Molehill Mountain Episode 2 – What Is a Video Game?

On this week’s show, EZK and Andrew continue to Kick the Bucket List (12:38), discuss the ESA’s public E3 event being held down the street from the main show (31:46), try to figure out the chronology of events surrounding a Cleveland police officer donating his Pokemon collection to a boy whose own was stolen collection was recovered (40:19), and spend a ton of time debating super-important questions like: “Should ‘fun’ be the baseline descriptor for games?” “Should games be called ‘games’ or something else?” “How do you define ‘video game’?” (46:06).

Molehill Mountain Episode 1 – Every Topic Is SUPER Important!

 

Molehill Mountain is our new name, we just need a logo.  If you want to help us out with that, please feel free to contact us! In the meantime, we’ll continue posting the show as epilogues to Super Podcast Action Committee.

On this week’s show, EZK and Andrew debut a new show segment where they compare bucket lists (14:37), discuss why Apple is wrong for rejecting a Gaza war game for not being a game (35:43), facepalm at Metacritic using the wrong review AND review score from the Washington Post’s Uncharted 4 review (55:23), and debate how skillful a game reviewer should be and how important is it that they play all the way through the games they review (1:04:54).

Presenting the Molehill Mountain podcast! Where every topic is of the utmost importance!

Molehill Mountain.

That’s the name we’re trying out for the podcast.  So far the reaction has been positive but please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

On this week’s show, EZK and Andrew discuss Nintendo’s continued nonsensical localization changes to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (14:11), the Pokemon business model and which Sun and Moon starter is best Pony (31:38), Microsoft back peddling its Universal Windows Platform announcement (47:52), the #BlackPantherSoLIT hashtag and what the heck “LIT” means, and properties like Monster Musume and The Purge that don’t live up to the full potential of their premise (1:15:55).

This Podcast Has No Name

Kind of an odd show this week with EZK and Andrew foregoing their list of topics and just discussing whatever came to mind.  While the first half hour is pretty scattershot, two major topics do emerge: Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop dice games (28:26) and a hefty political discussion with a focus on Libertarians and other political parties that are not Republicans or Democrats (46:07).  This episode may be more political than any of the shows we did under the GamePolitics banner!

The Podcast With No Name

We’re still working on a name but the first post-Super Podcast Action Committee podcast is in the bag and you can watch it over to the left.  This week, EZK and I discussed the sad truth behind my love for LEGO games (7:42), the possibility of Nintendo NX news hitting early this week (30:04), whether GameStop’s publishing plans could hurt its gaming magazine’s credibility (34:45), the proposed “No Sale Promise” for digital games (50:24), and whether movie theater audiences improve the theater-going experience (1:06:01).
