Hmm?

Sure, we can talk about Ico. Just email me and set it up!

I could talk about MGS4 or Deus Ex all day long with you!

Funny, I've had the same thought but as a twitch stream. One person plays and there are commentators that talk about the game, trying to go deep into the mechanics, critical receptions, lore, design, how the series evolved, other games it influenced, etc.

This series from The Ringer is the kind of material that I like, weaving in personal reflection with game design and history: https://www.theringer.com/2018/8/29/17795406/1998-the-best-year-ever-for-video-games

I'm not sure how you'd tackle massive games like Baldur's Gate (maybe bounce around between saves on stream), but that was a defining game for me.

Other games that would be worth exploring: Dead Space, The Uncharted series, Metal Gear Solid 4, ODST and Reach compared to the Halo 1-3, Deus Ex, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect.

Halo Reach :) (reply)

I was going to volunteer for any legacy Bungie game, but I could definitely talk about Reach all day (and defend it as canon).

Anything you want.

I think it would be more interesting to have a non Bungie game, or a Bungie game not many people here have played. This should be a learning opportunity!

The Last of Us! But I guess a fair number have played that as well. My catalog of games I have much to say about might be rather small.

That would work.

CARTER MUST BE DELETED

I was already thinking I'd compliment your rewrite, and I'm willing to admit the story is flawed, just not fatally.

Yeah, I can't wait to dive into ODST either! (reply)

The best Halo game? Sure, I’ll talk about that any day :) (reply)

cheapLEY, Malagate and I have had a number of these talks, but I guess we're just not quite pretentious enough to think about making a podcast. ;)

I like those conversations, even though they always keep me up hours too late.

Just pick one. Any of those would be pretty rad actually, particularly Nier. HZD might be interesting because I don’t actually like the game. Be pretentious and email me if you wanna.

I really need to finish Nier.

You need to finish it a few times fyi :-p

I wanted to start a podcast where posters here talk with me about a game for an hour. A deep dive. A good way to get to know people here, and to find out about a new game or think about an old one in a different way.

If you'd like, drop me a line with what game you want to talk about. If I haven't played it I will if possible.

NieR: Automata
God of War
Horizon Zero Dawn
Hellblade
Bloodborne

No Warframe though Korny.

That is not a conversation that can be had in a single hour, even strictly from a lore perspective.

Also feel free to pick weird, old, or indie games everyone. As long as the conversation is valuable.
