Gaming with Grief Podcast

I talk a lot about the Cave, which is the heart of this game. Come have a listen.

I talk more about the themes and research that went into making Apart of Me. I also listen and talk about a BBC podcast about grief and loss that mentions Apart of Me.

I give a little bit of a spooky preview of Gotham Knights and my wife, who plays more horror games then I ever will talks about Resident Evil 8: Village and the Winters’ Expansion.

I sit down and talk about an iPad game called Apart of Me and the brand new release Gotham Knights. Both deal with talking about grief in different ways and I’m enjoying both.

I finally got to the finish line with this one, and what a great game. So many astounding things were said about grief and coming to grips with it.

GotG totally changed itself, from what I thought it was going to be. In a great way. This is just a teaser for the full spoilercast next week.

This week I talk about the Marvel character Sentry and his battle with mental health.

GotG had me thinking about what it means to be a friend, and once again I turn to psychology today.

I go into full spoilers, also the game was grief-lite but great. Enjoy the chat.

I talk about both games, and also some mellow games that I have been playing in-between reviews.

Although parts of the game were great, I think that the controls held this game back from being playable. It’s a shame.

I talk about two games that I have playing to relax and decompress with. A shorter episode, but fun.

I finally finished To the Moon, what a great game.

A quick detour this week. Let’s talk about sad stuff.

I talk about the game To the Moon and Arise: A Simple Story. I’m only a little bit into both of them and just give a quick nuts and bolts rundown and will go into a full Spoilercast for both of them in the next few weeks.

I talk about the 2016 game The Division from Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment. It’s a little dark, with Covid I guess it was on my mind.

My internet was down for most of the week, so I played a charming little puzzle game called In Bento. I also talk about the original Division game. It’s been on my mind.

I do a deep dive into the PS4 game Marvel’s Spiderman, and the PS5 game Spiderman: Miles Morales and talk about how Miles deals with grief over the death of his father.

My wife and I sat down and played a little bit of The Quarry. A new horror game by the same people that brought you Until Dawn.

My wife and I both played and talk about TNMT Shredder’s Revenge and Here to Slay Card Game Impressions. Spoilers: We loved both of them.

I talk about the Wholesome Direct 2022 and two impressions of the demos I played: How to Say Goodbye and Potion Permit. Enjoy.

I go in to some politics and a deep dive of 1979 Revolution. Check it out. Total spoilers are active for this episode.

I give my spoiler-filled thoughts on That Dragon Cancer, and the making of documentary “Thank you for Playing”. It’s a heavy talk but I really enjoyed both of the things.

This week I talk about the 2016 game That Dragon, Cancer and another 2016 game 1979: Black Friday, Revolution. It’s pretty intense.

This week I give my final impressions of Portal 2 and the board game Elder Sign. Listen up.
