Gamer’s Word: Episode 9


In this episode of the Gamer’s Word, Sean and Rebecca are joined by their foreign correspondent Jack for their usual discussion on gaming and the news of the week. Rebecca goes over the new Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC and lists her pro’s and con’s. They then go on to discuss the Museum of Modern Art’s new Game exhibit which displays a wide variety of classic games and modern games. Will this new exhibit work for the gaming industry and lead to more people excepting it as an art form rather than just a hobby or past time? The gang seems to think so. Before the show wraps with the Holiday gift guide from each member (they tell you whats on their own lists for this holiday season, but also shed light on some things that should be on yours as well), they get into a small argument over the term “gamer” and where it applies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gamer’s Word: The Walking Dead Spoilercast

Today we have a special episode of Gamer’s Word, where we discuss one video game in particular, The Walking Dead: The Game. Sean is joined by his friend Dave, and Word of the Nerd writer and Gamer’s Word regular Jack, and they get down to discussing, not just the epic finale that was available for download last week, but to discuss each episode individually and how, if at all, their decisions differed from the next guy. Turns out that Dave was the honest hero type, while Jack was the the heartless bastard. Sean, well he was the balance between both of them, though his decisions were oddly based on random thought processes (ie. love and re-populating the world, and trying to be a good “parent” for Clementine). In the end it was a unanimous decision that his game pulled on some heart strings and made us question who we would be in a similar situation. Verdict: Sean would die, Jack would probably kill him, and Dave would be the leader of the group far away from the other two…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gamer’s Word – Episode 8

Its the Sean and Jack show on this episode of Gamer’s Word! Since both of them are keeping busy with Assassins Creed 3, they have yet to ply any of the newer releases, but that doesn’t stop them from discussing the hottest items on the market. They first discuss the incredible line-ups that were seen at the midnight launches for both Halo 4 and Black Ops 2, and weigh in on the midnight madness events that are held for these big budget game releases. They also discuss video game movies and where Hollywood has gone wrong in their recent adaptations. But with Tom Hardy signed on to play Sam Fischer in the Splinter Cell movie, and Michael Fassbender in talks for the other Ubisoft movie, Assassins Creed, is there a chance that a good video game movie is in the works. They also briefly discuss downloadable games (such as the Walking Dead and Journey)and how some of these games are even in line for many awards at this years VGA’s. Speaking of which, the last portion of the show covers Spikes VGA’s, which are coming up shortly, and both Jack and Sean  discuss the nominees and categories and make a few selections themselves.

 

Gamers Word – Episode 7

In this episode of Gamers Word, Sean is joined by Rebecca and one of Word of the Nerds British Correspondents, Jack. This week the gang discusses all of the great content that has come out over the past few weeks, including: Dishonored, Resident Evil, and Assassins Creed 3. After going through a very detailed discussion of the light and dark path in Dishonored, the team discusses the historical aspect of Assassins Creed 3 and how Ubisoft has tweaked certain events in history to flush out an otherwise rich story. The trio then goes on to discuss Halo 4 and the news that Halo servers will be watching for sexist talk and trolls in the game which will result in a possible “lifetime” ban. Finally, Jack and Rebecca try to convince Sean to play Minecraft, although he doesn’t seem as enthused as they were hoping.
