The Gamer Agenda PodcastThe Secret to Success for Pokémon GO’s Communtiy Days (Episode 15)Today’s agenda: The Secret to Success for Pokémon GO’s Communtiy Days
In the cusp of an ever-changing environment, Community Day is a stable pillar of hope for the Pokémon GO player base, offering veteran and newbie players alike a chance at easy shinies, extra candy, and exclusive moves.
But it’s not just about shinies— It’s also a great way to get moving and spend time outside with your community! So how has Community Day managed to remain such an eagerly anticipated part of the game, wh...2023-05-311h 28The Gamer Agenda PodcastIs DLC Ruining Mario Sports Games? (Episode 14)Today’s agenda: Is DLC Ruining Mario Sports?
It’s not news to anyone that Mario boasts an impressive resume: plumbing, princess-rescuing, a doctorate, go-kart racing, the mustachioed marvel has even had his hand in a number of professional sports.
Mario sports games (tennis, golf, etc.) have become an expected staple of nearly every new Nintendo console, just like with Mario Kart and Mario Party. However, the Mario sports titles have become subject to scrutiny in recent years, with common complaints including being “too repetitive” or not having a substant...2023-05-241h 32The Gamer Agenda PodcastQueerness in Kids Media: Gonzo-Rella (Episode 13)Welcome to the first episode of a new TGAP mini-series called Queerness in Kids’ Media, where we discuss positive representations of queerness and LGBTQ themes in children’s TV and movies!
Today, we talk about ‘Gonzo-Rella’ from ‘Muppet Babies’ (2018). The episode centers around Gonzo (a male character) wanting to wear a dress while attending the babies’ make-believe royal ball, and after being told that boys can only dress as knights, assumes the guise of “Gonzo-rella” and teaches his friends that it’s okay to go against the norm.
While the episode’s messag...2023-05-171h 17The Gamer Agenda PodcastSpongeBob QUEERPants? Silly Sea Sponge or LGBTQ Icon? (Ft. GodUsoppSHC) (Episode 12)Today’s agenda: SpongeBob QUEERPants? Silly Sea Sponge or LGBT Icon?
Whether or not you’ve seen the show, everyone knows SpongeBob SquarePants— most 90s & 2000s kids can’t go a week without quoting a SpongeBob episode or a SpongeBob meme. But beyond being a pop culture icon, SpongeBob has made a name for himself in more ways than one.
While a lot of late 90s/early 2000s male cartoon protagonists were often crude, loud, mean, or struggled with typical “boy” problems like crushes or bullies, SpongeBob stood out from the cro...2023-05-101h 29The Gamer Agenda PodcastPokemon GO Hoenn Tour: The Good, The Bad, and the FUTURE! (Episode 11)Today’s agenda: Hoenn Tour - The Good, the Bad, and the FUTURE!
The Hoenn Tour is the third iteration of an event that Pokémon GO has done since 2021, celebrating each of the generations of Pokémon and giving players a chance to ‘catch ‘em all’, including rare and exclusive Pokémon they may not normally have access to, such as Mythical Legendaries and Regional Pokémon. 2021 celebrated the Kanto region, 2022 celebrated Johto, and this year celebrated the Hoenn region— introducing new additions such as Primal Kyogre and Groudon, and the long-awaited Kecleon.

After nearly 30 years, Super Mario is back on the big screen, and it’s a smash hit!
The massive collaborative effort between Nintendo and Illumination Studios (the very same behind the little jumpsuit-wearing yellow Minions you see all over your mom’s Facebook page) was met with mixed reception upon its initial announcement, but ended up breaking box office records and making history for animated movies as a whole. Critics seemed to dislike it, but audiences worldwide have shared their praises over t...2023-04-201h 20The Gamer Agenda PodcastWhy Mario Party Superstars is Still SUPER! (Ft. DirtyDan_DG) (Episode 9)Today’s agenda: Why Mario Party Superstars Is Still SUPER
Mario Party Superstars is quite the enigmatic entry to the Mario Party franchise— nobody expected its announcement, and yet, as soon as it came out, Nintendo’s interest in it faded away faster than your stars during Chance Time.
Advertised as a celebration of all the mainline Mario Parties, Superstars has a collection of minigames and boards from past titles (which is quite the step up from the previous “collection” installment, Mario Party: The Top 100). As such, it’s a great way...2023-04-122h 27The Gamer Agenda PodcastNiantic Says: "Pokemon GO to Hell!" [#HearUsNiantic] (Episode 8)Today’s agenda: Niantic says: “Pokémon GO to Hell”
In Episode 3, we talked about the escalating trend of FOMO (fear of missing out) tactics being used against Pokémon GO players in attempt to get them to spend more on microtransactions.
Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, Niantic announced what could possibly be their most controversial update yet— An increase in the price of remote raid passes, and a daily limit on the number of remote raids players can do each day.
People are pissed, but why exactly? Join us as w...2023-04-052h 00The Gamer Agenda PodcastThe Purple Pamphlet [Part 4] - A Look Into the Past, a Reflection of the Present (Episode 7)Today’s agenda: The Purple Pamphlet— A Look Into the Past, a Reflection of the Present
In 1964, one of the most influential yet overlooked pieces of anti-homosexual propaganda was published: Homosexuality and Citizenship in Florida, also known as the “Purple Pamphlet”.
Produced during the heyday of the Lavender Scare, when thousands of gay men and women lost their jobs, and were considered public threats due to looming fears of communism and the destruction of “the American way of life”, the Purple Pamphlet was made as a window for straights to look into the gay lifestyle, learn their...2023-03-221h 10The Gamer Agenda PodcastThe Purple Pamphlet [Part 3] - “Degenerate Acts” and Criminalizing Homosexuality (Episode 6)Today’s agenda: The Purple Pamphlet— “Degenerate Acts” and Criminalizing Homosexuality (Part 3)

Today’s agenda is a topic that’s been eating at the patience (and wallets) of many Pokemon GO players; it’s a little something that even non-Pokemon players who play other mobile games might be familiar with: PAID CONTENT.
Whether it’s buying the newest character, a cool skin, access to a limited-time event or even just purchasing in-game currency, pay-to-win games have become an indomitable force in the gaming market, a trend that’s sp...2023-02-151h 21The Gamer Agenda PodcastThe Bi Experience; As Told by Bisexuals!

Bisexual erasure is a real and prevalent issue plaguing LGBTQ+ communities. With harassment and misconceptions coming from all facets of life (and even from other queers!), what are some assumptions we can avoid, and what are some ways we can understand and be better allies to our bi and pansexual brethren?

Today’s agenda: What’s the Tea on Mario Kart DLC!?
Last year, Nintendo shocked the world by announcing DLC for a game nobody would have expected— Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! The DLC, now 3 waves strong and with 3 waves yet to come, incorporates retro courses from older Mario Kart titles as well as imported courses from the mobile game, Mario Kart Tour.
With enough DLC tracks to practically be considered a new game itself...2023-02-011h 14
