Yuffie give a single fuck about the time you spent leveling your Knights of the Round Materia? WHY do you want to go and do that lil' ma? Also, "Joeheads: The New Bread of Neo-Anarchists?" - Pun intended.

In this episode, we each pick two pieces of media, and tell you why needed to have experienced it yesterday. We are joined by Joe Heffner, and have us a hoedown, hootenany.

You hear us talking about the New Super Smash Characters before we start talking about Competitive Gaming and you get frustrated with how inept we are at doing so. You think to yourself, "Where am I? What is this unintelligible noise? Wait a minute. I know this voice. Its John voice." In a flash of clarity you realize that in fact the mystery the symptom of something like a sympathy listen. But then, is it a sympathy listen if you like it? You guess not. But you don't like it - moot point.

Brett, Joe, and John finish talking about True Detective. Zack leaves early again, and we hate and love him in unequal measure. You decide the balance! We discuss Rust's development in further detail. We discuss the lore of the "Yellow King", how Errol may/may not be a pawn, and how the Louisiana bayou is a perfect place to start a religion. At the end, the three of usdiscuss what media we consumed recently. Joe pitches Splatoon, we briefly touch on Fallout 4, and talk in depth about Arkham Knight, and the Witcher 3.

We finally make it to our True Detective episodes! In part 1, Aaron, Christina, and John discuss the general layout of the show and then delve into some heavier analysis. Look forward to Aaron, and I forgetting the names of everyone except Marty and Rust, and Christina bashing Matthew McConaughey for bad acting. We discuss Marty's growth as a character, and Aaron tells you why he hates Maggie for using Rust, and why John thinks she's a boss ass bitch. Christina talks about how the show is a cybernetic copy of her memory, and Aaron and I fight about whether or not the ending was appropriate.

In this episode we explore what is to come of open world gaming franchises and what we hope to see. We get off to rough start, but soon find our stride discussing Zack's addiction to pothead Simulator(Property of Maxis - patent pending) , how Zack & Brett should have way more Mage Cred than they receive in Skyrim, and the word Tertiary - John used it. PS: Look forward to an in depth analysis of True Detective next podcast. PPS: Tertiary Logic as opposed to binary logic, 3^64 logic possibilities rather than 2^64 - quantum computing. Yes, no, and both, brought to you by the principle of superposition.

"A Wolf Lives Here" makes its Introduction.

Brett and Zack bemoan a dog for not literally scaring the shit out of them. John beats three dead horses to life. Satan hails from Outer Heaven(Afghanistan), and we discuss why AAA titles have utterly skull raped middleware.
