Play, Watch, Listen

This week, we talk about Troy lying about riding a horse, the TV show The Offer (for some reason?), and if any of us have ever known ahead of release if what we're working on is "good".

This week, we are excited to GET TO MAKIN' MORE CREATIVE STUFF WITH PATREON! Plus, we stay shockingly on topic with discussions on The Boys season 3, completely spoiler-free.

This week, we spoke about fake leakers, swatting, and video game writing that feels like pandering.

This week, the whole squad is here to discuss good vs bad game design, floppy disks, games being saved on cartridges, and actors.

Also, cows and fireflies, or something.

This was a difficult episode to title because we spoke about 1,000 different things, so note that the title was an attempt but is not really a large focus of the episode. SORRY. I'M BAD AT PROJECT MANAGEMENT. 

This week, we largely talk about the episode of Love, Death + Robots that Troy is in, called Bad Travelling.

I guess we caught up on some MEDIA!

Featuring the point of play-testing, separating art from artist, Elden Ring, privilege, and "choice" in a workplace. But also feet. Sorry.

This week, we talk about Gotham Knights and then somehow rapidly progress into discussing games industry contracts, and their prevalence.

Join Alanah Pearce (video game writer), Troy Baker (video game actor), Austin Wintory (video game composer), and Mike Bithell (video game director) as they celebrate ONE HUNDRED EPISODES of Play, Watch, Listen! This was streamed live on Twitch earlier this week, featuring the first ever PWL trivia. 

This week, the team discusses Spaghetti Westerns, inflated hours for game releases, and plans for EPISODE 100!

We actually mostly talk about government and religion, as is tradition every 25 episodes or something.

Journey turned 10, so this week we largely celebrate the release of Austin's new album, called "Traveler - A Journey Symphony".

This week, Alanah and Austin talk about, er, how they record audio for the show, the game-musical Austin is working on, the Oscars removing certain categories from the show, Epic Game buying Bandcamp, and Boba Fett.

This week, Alanah, Mike, and Austin are IN THE SAME ROOM!? We talk about how events like DICE are useful for those in the games industry, and what 'networking' really is.

This week, we talk about Nintendo Direct! Mostly, I think. I'll be honest, I wasn't there for the start of the episode and I haven't had time to watch it. They could've spoken about absolutely anything, which would be on brand. Idk, maybe this episode is about the definition of the word 'alacrity' and John Williams. Your guess is as good as mine.

This week, we mostly talk about movies that came out over a decade ago. And then Poker. And then Age of Empires! Thank God for Austin.

This week, for some reason (?), Austin, Alanah, and Mike delve into STATISTICS, discussing console sales and the percentage of hardware owners that end up buying first-party exclusives.

This week, it's just Alanah and Mike, ready to discuss what will undoubtedly be the biggest gaming news of 2022.

Troy tweeted something very pro-NFT, and trended on Twitter as a result. Here's us talking about that.

This week, we do such a good job of staying on topic. Wow. Amazing. Iconic. Flawless. We talk about The Matrix Resurrections, mostly. This isn't a prank! We really did!

Alanah is in a car, sorry about that. This week, we talk about our favourite games of 2021 (but not necessarily from 2021), and very vaguely touch on Spider-Man and The Matrix.

On this week's episode, we share an animated clip (that will be on YouTube when this publishes, if you'd like to go see it!), before jumping right into NFTs, and ending with some talk of Arcane.

This week, Austin and Mike discuss Game Awards until Alanah joins and suddenly it becomes about homelessness? Even I didn't see that one coming, and I am aforementioned "Alanah".
