Storymoders Podcast

Welcome back! It's the MOST WONDERFUL TIME of the year!!! That's right, it's WrestleMania week!!! That means it's the second annual STORYMANIA!!! This year, we're joined by the one, the ONLY, "Spawn On Me" himself, KAHLIEF ADAMS!!! Kahlief is a massive inspiration for us here at Storymoders, and it's an absolute honor to have him join us for this. We chat about ev...

Welcome back! Last week, Nintendo did a lot of yapping about the Switch 2, and we do even more yapping about it here! VerumDex is back to break down everything that was announced in the Direct, including all of the games, all of the specs, and that C button, even though none of us are smart enough to understand it all. While we were a little negative about some of the choices Nintendo made (Seriou...

Welcome back! Things are looking a bit different over at Storymoders HQ, and that's all thanks to our guest, Cameron French a.k.a. The French Dip Design! Cameron absolutely knocked it out of the park, so we had to tell the story of how it all went down. From a soul-searching jaunt throughout the world, to some major construction where we had to break it all down just to build it back up, all t...

Oh, hello! Mike was out last week, so Robert was joined by two AWESOME people in Rose Waltz and NeoAoshi! These two have both been on the podcast before, but they have something in common that brought them here: An unending love for Hideo Kojima and all of the stuff he creates! Last week, they had theories on top of theories about Death Stranding 2, but this week, we talk about Kojima's past p...

Oh, hello! Mike is out this week, so Robert is joined by two AWESOME people in Rose Waltz and NeoAoshi! These two have both been on the podcast before, but they have something in common that brought them here: An unending love for Hideo Kojima and all of the stuff he creates! What started off as a nice chat between a couple of Kojima fans quickly spiraled into a 3-hour epic, covering MGS, Death St...

Oh, hello! LET'S SHRED, BRAH! Blaster Goblin (a.k.a. Quinton) joins us this week to dive deep into the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, and what a dive it is! From playing "Warehouse" from that original Pizza Hut demo disc, all the way to upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, there's A LOT to cover. We talk about some of the greatest games ever made, games that left an impression on a generation of k...

Oh, hello! The GameSwap boys are BACK! Last year, VerumDex played Metal Gear Solid, and NeoAoshi played Kingdom Hearts, and then we had them on to talk about their experiences. The obvious next step was to play the sequels! Just like last time, Neo shepherded Dex through MGS2, and Dex returned the favor to Neo in KH2. Not only were their streams a super fun time, full of fun facts and teaching mom...

Oh, hello! Welcome to year 2 of Storymoders! We celebrated this momentous occasion by putting on livestream with our good friend Arturo! Arturo is an incredible mixologist, and he worked his butt off for this one. We gave him a list of video game characters, and asked him to make a different cocktail for each one. For this stream, he walked us through making the drinks, and we had to guess which d...

Oh, hello! Holy Schnikes! Does that say episode 52?! Does that make this our 1-year anniversary? You know what that means? We're one year closer to the Year 3000!!! I can't wait to live underwater... First and foremost, we want to thank YOU for watching/listening to us for a year, and we're both having a blast recording new episodes, and chatting with cool people every week! Speaking o...

Oh, hello! This week, longtime nemesis of the show, Genny a.k.a. SendNuggies finally joins us, and this one is a doozy. Since this week is also Valentine's Day, you KNOW we only had one thing on our minds: Video Games! Specifically, how characters from those video games like to, uh... how do I put this... "do the deed". How they "make the beast with two backs", if you will....

Oh, hello! Is this right? Is this really our FIFTIETH episode?! WOW! It's been a great ride so far, and we've got NO intention of stopping. TRY TO MAKE US!!! (Please don't try to make us, we'll cry.) We've got a PHENOMENAL one this week, too! Black Sparrow Media's Jamal Page joins us to talk about their upcoming documentary, "Gaming While Black". Jamal (along with...

Oh, hello! It's Royal Rumble weekend!!! Too bad Mike was too sick to keep us on track, because Robert and guest Foxxy Steve spent two Ironman matches worth of time just talking about how cool wrestling is. There's a bit of wrestling game chat, but, to be honest, it's just two friends geeking out about something they love. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, you'll enjoy hearing...

Oh, hello! The Switch 2 is REAL!!! Nintendo has FINALLY revealed the future of gaming, and we have thoughts! Are any of these takes "hot"? Probably not. Are any of them "cold"? I'm not sure what that even means. But, are they all ours? Probably? Look, it's been a long year so far, and I'm already tired. At least we're close to 2026, right? Wait, what? It's o...

Oh, hello! "Hekki grace"! This week, we're joined by Remy Siu, Founder, CEO, Creative Director of sunset visitor, developers of the INCREDIBLE "1000xResist"! We talk about how Covid inadvertently led to the studio's creation, where the inspiration for the game's themes came from, and get a bit lost on a tangent that you might not expect... Remy is so incredibly awes...

Oh, hello! It's a New Year, yes it is!!! We are BACK in fine form, going over the best games we (AND YOU!!!) played in 2024! Not so much a top 10 list, just a chance for us to gush over some AWESOME gaming experiences we had last year. We also got plenty of write-ins and videos from YOU! Thank you so much for those! PLUS, we finally solved the mystery of how to pronounce "1000xResist" in the only...

Oh, hello! This one is a quick one, kind of like a "State of the Podcast" to start off the year. Thank you to everyone who has been rocking with us in 2024, and we've got TONS of cool plans for 2025! Do you have a New Year's resolution? Was there an episode of ours that you really enjoyed? Let us know down in the comments! Please drop a free sub to this here YouTube channel! New episodes drop each...

Oh, hello! Happy Holidays from the Storymoders!!! We're going a little light for the final episode of 2024, since we know most of you will be busy all week. Just a nice time, reminiscing about memories from our childhoods. That first console, spending the day gaming, and now the thrill of watching a loved one open up THEIR gaming gifts. We've got our stories, and a write-in, and it's just a nice,...

Oh, hello! The Keighley's are over, and we've got some stories! Is the director of Wukong ACTUALLY mad about not winning GOTY? Maybe, maybe not, but we chatted a bit about it. There were also HUGE reveals, and deserving winners, which made for a pretty fun night. PLUS! Robert went to the show with all of our guests from last week's episode, and he made something special: A slideshow!!! Plenty of f...

Oh, hello! This week, we're joined by... let me carry the 2... NINE (9) guests! That's right, NINE other people joined the two of us for a LIVE podcast (over on Twitch), where we all went over our predictions and hopes for The Game Awards! It was a whole lotta voices, a little bit chaotic, and a metric ton of FUN! In between official Keighley categories, we came up with a few of our own, and we ha...

Oh, hello! This week, we're joined by not one, not three, but TWO incredible guests, VerumDex & NeoAoshi! These two fine, young cannibals are fans of two different (yet oddly similar...) game series that the other one has never played; Kingdom Hearts (Dex) and Metal Gear Solid (Neo). So, they did what any good friends with backlogs to ignore would do, and they swapped their faves! In November,...

Oh, hello! It's Thanksgiving in the US, so we're taking some time to talk about what we're thankful for. We've had a great year on this here podcast, and it's pretty easy to find things that made real life go by a little easier. Plenty love to go around for friends that have joined us, communities we've found, and a certain video game publisher that put out a bunch of games that Robert loved this...

Oh, hello! It's almost time for The Keighleys! We have the nominees, and we go over (almost) every category! No predictions in this episode, as we have something SPECIAL planned for that, but plenty of conversations! So many INCREDIBLE games came out this year, and it's going to be fun to talk about what brings home awards and what may have gotten the shaft. We're also joined by VerumDex for a bit...

Oh, hello! Look, I'm not proud of the title of this episode. I thought of it when I was half asleep, and it was the funniest thing to me at the time. Now? I'm not even sure if I'm using that term correctly. I just don't know. What I DO know is that this week's episode is all about some of the most subtle anti-capitalist messaging in games from throughout the years! We're talking evil corporations,...

Oh, hello! Fresh off of her run as the Kinda Funny Up and Comer, Madeline Stanley joins us this week to tell us all about it! She gives us the INSIDE SCOOP on how everything went down, from getting the call that she'd been chosen, to her day-to-day rundowns, and she shares some stories about what the people at Kinda Funny are REALLY like! (Turns out, they're, like, super nice and chill) We also ta...

Oh, hello! We're finally back in the swing of things, and this week is (if you haven't figured this out by the title alone, I don't know what I can do for you) ALL ABOUT ESPORTS! We're joined by my good friend Brandon Arendt, aka Coach Brandon, who teaches us all about what goes into making esports more than just playing games. Brandon's played in high-level Halo leagues, co-owned an esports org,...
