GearWERKZ.net Presents: the Regular Joe Gamer Podcast, Episode #10
May 18th, 2012The start of a brand new day. Four friends from a social gaming website got together for a Skype call and a podcast broke out. Meet Jerry (Zeux), Rachel (ChemicalRachel), Sascha (Bpy6) and AJ...a cast united by diversity and out to voice the opinion of the regular joe gamer.
Episode #10: It's finals week! Well at least it is for some. Some of the crew are done, some are just getting started, and others have all that agonizing pain still to go. The crew rolls back to an agenda-based show, hitting the highlights of their gaming interests from the month since Episode #9. We chat about the Crysis 3 Preview, with commentary on some of the cast who are doing a playthrough of Crysis 2 now, and how that skews their perspectives and desires for 3. Max Payne 3 is prepping for launch...but is Max really a tortured soul or has he brought a lot of this on himself? The Elder Scrolls MMO, PSN downloadables, Diablo III, the state of the FPS genre, and some World War II nostalgia...it's all in there. Enjoy.

Episode #9: Zeux is downsizing, and it causes the crew to get into some chatter about a gamers' chosen weapons of amusement. Laptops, controllers...the crew covers different perspectives on it all in a fireside-chat format this week, with everything off the cuff and no agenda. We also voice some of our opinions on portable gaming...is the crew still feeling the same about the Playstation Vita or have the first few weeks on the market changed some of their views? Finally, the crew takes an off-ramp as they are going through their playlists to discuss the differing cultures surrounding different game titles. Why are TF2 players and Call of Duty players so different, anyway? Join us for some interesting topics in Gaming Philosophy 101, won't you?

Episode #8: We're back!!! Join us for the reunion episode, where we only spend, like, 2 minutes, catching up on everything that has gone on since we recorded episode #7. The rest of the time is spent talking about the Playstation Vita and how the crew is not having it. Well, at least not right now. Then the crew figures out just how much they disagree on opinions over the Mass Effect 3 day-one DLC controversy. Or do they disagree? We round out the episode with discussion arcs on story versus gameplay, digital downloads versus tangible media, playing legacy games in Windows 7, and everyone's playlists. Join the crew as we get our crap back together and get the new year started right, won't you?

Sneaker or blaster? Each of the cast approaches the genre a slightly different way. Plus we have all of our normal industry discussion on current topics and trends in the business and in the gaming community at large.
