Video Game Logic Podcast

Good day folks! We finally recorded our gameclub for Civ 6 as well as discussed a number of other things in a freestyle franken type recording, but rest assured this is fresh content. We hope you enjoy!

Greetings! We have another classic episode update to put on the feed this week. If all goes well, Rage's work schedule is changing and will allow us a more guaranteed recording slot to utilize within in the next week or so. 

We have another one of these update/clean ups of a classic episode of ours to help account for the ongoing family disaster stealing Jared away from recording. We hope you have a good and safe weekend and we'll see you soon!

This week we recorded some franken style content telling Jared's clinic drama as he moves to start his own business. There's some other stuff here too, and we'll be getting to the game club in the next real episode!

This week Rage had very bad work scheduling and so we knew from the start we'd have a Franken Episode. We hope you enjoy this one and will see you again soon. 

This week, the two of us recorded some "franken" style content for an episode because it was very late when we started. We don't want to do this all the time, but it helps us stay a little more current when work is very much in the way. We hope you enjoy!

We did in fact record this week, and it was an intentional Franken style episode. Things went a little awry and we got a very late start, but we did start! There is a smattering of topics such as a brief glimpse into what the franken episode might look like, some steam summer sale talk, and magical adventure to some anime horse girls. Yes. That is a real game and anime. 

This week the episode goes up late. Jared had a very serious plague, and was more or less out of commission until this morning. Where he promptly forgot to do the franken edit until late in the afternoon. He will be severely punished in a way he isn't into, and will get back to you next week. Enjoy!

This week scheduling conflict got in the way again, but I recorded a little something about a several games I have been playing that won't make into the main show at some point. Enjoy! and we'll keep trying to schedule ourselves correctly to record a new show. 

This week we needed to do another re-upload. Work schedules and tech issues prevented us from getting together with enough solid time to record an episode. We hope you enjoy this episode, chosen because May is Mental Health Awareness month, which is an update and re-upload of the gameclub episode covering A Normal Lost Phone, and Another Lost Phone. 

This is a small snippet of franken episode from the last recording. We were unable to record this week due to a tornado tearing through Jared's location. He's fine, but the infrastructure was down for a few days of recovery. So we were unable to record or do a larger franken piece this week. We hope you enjoy none the less!

This week we needed to run a franken due to work and other scheduling conflicts being unresolvable again. We'll be back soon!

This week a member of Jared's family had a medical emergency, and so he had to go help deal with that. So, we bring you Franken content from the most recent recording. We will see you for Belatro next week!

This week detectives Shrink and Rage are on the case with Tex Murphy for a late, but present, gameclub episode. Enjoy!

There once was a time when we questioned podcasts taking long hiatus periods or doing old re-releases on this show. How nieve we were! Life once again stands in the way. Rage's new job and work schedule combined with my own major career changes again makes it hard to record. We believe next week's schedule hold solid promise for recording, and we can finally get past Tex Murphy onto the next gameclub and some regular shenanigans. We love and appreciate you so much. 

This week, Rage is busy with work, and Jared is busy at a marriage and family therapy conference getting to learn and talk all about sex! Due to those pesky adult scheduling conflicts, we were not able to get together again. A few weeks ago a re-release and old episode where the RSS feed from how we used to upload the show has broken. So we have another blast from the past. We have put together our gameclub list, and we will be updating you soon on what games we've put up so you can start playing as well if you'd like.
