Do It On The Day: A Video Game Podcast by Jess McDonell

its a new episode of do it on the day and jess is sick so let's tackle a nice breezy topic: game review scores!!! i went into this ep thinking they almost entirely didn't matter minus one reason why they did and came away with a bunch of reasons why they do. i'd love to hear what you think!!

crimson desert is awesome, and awful, it really depends who you ask. here are jess's thoughts on the matter and a bunch of factors that should clear up if this is going to be your GOTY or a game you wish you could return x

mixtape has been picking up 10/10s all over the place so jess talks about why people are loving this one so much and the specific things that it manages to pull off that set it apart from other games in the narrative-based space

Pragmata is really something special and absolutely not to be missed as a GOTY contender. Here are Jess's early review impressions and the big two things you need to know about why it's so impressive!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE! dont worry im back and i bring you the one-two jessica special: a very complicated 'lets talk about it' story about an indie dev's trailer being cut from the BAFTAs due to its subject matter AND the new thing that happened with GTA. because of course.

oh my, the only thing to talk about this week is NVIDIA's announcement for their new DLSS 5 software, revamping the look of your favourite games into upscaled masterpieces. except they look like face-tuned instagram filter monstrosities.

this week jessica is 15 hours deep into resident evil requiem! we talk about why it's so important to the survival horror genre, talk all sorts of horror experiences and the psychology behind why we love them, and what it is that makes the genre is so above and beyond fantastic x

Resident Evil 9 is my first Resident Evil game and I think it should be yours!! (just go with me on this one, i promise i'll explain why, haha)

how much more expensive can video games even get and what are the implications of their insane price tags? here's the details of bloomberg's editorial on the topic and jess's take on the unsustainable price hike (also a lil talk about the sony showcase!)

this week on the pod i talk about MULTIPLE THINGS! overwatch dropping the 2 is funny, i feel a bit sorry for highguard and i tell you about the most unique game you'll ever play (up until now)

disclaimer: almost didnt publish this lol, i do hope you like it though <3 i think gaming is a fascinating lens to examine my life and the world around me and the people within it so here are some personal stories and a bit of jessica life advice, i hope you get something out of it x

WHAT A WEEK. if one singular part of the ubisoft developments over the last week had happened it would be huge news but there's like a dozen different huge things that happened all at once so let's get into it

this week we chat about a game that definitely isn't a new resident evil game (but you'd be forgiven for thinking so) making headlines for its title, playstation forwardly promoting it, and generally personifying, as one person put it: "we have resident evil at home at home". spoiler: jessica finds this very funny let's talk about games that rip off existing titles and what o...

it's our tenth episode yayayayay!!! lets celebrate with CAKE (seriously, there's cake, wait for it) AND a conversation about microtransactions and what on earth is happening with them. yeah, keeping it lowkey and breezy for this ep. keen for your thoughts x

it's award time!!! 2025 is done and dusted and had plenty of great video games. here is a set of completely random (and some sensible) award categories that you may enjoy. all of these awards are objective fact (completely subjective not facts decided upon largely via whim by yours truly) let me know your picks for who would win in these very weird categories in the comments :)

so many people told me to play fallout: new vegas and here i am 40 odd hours deep, here's what i think about it, all the good, bad, and the ghoul-ish. plus what it's like using the viva new vegas mod oo. hope you like it ;) x

two things happened this weeki saw fallout season 2 early and i wanna tell you my thoughts about italso AI MAY BE DESTROYING VIDEO GAMES AS WE KNOW THEM, WILL THEY EVER RECOVER??keen to hear your thoughts on both of these extremely chill topics :D x

welcome to a game awards 2025 special!! jess gives you the rundown on her favourite announcements including a new divinity game from larian and kotor 3, as well as her... less favourite announcements... tune in for all the sick trailers and details :)

it's podcast time! today on "Do It On The Day" we discuss the wild world of gaming release dates, what works, what doesn't, and whether it's even possible to change the game. we also talk cloverpit, oversaturated gaming genres, and an upcoming surprise episode...

in this episode: jessica talks about what she thinks about the steam machine, why it's the same as paramount plus, the major issues with VR (and why it's the same as cyberpunk 2077), and how you can do it on the day by reminding yourself "if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly" :)

Hello again!!! It's time for Do It On The Day: A Video Game Podcast episode 3 :) Herein you can find my early impressions of Dispatch, my favourite thing about The Outer Worlds 2, advice I would give to little Jessica about livestreaming, and chatting about why I love the horror genre so much.

Notable quotes from today's episode: "someone like me who is f-ing insane and has no other hobbies or interests" "anyway so that's the end of the segment about how to manipulate your friends" "stock go down: company scared, stock go up: company happy" It's Do It On The Day: Episode 2!!! Today I talk about why the GTA delay is funny, video game genres don&#...
