Play, Watch, Listen

We celebrate 60 episodes with a discussion of everything except for the actually trending Mortal Kombat topic.

This week, we talk about YouTube, performances, what to look for in a job, and Jeff Kaplan leaving Blizzard. Surprising nobody, it's a real grab bag. Also, next week's episode will be live-streamed on YouTube!

Apologies for the break last week, BUT WE'RE BACK! We don't have a Troy, but we do have discussions about what QA does, VR porn, and if social media is needed to get into the games industry.

This week's episode covers multiple perspectives on the audition process, specifically for voice acting in games. And that's pretty much it. No, really, we stayed on topic almost the entire time. This will never happen again. 57 will be spoken about for ages to come. All hail 57.

This week, we're dressed very fancy. You can't see that if you're listening to the audio version, but I felt you should know.

This week, we talk about the importance of conductors (for orchestras, though I'm sure both scientific conductors and train conductors are super important too), visiting the sets of Blockbuster films, game design, and how video games are in their 'teenage' years. Also, WE HAVE NEW MERCH!

I have had so many problems getting the audio for this episode to publish that I give up on re-writing the description again. 

This week, Alanah, Troy, Mike, and Austin talk about this year's BAFTA nominees across most of the categories. We also delve into Point and Click Adventure games and our mixed thoughts on The Queen's Gambit.

gib nice review on aplpy podcast pls

No really, we mostly talk about science. And then a bit about what we consider a "scientist" to be, and then like the tiniest bit about TLOU casting at the very end. "Video Game Podcast."

We made it to 50 episodes, what!? This week, we discuss how CD Projekt's data breach may actually influence the company, and Warner Bros' decision to patent the Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor.

This week, we talk about how we'd like to die, and naturally that leads right into physics in video games. Also, jumping on trains, Tenet (sort of), and what individuals can bring to a job in the games industry.

This week, we're almost definitely getting demonetized on YouTube because of explicit fish content. We also talk about The Last of Us Part 2 winning a whole lot of GotY awards, plus how COVID influenced us over the last year.

This week, Alanah wanted to talk about game demos but really we just ended up speaking about how much we like Hitman, and I0 Interactive.

What does this mean for Play, Watch, Listen's #1 topic: Star Wars?

This week, we try to talk about The Medium, but mostly end up talking about the coup on the Capitol building, and a whole lot of The Mandalorian Season 2 (no spoilers).

Aaaand we're back, hello 2021! This week, we talk about what we did over our Christmas break, a whole lot about video game music and composition thanks to The Pathless, and our thoughts on Pixar's "Soul".

But really we talk about almost everything else, including Seinfeld, Batman: The Animated Series, and Assassin's Creed.

This week, we talk about this year's Game Awards, plus Troy's hygiene, the shirt physics in the last of us, and juries.

We also talk about electric cars, Christmas movies, the most polarizing Star Wars films, Baby Yoda, neighbours having arguments, and... somehow more.

This episode was recorded live to celebrate 40 episodes of PWL, and also, in part, our one year anniversary! We share some of our highlights of working in the industry, and our love for the show.

This week, we talk about... toilets. Also a little on Alanah's new job, Austin's audition processes, and chasing awards.

This week, the boys go rogue and I am not responsible for any part of it. Also, cannibalism and open-world video games on the PlayStation 5.

TWO EPISODES IN ONE WEEK, WHAT!? On this episode of everyone's favourite video game podcast, we almost entirely talk about education, politicians, and social media. 

This week, Alanah, Austin, Troy, and Mike talk about video games, violence, and empathy. This is part 1 of episode 37, part 2 will be published as a bonus episode tomorrow.
