Storymoders Podcast

Oh, hello! A bit of a scheduling shuffle this week caused a slight headache, but we're (semi-semi-SEMI) professionals! Mike and Robert take a look ahead to the end of 2024, and check out some games that are still to come. While this year has already POPPED OFF for gamers, it's not over yet. Long awaited games like "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2" and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" are nearing release, and...

Oh, hello! We may or may not have forgotten to pick a topic for this episode ahead of time, so... We just had a fun chat about games we've been playing! Mike is on new game plus in Armored Core 6, Robert is (unsurprisingly) addicted to Metaphor: ReFantazio, and they talk all about them! Plus, Robert tells the backstory of the video he made for KFBF Madeline Stanley, and how the whole thing came ab...

Oh, hello! You know 'em. You love 'em. Even if other people didn't. Not every "bad" game is bad to everyone, and we're celebrating those games this week! Between Mike, Robert, and YOU sending us your thoughts, we're chockfull of games that didn't spark joy for everyone, but are still loved in our hearts. Which games did we miss? What is YOUR favorite "bad" game, and why do you love it? Let us know...

Oh, hello! We're all about DLC this week! It's the thing we all love to hate these days, but how many story expansions are just AWESOME? We're talking The Witcher 3, we're talking Fallout: New Vegas, we're talking... Forza Horizon 4? Plus, we got some GREAT write-ins, and we LOVED to talk about them! Robert also takes a bit of time to talk about his time with the Metaphor: ReFantazio demo. Did he...

Oh, hello! This week, we're diving into the world of Hollywood stars who have dipped their toes (and sometimes more) into the world of video game voice acting! Voices of some of the most ICONIC video game characters of all-time may have faces you recognize. That's not to say that voice acting is an easy gig, we all know how demanding professional voice acting can be. But, the examples in t...

Oh, hello! This week, Mike and Robert have been going through it. SO! In a bid to try and cheer ourselves up, we decided to just talk about the positives of gaming, and the memories we have with PlayStation. While Robert's "Astro's Playroom" countdown plays, the guys chat about getting their first consoles for Christmas, the best games on each gen, and more! Come, chill out, and...

Oh, hello! This is episode 30, y'all! It's a whole milestone for our little podcast! For 30 straight weeks, we've posted a new episode, and you've been there with us the whole time. If you think we're any good, share us with your friends, and let's try to grow a bit! This week, Mike gets to gush about one of his favorite games: Armored Core VI. He takes the driver's sea...

Oh, hello! Wow, do we have a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. one for you this week! You know we love Fallout here, and Robert has been obsessed with the new Fallout London mod. Since Mike hasn't played it much, he needed to find someone else to talk about it with, and who better than one of the voice actors from the game! Letitia Lemon voices multiple characters in Fallout London, as well as appearing in a ton...

Oh, hello! HAVE NO SHAME! We all have backlogs, so let's talk about them! We asked you, our beautiful listeners, about your backlogs, and we go through our own Steam libraries to prove that there's nothing wrong with having many (many, many...) games to play! From the entire Yakuza series, to fan remakes of classics, we all have a ton of things we'll TOTALLY get to one day. Think of it...

Oh, hello! Holy schnikes, TWO guests?! The party just keeps on growing, and we've decided to just roll with it! We've got a special treat this week with TWO games that we played, so let's get to it! First, our new friend Kozibear brings the game show energy with "Behind the Mask", a fun trivia segment where we try to determine WHO is behind some of the most iconic video game...

Oh, hello! Look, we'll be honest, we're both exhausted this week, so we reached into our bag of "don't really have to try" ideas, and VOILA! Our first TIER RANKING episode! This week, we chose a controller list, and we rank them on, uh... somewhat random... criteria. Like, maybe some things went higher due to legacy, or went lower simply because it weighed less than Mario&#39...

(For the 25th time!!!) Oh, hello! We've hit the 25 episode milestone, and it feels SO good! This week, we're joined by the Battle Royale GOD, JimTasty (a.k.a. Bret)! He recently challenged himself to a pretty crazy goal of getting 100 Fortnite wins during the Avatar event, and he tells us how he did it! We also dig into other battle royales, and show off some clips of different clutch play...

Oh, hello! We're in a bit of a retro mood this week, so we decided to reminisce on our favorite peripherals from yesteryear! Some of these might be very familiar to some our aging audience (If you remember needing memory cards, this is your reminder to refill your weekly meds), and some are just ones we've never been able to forget about. We also might have come down with a case of "W...

When Mike is away, Robert will play (music, at high volumes)! Don't be confused, you're not in the wrong place! Mike went on vacation and left me (Robert) in charge, so I'm doing something a bit different. I've had this idea for a music podcast for a while now, and the best person I could turn to is our good friend Gage Luke from Neon Pocket Dimension! We used this episode as a sor...

FOR REAL! YES! For REAL! If you've been with us this whole time, you'll know that Robert is a fan of a game series called Persona, and there's no time like the present to teach Mike all about it! We deep dive into the origins of the series, cover all FOUR versions of Persona 3, and Robert recommends which game/s to start off your journey with. If you're a fan of JRPGs, visual novel...

Oh, hello, you capitalist pigs! Just kidding! We all love buying dumb things sometimes, right? This week, we tried to find some of the weirdest, dumbest, and most incredible video game tie-in merch, and we're sharing our findings with YOU!!! From some newer items (Nuka Cola Victory!) to some 80's classics (Remember cereal? Crazy, right?), we've got a WIDE range of merchandise, some of...

Oh, hello, fellow fireworks watchers! Since this episode went up on July 4th, we decided to celebrate the only way we know how: Talking about the MOST AMERICAN games ever made! We had a ton of responses from you all, and we tried to get through it all, but it was too much. Plenty of talk about American staples like Duke Nukem, Cruisin' USA, and, of course, Helldivers 2! Whether it's a cool...

Oh, hello, you crazy vault hunters! I know we've used this joke before, but can you believe we've made it to TWENTY episodes!? This has been an incredible ride so far, and we have no intention of letting up! This week, Mike teaches Robert all about one of his favorite game franchises, Borderlands! We check out the trailer for the upcoming movie, and then Mike talks about the lore, mechanic...

Oh, hello, you tasty morsels! Just like last week, we've returned with another episode! We're getting closer and closer to that big 100th episode special! In this one, we're joined by a SUPERSTAR, MadExposure (aka Madeline)! She joins us as we talk all about our most memorable horror games and experiences, the sheer awesomeness of Until Dawn, and whether or not P.T. is a true Silent Hi...

Oh, hello, you absolute miracles! Your 6th favorite video game podcast hosted by a ginger and a car guy is here with our thoughts on all of the showcases from Keigh-3 weekend!

We figured out how to show the clips, too! Who e...

Oh, hello! We are back with a very contentious topic! This week, we're talking about those video game sidekicks we just HATE! The games probably want you to love them, but for reasons that we'll get into, we just can't Maybe they get in the way, or maybe they're just awful human beings. Plus, we give a few predictions/hopes for the upcoming PlayStation State of Play. Will we get an...

Oh, hello! We've returned from the Wasteland, and we're back to our regularly scheduled programming! This week, we've both brought some ideas for game sequels we'd LOVE to see! Maybe it's a franchise that hasn't been around in a while, or a game that was under-appreciated for its time. Either way, these two idiots want to see more of them! What game sequels would YOU like t...

Oh, hello! As promised, here is the second half of episode 14! Once again, we're joined by the phenomenally phenomenal VerumDex to talk about the season finale of Fallout on Prime. After we recap that, we talk about our hopes and theories for season 2, and where the show will be going to when it comes back. A lot of talking, a lot of banter, a few weird cuts here and there (due to a lot of dri...
