Bundle BuddiesEpisode #75 - WATER’S FINE, Quest Of Graal DX, and Infini with Armand from Just a Hobby GamesArmand from Just a Hobby Games reached out to us with a purpose: to educate our dumb asses about the wonderful world of indie RPGs. Okay, he was much more polite about it, but we know our place. A creator and aficionado, he gives us a crash course and all of the amazing things going on outside of the D&D Megaplex, notably the incredible Powered by the Apocalypse system. Eric is hungover and full of Tommy's chili. Alex has no excuse whatsoever. It's a fun episode! This week's lineup: WATER'S FINE by owch Quest of...2022-06-071h 24

They also write for a little website called PC Gamer and have a lot of interesting things to say about the craft of video game making. We talk mechs, white-whale peripherals, and how joining a cult seems like a bad idea. But mostly, we talk about mechs, because mechs are extremely cool and we all want one. Can anyone help us get a Bundle Buddies mech? Here's what we played this w...2022-05-241h 24

Also: is Cuphead an effective way to teach your child about persistence? Do we still love talking about Inscryption? Is there a "there, there" to There is No Game? ANSWERS IN...2022-05-171h 12

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #71 - They Bleed Pixels, Backbone, and Baba is YouLadies and gentlemen, put your hands together for a Bundle Buddies black-tie, gala event: the 200th game episode! That's right -- we've played through a whopping 200 games from the bundles, and we are celebrating in style. We're joined on the red carpet by producer Matt, who for some reason decided to record this episode in VR. Remember: we will be your dancin' hall, baby.

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #70 - 1,000 Heads Among the Trees, Augma II Arc I, and GourMelee with Katy Conroy and Camille CampbellWe have an awesome pair of guests on the show this week. Katy Conroy is a Los Angeles-based comedian, writer, and stylist, and Camille Campbell is a screenwriter, also based in LA. If their names seem somehow *familiar* it's because they also happen to be Alex and Eric's better-halves. That's right folks -- we are talking that Camille and that Katy! We are entering the sacred realm of vow-taking and sacrament-making and really testing the meddle of these relationships this week on Bundle Buddies. We manage to keep things more chatty than spatty on an episode that truly takes a w...2022-05-031h 05

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #69 - Inverness Nights, Future Unfolding, and NOISE1 with Kate O’ConnerWe have established Bundleieber Kate O'Conner on the podcast this week, and it's like an absolute delight. Or it is an absolute delight. We talk about the difference between similes and metaphors, baby games like Dragon Quest XI, and Eric finally learns what a companion is. The gang gets deep into Elden Ring, too -- bimbo builds, the game's cryptic lore, and what its ascension as a cultural oddity has in common with Final Fantasy VII's. Here's this week's completely randomized lineup of bundle games: Inverness Nights, by kitsubasa Future Unfolding, by Spaces of Play NOISE1, by...2022-04-261h 14

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #68 - Destruction Rocks, Crescent Loom, and An American Werewolf in LA with Brian Rodriguez-McGovernBrian Rodriguez-McGovern, or the notorious BRM, is on for a RECORD-BREAKING fourth time. He's the "winningest BB in Bundle Buddies history," but "a hard guest to please," so we ask any game developers out there to take his vitriol with a boulder of salt. Eric gets to the bottom of whether or not anyone is a true gamer with a mind-melting Buzzfeed-style quiz, we get into the weeds on Earthworm Jim, and Matt struggles to remember the name of a certain Jazz Jackrabbit. Terrible gamer-themed parodies of Killers chart-toppers abound, but all in good fun, we promise! ...2022-04-191h 09

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #67 - Ukranian Bundle Episode: Hypnagogia 無限の夢 Boundless Dreams, Wandersong, ZeroRanger with Donovan LampaWe dip our little piggies (toes) deeper into the Bundle for Ukraine with Matt & Alex's old chum Donovan Lampa.

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #66 - SkateBIRD, Gunhouse, and Promesa with Producer MattHere's the thing: this episode is, like, very interesting. We have been working on the way we express ourselves, and, the way I see it, we're doing, um, a very good job. It is as though we are getting very good at this, indeed. We play through some games from The Bundle for Ukraine with producer Matt. We focus a little bit too much on our language. Eric asks some Q's. Everyone provides some A's. Alex tallies up every time someone says like and, in the edit, Matt tries to hold him accountable but finds the enterprise...2022-04-051h 22

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #65 - Orison of Mercury, Jabberwocky, and Four Sided Fantasy w/ Jess Marchbank of All-Options Pregnancy Resource CenterWe have a very special one coming at you today, folks. The truly delightful Jess Marchbank joins us from the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center to tackle a set of bundle games. You might recognize this important foundation as a cause from a previous episode: we donated to them way back on Episode #11. We thought it would be lovely to have someone from All-Options on the podcast, and lo and behold, some 54 episodes later, Jess met us at the Bundle Buddies HQ. And how lucky were we! We discuss classic games of old like The Hunt for the Wumpus, the "...2022-03-291h 22

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #63 - Book Club #2: HookEric invites the boys over for our first official book club. We're drinking wine, eating gluten free cookies, and playing his first book club selection: Ocean Software's 1991 "classic" (?) Hook. The sleepover antics don't stop there: Eric asks Alex and Matt questions, promptly yells at them, makes everything wonder why we're playing this god-forsaken game based on a Robin Williams movie from 1991, and in the end nearly (almost. not really.) has a cathartic moment. Also: Elden Ring! The Peterpaniverse! Buying games as children! And some real honest-to-goodness conversation about game design. Wouldn't you know it, we walk away a...2022-03-151h 01

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #62 - Serre, A Normal Lost Phone, and Penguins Arena with Jonah CooperWhat if you could mod a book? How will penguins claim real estate in the aftermath of the impending climate apocalypse? Can you adopt a pet drone in Cyberpunk? And so what if you can't?! Isn't it the imagination of the player, the deliberate suspension of disbelief, that matters more than anything in roleplaying games?! We are tackling the big questions this week with the one and only Jonah Cooper. You might remember her first appearance, where she helped the buddies achieve their first triple-triple play. This time, she joins the two-timers club (that's what we're calling it, right...2022-03-081h 16

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #61 - Demon Truck, Marchland, and FutureGrind with Dyala and Holly of Echodog GamesA very special and exciting episode with Dyala and Holly, designer and "fart director" (respectfully), from Echodog games, the studio behind Signs of the Sojourner, a game we covered way back on Episode One! Sixty episodes later, Eric admits he may have been a bit brash in his early-days-of-the-podcast opinion making, the crew gets deep about the creative process, and a new distinction -- the "pizza game" -- is coined. Here are the games we played this week: Demon Truck, by Triger Mountain Marchland, by glitchirs FutureGrind, by Milkbag Games Our cause this wee...2022-03-011h 33

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #58 - OneShot, Dr. Langeskov, and The Night Journey with Daniel MullinsWe are joined by none other than Daniel Mullins, the mastermind behind last year's mind-bending Inscryption, a game that wormed its way into our collective subconscious by subverting the medium and freaking us out (in a good way.) Clearly, we can't stop talking about this game, so we take full advantage of our time with Daniel, picking his brain about his iterative game design process, the importance of playtesting, and whether or not he actually murdered someone and buried the body in a forest for the Inscryption ARG. Also: Keanu's empty chair at the Game Awards, the possibility of...2022-02-081h 20

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #57 - Slovak Games from the Late 80s w/ Producer MattIn a bit of a departure, the buddies dive into the strange and fascinating world of Slovak games from the late 80s, plumbing the strange depths of behind-the-Iron-Curtain digital experimentation.

Bundle BuddiesEpisode #56 - Kids, Knights of the Card Table, and Hero Hours Contract with JPCThis episode of Bundle Buddies has the fellas talking to comedian, streamer, and podcaster JPC, a gamer whose hobby once made him miss church because it made him physically ill. He's played 70 games over the course of the last year (or so), and shares a few of the gems he's unearthed along his journey. Goldeneye control schemes, not caring about being yelled at in Overwatch, and the similarities between hosting a Twitch stream and running a coffee shop in a college town -- this episode is full of goofs, opinions, and honest-to-goodness practical advice.
