2022/10/17

Hello Cubies! It is spooky month and we are kicking it off with a genre that is really starting to pick up steam. That is the found footage horror games. We have seen this idea played out in films countless times ever since Blair Witch showed us just. how terrifying it really can be. But something interesting happens when its a video game rather than a movie. It becomes so much more intense. As a player you are now forced to walk that path instead of being carried along. And some designers are

2022/10/10

Hello Cubies! We recently did an episode where we dove into some fantastic GameBoy games. But there was one game on our list that we did not get a chance to really play. So we decided to play some more and talk about it now. That game is Mother 3, it is the final installment in the Earthbound series and what an amazing game it is. The story is fantastic and really tugs at your heart strings in some very memorable ways. We also discuss some other games that have caught/re-caught our eyes from the

Ep. 105: For The Beauty Of Randomizers!

GlitchCube ·

2022/10/03

Hello Cubies! We have a bit of a bite sized episode for you today. We wanted to talk about the gaming phenomenon known as randomizers. A randomizer takes your favorite game and shuffles locations, items and enemies to give the player a unique new experience. This is an amazing tool for players that know these games like the back of their hands, it breaths new life into these games and creates situations that not even the original designers could have foreseen ! -------- Follow the link bellow to

Hello Cubies! Failure is something that we all fear. We think that if we fail then there is no progression forward. But is that really the case? ET is known as the worst game in history and is even blamed for the video game crash of 1983. How can one game bring down an entire industry? Or is it just a scapegoat for poor decisions made by Atari at the time.

Ep. 103: Gameboy ReHash! What Handheld Treasures Await!

2022/09/19

Hello Cubies! This week we wanted to take a look back at the Gameboy and all of it's glory. Looking back at the games made for these consoles, there are so many classics and just down right surprising games. So we decided to play two games, one was a game we played in the past to see if it still holds up and the other is one we always wanted to play but never got to. And we were both shocked by some of the graphics, music or even scope of the these handheld treasures! -------- Follow the link

Ep. 102: Drinking The Kool-Aid! Cult Gaming!

GlitchCube ·

2022/09/12

Hello Cubies! This week we dive into the world of cult games. And we are not talking about cult classics, we are discussing the games that have cults as their central theme. Each one of the games we discuss take this theme and present it in a very different way. From roguelikes like Cult Of The Lamb, to card games like Cultist Simulator themes can be presented in some amazing ways. So, sit back and listen to our sermon on cult games! -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials

2022/09/05

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun episode. This week we continue our discussion from two week ago. We began to talk about the philosophy that inspired the Bioshock series. We conclude that conversation here with Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite. It is clear that when 2 was created they wanted to have a perfect mirror to the original title. After the events of the first game we see what ideals have begun to flourish in Rapture, and the main one is collectivism. So, sit back and enjoy this

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun and exciting week. We are continuing our dive into philosophy with the Bioshock franchise. Not only are these games great, they actually teach us about objectivism and the creator of this branch of philosophy Ayn Rand. There is so much to discuss here that this will be split into multiple parts so be on the look out of part 2 of the philosophical dive. -------- Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun filled week! In celebration of the mini series we are doing on our other show The Murder Of Gray Podcast, we are diving into the world of philosophy. When looking at themes in games we can see different philosophical lessons being fed to us in ways that we can easily digest. Not only are games entertaining to play but they allow us to be fully immersed in a world that we may not experience in our day to day lives. Through these games we learn about

Ep. 97: Themes/Tropes That Just Wont Die!

GlitchCube ·

2022/08/08

Hello Cubies! We are back another week with an interesting episode for you. Through out games there are many titles that have the same theme or driving force behind them. It has gotten to the point for some titles that the main reason for the quest is not interesting or is almost an after thought for most players. The question here is, is this a bad thing? Or is it important to have a simple story/theme to bring people in and capture a wider audience? Are these ideas "played out" because we have

Hello Cubies! We have discussed some interesting ideas over the past couple years but there are a couple that have really stuck out to us. Those being the ones that we talk about social situations in gaming. It. is always interesting to dive into these topics because they are so misunderstood, or mis-represented. VR meet ups are becoming more and more popular and are falling to the scrutiny that chat rooms have encountered for years. Am I really talking to who they say they are? But is that really

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another fun and exciting week of games! This time we hop into our time machine to revisit some forgotten gems from the original Xbox. From the massive Duke controller to all the shooters on the platform this was not a system that we really dove into in our youth. But there are some amazing titles that were looked over and deserve their recognition. Games like Otogi, American McGee's Scrapland and Phantom Dust! There are other obscure titles that really pushed the

Ep. 92: Can Games Actually Be Art?

GlitchCube ·

2022/07/04

Hello Cubies! This week we tackle a statement that we say at the start of every episode. In our intro we discuss "the art of games" but there are those that would disagree with that statement. One of those individuals is Roger Ebert, a critically acclaimed critic. Many will know his name, but some may not know that he had a very strong view point when it came to video games. His claim is that games can never be art and we not see anything that will change his mind on that. We obviously disagree

2022/06/27

Hello Cubies! In the past we have dissected many mechanics and showcased how they can be used differently in many games. This week we discuss some mechanics that may be easily overlooked, but make games so memorable when used properly. Some of these mechanics may be easily forgotten and just fade into the background. But does that mean that they are actually bad? Or does that mean that they are actually genius? Does good design fade, or does it stick out at the player? Let's find out in this weeks
