Play, Watch, Listen

This week, FROSTPUNK 2! 

This week, AUSTIN TURNS 40 (technically over a week ago at the time of publishing). So, we indulge him with almost an entire episode about Star Wars (Outlaws) and video game bugs.

This week, Alanah, Austin, and Mike discuss the economic state of the games industry and if game prices need to go from $60 to $70.

After a month off, we have returned to bring you TOP QUALITY VIDEO GAME CONTENT! But mostly, a lot of us talking about the TV show The Expanse. And Sex in the City?

Austin, Mike, and Alanah chat about Austin's demanding freelance schedule, the GamePass price increase (and GamePass' impact as a whole), and the Halifax Harbor Explosion. Note: almost all details of said Halifax explosion are, indeed, incorrect.

Alanah and Mike discuss OLD game development! And Myst! 

This week we talk about Summer Game Fest and, because we never stay on topic, music licensing! Also featuring Rahul. 

This episode features journalist Nathan Grayson chatting to Mike and Alanah about the state of games journalism (and that side of the industry) in 2024. This comes after IGN announced multiple aquisitions.

This week, Alanah and Austin chat to one of the creators of the Fallout franchise, Tim Cain, all about the Fallout TV show. Includes spoilers.

This week, we talk to Abubakar Salim about his transition from actor to full-blown game director. How did he do it!?

Featuring Rahul Kohli, and the return of Troy, AND we're all in the same room!?

This week, Mike and Alanah chat about GDC, LinkedIn, business cards, and give great life advice.

A LOT OF TOPICS THIS WEEK, WE SIMPLY CAN'T BE CONTAINED.

This week Mike and Alanah chat about the continued lay-offs impacting the games industry.

It's an Austin and Alanah special, and we actually talk about video games the WHOLE TIME!? This week, we talk about games we wish we could play again, and games that fundamentally 'change' however many hours in.

The title says it all, I don't understand what more context you could possibly need?

Apologies for the weird audio mix here. Regardless, this week we talk about Society of the Snow (a little), and then delve into the world of AI and capitalism. Again. Oh no.

This is publishing a little later than planned because of internet issues, but this week we talk about Cunk on Earth, game direction, and more! Thanks for another year of listening to Play, Watch, Listen, everyone!

You can't talk about good games this year without also talking about lay-offs, so hey, let's do both!

This week, Austin and Alanah chat to Rahul (actor) and Andy (composer and 1/2 of the Newton Brothers) about their work on The Fall of the House of Usher! Also, Stray Gods gets nominated for a Grammy, and the F1 Grand Prix debuts in Vegas. Apologies for the audio levels.

An update on the Unity system, and an important question: do you own any baskets? Why?

This week, Mike and Alanah go over some of the biggest question's about Starfield.

We're back! This week Austin chats about Jacob Collier - apparently the best musician alive - and then Alanah asks Mike and special guest Rami Ismail all about the Unity drama.

This week, Mike and Alanah discuss some of the responses to Baldur's Gate 3's exceptional quality.

We have our first ever guest! Summerfall Games' Liam Esler joins Alanah and Austin to talk about Taylor Swift's enormous Eras Tour, plus, of course, the launch of Stray Gods.
