Front Seat Gamer

Get ready for the biggest Sifi word salad you’ve ever heard! Nick and Paul have been hooked for months on the game CiFi. Blake cannot understand a word they say about it.

Nick defends his Zelda and Doom comparison. While Blake defends his purchase of another Early Access Survival, Village Management Game. But this time Nick and Paul don’t hate it!

Episode #206 Does buying a game based on a promise always end in disappointment? How important is a developer Road Map? Should every Zelda be a Breath of the Wild? How much Slorm is too much slorm?

This week, AI is still taking our jobs. Paul spends his nights in a dungeon while putting fruit in a hole and filling a room with gnomes. Blake loses his mind while Nick and Paul explain a mining game.

Ever wondered about the NZ Education System in the early 2000s, or if AI will take your job, or when cannons were invented, or when the Dodo Bird went extinct. Well, we talk about it all, on this video game podcast

AI in games seems inevitable. What do we think about it? What do we think about big companies replacing people with it? Also what happens when your cat goes mad and keeps pooping out rocks?

It’s a new year and we’re talking about the failure of NFT games. Gambling on babies in space. Breaking our legs on ladders. Finding murder dens. Creating wizard empires. And evolving little slime people.

Blake makes a PoE easter egg promise to justify his lazy gardening. Nick comes up with a dungeon master run live rpg cryptid hunting game. Paul remembers the good old days or WoW

Paul falls off Silk Song while Nick falls more in love with it. Blake falls into a medieval simulation and gets annoyed at his teleporting horse. We also have a lot of great listener questions this week.

Blake tells of how he was Molyneuxed by Fable. Nick tells of how nice the LoL community is now that chat is turned off. And both Paul and Nick tell of their time in the long awaited Silksong!

Nick writes in with his own question this week. Paul is builds an empire of industry, endlessly mining coal. And Blake passively absorbs Scotland. We also complain like old men, how WoW was back in our day.

This week we are joined by GGG Artist James Hurlock, who worked a lot on PoE1 Kingsmarch. We discuss how easter eggs can fuel a community and how to grow giant vegetables and raise dinosaurs.

Paul’s away this week so it’s just Nick and Blake, complaining about game prices and how hard old games are. They have both been out text-adventuring although Nick has also been using his backpack has a weapon.

How do we justify buying a new game console? Are triple A games too expensive now? Are there cheaper indi alternatives? Why is Blake buying another early access survival game?

We’ve all been getting our daily steps, opening doors that lead to rooms that lead to doors that lead to rooms. This week we’re discussing Blue Prince. There will be spoilers, but we warn you when.

Another two weeks have passed and Nick and Paul have been busy collecting items and fighting pigmen. We complain about the price of games and consoles and get confused, like old men, by Xbox versions.

We’re joined by GGG Game Designer Dameo to talk about killing gods, making suns, throwing black holes going to heaven and hell and alternate dimensions and finally just dying in some acid

Paul is away this week so Nick and Blake go cave diving by themselves. Nick has an even worse fungal infection that sprounds new arms and hands. While Blake discovers he is a bird person cowboy.

Nick has a talkative fungal infection and backpack OCD. Paul is running around shanking people with a heavily armoured warlock. While Blake is neck deep in conveyor belts and trunk logistics.

Nick does not find Satisfactory satisfactory. Blake loses more time in his factory. Paul says we can buy PoE2 now. And we’ve all been playing the game and have lots to say about it.

Blake loses a whole day to organising sticks and researching slugs. Nick loses his mind spraying sticky people and tapping tutorial buttons . And Fabian gives advice on how not to play Monster Hunter.

We’re joined by PoE Artist Fabian to talk about Space Marines and Japanese Gangers. We take our best guesses at Warhammer 40k lore. And we wonder if hyper real graphics are worth striving for.

Blake goes in search for that classic MMO vibe and rediscovers Elder Scrolls Online. Nick spends three decades exploring the same city. And we all wish we could play as a middle aged Ash Ketchum.

Nick complains about invisible paths and rival Cabaret Clubs. Paul complains about XP boosts while chasing nostalgia. Blake stop complaining about rocks and starts loving puzzles.

Blake plays an amazing game but won’t shut up about the rocks. Paul drowns under the pressure of the ocean and the pressure of running a business. Nick gets into real-estate and karaoke with the Yakuza
