Ep. 150: Our History With Fighting Games!

GlitchCube ·

2023/08/14

Hello Cubies! Evo has recently wrapped up another exciting event and we wanted to celebrate by looking back at the fighting games we grew up playing. There are so many different types of fighters out there. From your classic karate style games, to your tag team style fighters, and to ones out there where you can fly around Dragon Ball Z style. They are easy to jump into but hard to master and just about everyone has played at least one fighting game in their life. So let's jump right into this

2023/08/07

Hey there Cubies! This week we are looking into the mind's of the villains, the bad guys, the antagonists and the evil warlords! But not to just swoon over how cool their designs are, or what they added to their franchise but how some villains out there actually have a good point. In media some of the most memorable bad guys out there are so iconic because they are grounded in real world choices. To the point that we can actually see ourselves reacting in a similar fashion if we were in their

Ep. 148: Fighting For The Planet! Eco-Terrorism In...

2023/07/31

Hey there Cubies! While eco-terrorism is rather common place in other sources in media, it is not a typical plot point in games. Or if they are, they are almost. an after thought in the story. But there are a couple games out there that actually have in the forefront and make it an essential driving force for the characters, motivating their decisions as they move through the story. One that has done so in a way that is approachable and makes you think on a deeper level is Final Fantasy 7. Growing

Ep. 146: Gritty, Dark, Edgy Reboots And Remakes!

GlitchCube ·

2023/07/17

Hey there Cubies! As gamers get older the games they love need to age with them. Franchises have done this for years across multiple sources of media. And there is a common way. in which. games have tried to keep up with the times. That is by making a gritty. reboot of their franchise. Sometimes this goes great, and other times it tends to be too much of a departure from the original message of the game. And with the release of Final Fantasy 16 and the fact that it is actually. rated M for mature

Ep. 145: Anarchy In The Mushroom Kingdom!

2023/07/10

Hey Cubies! We are back another week discussing a hot topic when it comes to games and media. There is a common thought that media can incite violence in an individual . That is can drive someone to do something they normally would not do. But what about something a little more specific. Can games make you more rebellious to authority? Can they make you question the government, or are they able to make you complacent with the world around you? Let's talk about it! -------- Follow the link bellow

Ep. 144: Are Video Games Isolating?

GlitchCube ·

2023/07/03

Hey there Cubies! Recently the question of "can game be isolating?" has been brought up to us. To many people video games can appear to be a way to keep someone from being social in any. way shape or form. We still have that stereotypical image in our mind of someone playing games in a dark basement all by themselves. But games have evolved to be a way for people from different walks of life to come together. They give us an instant connection with another person, something to talk about and build

Hey there Cubies! It's that time once again! Steam has opened its doors and has given us a large amount of demos to check out. This time around there was some big hitters and a lot of smaller indie games to pick from. We tried to play as many as possible, and I have to say we have a rather long list of games we have played through. Its actually pretty funny that we didn't play any of the same ones either. So lets go through all this amazing content together and maybe you will find something you've

Hey there Cubies! Final Fantasy 16 is right around the corner and we are so excited for this new installment into the franchise! We wanted to go through our wonderful memories of all the Final Fantasy games we have played through. They have been apart our childhoods and now they continue to be apart of our lives. While the stories have changed each time and the gameplay has evolved they still hold a special place in our hearts and feel as though they have grown and changed with us as we grow

Hey There Cubies! Nostalgia plays a huge role in our show. Last week wee chatted about Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom and used that as an opportunity to relive our experience with the franchise as a whole. So this week we wanted to talk about a console that has some strong memories for us, and that is of course the N64! The N64 brought families together and showed us the glory of 3D worlds in some of our favorite franchises. Plus any game with the "64" added to the title was bound to be amazing. So

Hey there Cubies! We know that this week is the week for Zelda. But before we get some time with it and it absorbs all of our time we wanted to tackle some other titles on our list.

Ep. 136: Games Are Alive! Immersive Ecosystems!

GlitchCube ·

2023/05/08

Hey there Cubies! Immersion is something that all designers try to create in their games. It gives the player the illusion the game is alive and that all choices made by the player matter. While a lot of this is just an illusion created by the designers there are some games out there that push this to new heights. Games like Rain World use AI to generate everything from the animations to the behaviors that the animals follow. We are starting to see more games using AI in the creation process, but

Ep. 135: Have Games Lost Their Edge?

GlitchCube ·

2023/05/01

Hey there Cubies! Games have gone through many different phases. From the underground phase of being made and played using college and company computers in people's downtime, to an angry teenager scene to now a very professional product. The growth is amazing to witness but it has left us with a question. And that is have games lost their edge? Are they just rinse and repeat and do not push the envelope any longer. In the past games like DOOM and GTA would push the boundaries of content and

Hey there Cubies! This week is all about metrovanias! It is a genre that is beloved by many and replicated countless times, especially in the indie community. What is it about this genre that catches peoples attention after all these years? And with not much changing in regards to the core mechanics. And these titles are notorious for being difficult, but once you accomplish that jump, or beat that boss it is a different kind of rewarding experience. So lets chat about some of our favorites out

Ep. 132: Are Shorter Games Better?

GlitchCube ·

2023/04/10

Hey there Cubies! The amount of games out there is pretty astronomical. But what should you play? What should you spend your money and more importantly your time on? And to make things worse it is not just what game to play but which ones have the length that you want. Does a 10 hour game warrant $60? Or should length dictate the price of a game. We have all been burned at some point with a game that not only you finished too quick but it just wasn't that great of an experience. So, the real
