Gaming with Grief Podcast

We have a proper fight on our hands. Well, the PC's do anyway. The Iron Regiment has turned against the militia of Vogler. Murder happens. But with the help of some old friends the adventures are able to prevail. Rose doesn't get good marks though. Apparently, Swami wants to give her a review.

I played Hi-Fi Rush and talk about Tango Gameworks. I couldn't beat the game because I'm terrible at rhythm games, but I think the devs at Tango deserve so much credit for doing this. Not only was a game like this okay'd. But it won awards.

It's Wednesday. And the PC's are fighting with some Iron Regiment people. They may or may not have done enough to foil the plot of the turncoats let's see what happens. Remember the episodes of The Table Top Experiment come out once a week now. Remember to like and subscribe.

My wife and I talk about games we’ve been playing including Destiny 2, Paper Marion Thousand Year Door and my wife’s obsession with Animal Well.

It happens to all of us using the internet or recording something. Sometimes you have a great Table Top session and you decide to mute yourself. Ah, the pre-stream check wasn't enough to catch this. Don't worry, it's short, but I recap what happened.

Happy Memorial Day if you're in the United States. If not either way you get an extra episode. The PC’s listen to Becklin give eulogies for the dead, and the group goes shopping with a merchant. They also meet with Becklin at Thornwall Keep. She believes the adventures tale of woe. I’m your host Joseph Carlson, along with the players Jesse Whitehead, Joseph Johnson and Christian Reynolds. Please l...

This week I talk about my full spoiler-filled thoughts on Tales of Kenzera: Zau. The team at Surgent Studios hit a home run with this one. Let's talk about it.

Well this week the group finally makes it to Vogler. Will they fish? Yes, do they see if someone is cheating, if they pass an insight check, or something. Remember episodes come out once a week now, and maybe more. I'm dropping some extra Episodes over the holidays. Enjoy and remember to subscribe. A new episode drops every Wednesday.

Avin and I dive in to the recent protest on campus and the utility of protest and what they mean for the first amendment. It’s a long great discussion this week.

A little bit of a happy episode this week. Since Avin and I have been talking about how different gaming companies are approaching a changing business model in video games this time we talk about Nintendo. Enjoy.

This week the group decides to help the merchant Rhys out with a little problem. That deals with *maybe* dragons. And for the right coin the group helps. Will it be okay? Will someone be turned to stone? Hard to say. Remember, the podcast comes out once a week on Wednesdays now.

This week I'm introducing a new type of review on the podcast: In Memoriam. These will focus on the last games the studios produced before they were closed down. Many of them winning awards. So nothing else will change, they'll come out every Monday like normal, but I'll sprinkle them in here and there over the rest of the year.

Some new players and a brand new setting. Everyone really wanted to travel to the land of Krynn and experience the wonderful world of dragons and queens and...We are running the Shadow of the Dragon Queen adventure module for D&D 5e. To catch you up: We played a few sessions without recording. We were on boarding a new player. To Recap: The PCs were tasked with investigating some prisoner camps to...

Avin from The Grief of Politics joins me this week to talk about Sony's moves and place in the industry. With so many layoffs and studio closures how does a company survive.

We are going to be playing The Shadow of the Dragon Queen module for 5e. We also added a new player. So I thought it would be good to meet them.

It was a difficult road, but I finally finished the game. A great art style and music, and a pretty good message about moving on with grief. We are going to talk about it and if you can pick the game up. Enjoy.

Although I’ve been out of town the last few days I have gotten the chance to play Under the Waves. The game is about 9-10hrs. long. I’m about 3-4hrs. in. A slow and methodical game about the crushing weight of grief. Love what I am playing so far. Full review next week.

Avin and I really focus in on Trump this time. We went over some of the trials(both literal and figurative)that he is going to have to deal with as the Republican nominee for President.

This is just an in-between episode. My wife and I just wanted to make people laugh. Hopefully, hearing the plight of King Ornack(a chicken) and how his people are being slaughtered by The Butcher will give you a chuckle. Don't forget to Subscribe, Like and tell are your other nerdy friends. A new episode hits on the 1st and the 15th of the month.

This week I had Avin on from The Grief of Politics to talk about Microsoft. We discuss some recent statements they made as well as where they are in the industry. I’m just coming to terms with all the crazy stuff that is happening in the games industry this year. Enjoy.

An off-week this week. I just give an update on the things that have been giving me joy lately. So if you want an update on a smattering of things like: D&D, Warhammer 40k and comedy shows, give it a listen.

Something hit my radar which I had to play: Open Roads. A game about family, life and loss. A total surprise of a game that I found really enjoyable. I spoil some elements of the game, but I really enjoyed it.

This is it. We are finally playing in person and the big dragon fight is upon us. Will the Blood Hunters survive? Maybe, will I spend a lot of time editing this episode because of a weird buzzing noise that happened every 2-3 minutes? Yes, the answer to that last question is yes.

My wife and I just sit down and talk about all the games and stuff we've been playing. She likes Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden as well. She's also playing a bunch of games that I'm not playing.

After I published my full review I kept playing Banishers. To my surprise and delight I found more to love about this game then I initially thought and there was something about most of the published reviews that I had seen(IGN, Gamespot, etc.) that needed to be talked about. So let’s do that.
