Video Game Podcast
Inspired by their recent attempts at Mario Maker 2 world records, the Synics take an in depth look into the world of gaming mods, level editors, and dev kits. What genre will the gaming community come up with next? What is the future of mods on PC and console? Is Tim a hipster? All that plus all the Nintendo hardware in the news, and games being censored in China in our 30th episode!
The Synics Get all Synical on E3 2019. Berto is unusually synical, and Tim is unsarcastically excited for a game, what world is this? Hear our grades for the Presentations given at E3 2019 and what games we are the most and least excited for!
That’s right, the Synics are branching out and headed to the big screen to discuss all about video game movies. Strangely enough the synicism begins to melt away as Berto, Tim and Garrett try to figure out why video game movies just aren’t that good. We also talk E3 leaks and rumors, Google Stadia price points, Pokemon Sword and Shield release date, and of course all the games we are currently playin’.
Didja miss us? We took a little break but we’re back with Ori and the Blind Forest for our next Game Club! We talk lootbox legislation, Mortal Kombat PTSD, Twitter ranting, the Sonic redesign, and the new Final Fantasy 7 trailer (this game will never release) in this week’s synical spin. Then we take a haunting journey straight through Ori and the Blind Forest so join our Game Club and talk with us on our virtual couch!
The Synics suit up in their javelins and go all out on their experience with Anthem. Come join the Game Club and chat with us about Bioware’s controversial looter shooter. We also have a deep and divisive discussion on difficulty, accessibility, and game design in hard games like Sekiro with a nice relaxing cool off as Tim goes through his bug list accompanied by Cello music.
Split Screen Synics and Hold Up a Sec Podcast merge together as we head to Boston for Pax East 2019. The Synics are joined by Hold Up a Sec co-host Andrew and Berto’s wife/co-op gaming champion Allison as we talk all about what makes PAX special and which games we played on the show floor. Recorded over 4 days in several locations with differing levels of sobriety, this episode is NUTS. Filled with crazy tangents, whiskey based marketing, Bud Light Lime creativity, and lots of musical interludes we go all out. Also in the news: Google Stadia announced, new Switch models rumored, and Anthem development woes.
As all three Synics have recently become part of the PC Gaming Elite, we do our best to convince you listeners (or maybe scare you off) on the greatness that is building a desktop and playing games with so many wonderful frames. Join us on our trip down memory lane with old school PC games, Garrett’s blood sacrifice for Tim’s desktop, Berto’s heinous use of a controller in shooters, Streaming services for games in the news, and much more!
The Synics dust the cobwebs off their old pokedexes and talk all about the new Pokemon Sword and Shield games coming out for the Nintendo Switch, as well as all other things Pokemon. We also say goodbye to the inspiration for most of our narcotics based humor as Reggie Fils-Aime announces his retirement from Nintendo. All of this and more news awaits in our 21st episode.
The Synics grab their combat knives and flashlights and take a deep dive into the Resident Evil 2 Remake. Come join the Game club and listen in to what we think about this exciting new version of the survival horror classic. Featuring questions and comments from game club members like you, as well as our takes on recent developments in Gaming news!
