If you've been around on the internet recently, you've probably seen people discussing their (good or bad) takes on implementing Artificial Intelligence in the video game development cycle. I'm here to tell y'all that all of their opinions are dookie and that you should listen to the Player Player boys instead. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

The legend is finally back and ready to give his take on the TLOU TV Show. That's right folks, for the first time in over a month the original Player Player Podcast team is suited, booted, and ready to talk shop. Join us as we discuss how the long awaited first season of The Last of US HBO show did in our eyes. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

This week was pretty uneventful because both Amanda and I (Joseph) were stuck quarantining in the house for the entire week. Covid sucks. Stay safe out there kids! -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod   Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica

Joseph and Amanda have been down sick with the vid, so in their spare time they've been playing a lil game called The Quarry. Check out our initial thoughts on our very first Supermassive experience. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Jacob https://twitter.com/JacobMcCourt Luke https://twitter.com/lukewarmlewis Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Long story short I (Joseph) record the main episode and this cooldown episode as Covid was right about to snatch all the fun out of my body for a few days. So sadly I had no energy to edit or upload this audio file...until now of course, which is how you are reading this description right now...anyways enjoy! -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod   Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica time we set the record straight. Not just that, but we need to talk about what it actually means to have a good narrative in video games. It can't just be as easy as having the best script and cutscenes...can it? -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Jacob https://twitter.com/JacobMcCourt Luke https://twitter.com/lukewarmlewis   Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild     Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

There's a lot of God of War Ragnarok narrative slander going around, and it's time we set the record straight. Not just that, but we need to talk about what it actually means to have a good narrative in video games. It can't just be as easy as having the best script and cutscenes...can it? -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Jacob https://twitter.com/JacobMcCourt Luke https://twitter.com/lukewarmlewis Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Joseph pulls in his partner in (metaphorical) crime onto the show to talk a lot about pretty much nothing. This is a good one I promise. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod   Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild     Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Joseph and Luke discuss Valentines day, games they've been playing, and PAX East as we head into the weekend. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Luke https://twitter.com/lukewarmlewis Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Friend of the show Luke Lewis fills in for Arsene as we do a deep dive on the brand new Psychonauts 2 documentary: PsychOdyssey. This really might be one of the best video game documentaries ever y'all. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Luke https://twitter.com/lukewarmlewis Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Arsene is out with a baby so it's the first week with a new guest and let me tell you we are spitting some hot takes. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Jacob https://twitter.com/JacobMcCourt https://twitter.com/Cutscenes_Pod Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

It was a Nintendo Direct week so you know what we talked about, and by we mean Joseph and the special guest Jacob McCourt. Arsene is Nintendo Directing his newborn baby around right now so you know he doesn't have the time to jump on the episode this week. Instead Jacob and I (Joseph) debate the quality of the latest Nintendo Direct.  -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Jacob https://twitter.com/JacobMcCourt https://twitter.com/Cutscenes_Pod Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Arsene is still not a father but he did cry watching the latest episode of TLOU so I guess that's a decent substitute discussion. See you all next week. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

We start the episode by diving into arguably on of the top 2 Xbox games of the New ERA (TM) and then go off into a discussion about the state of the major game makers and how they evolved in recent years.   It's a bit of a chaotic listen but it's also one of our best discussions -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

We're doing a cool new thing where we split our existing podcast into two separate podcasts. So the main show will continue to be on Thursdays, and the preshow will be released as a separate Friday episode. Just so people who want one specific thing can get it more easily. Anyways, enjoy the talk and have a swell weekend. -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

Pedro and Bella are the talk of the town now that The Last of Us HBO is finally out, and people are already claiming this is the pinnacle of video game adaptations...do they have a point? -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman

We're wrapping the year as we always do, with a big ol' game of the year ranking video. We highlight over 10 of our favorite games of the year, many of which might surprise you. Join us in ringing in the new year which will be full of quality content, barring any hiatuses' that might come with the pending birth of Arsene's lil kid.   P.S. -  Sorry for the dog water audio. Riverside FM is compressing the hell out of our vocals but we should be able to fix them going forward! -------- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica   Kofi https://ko-fi.com/th3hoopman
