The Gamers' Inn

This week on The Gamers' Inn, Jocelyn and Ryan are snowed in! Jocelyn has still been playing a lot of Blizzard titles, very appropriate. Ryan has been branching out much more than Jocelyn, trying out Ni No Kuni for the PS3, as well as the TVii features on the WiiU. For the topic of the week this week, we talk about what everyone has been talking about, JJ and Gabe are working together on All The Things! Except Half Life 3. No JJ in your Half Life 3. Enjoy! Also don't forget to use the code Kerrigan in conjunction with thegamersinn at checkout when you buy your Doghouse System to get double the RAM and an entry into the draw for the super awesome Ghost Rifle, built by Bill Doran of Punished Props! It's one of only 3 that will ever exist, and is an officially licensed Blizzard replica! Go to www.doghousesystems.com to order your system by March 12th, 2013 to be considered a valid entry.

This week on The Gamers' Inn Ryan updates us on Republique and fills us in on Don't Starve. Jocelyn has been playing more Starcraft II and WoW. Also she hates EA and EA hates her, still! Finally both the inn keepers drool over their new copies of Hyrule Hystoria. In our topic we've once again chosen the two biggest news stories this week and discuss. First, Ryan brings up the World of Warcraft movie getting a director and Jocelyn talks about Valve confirming Apple is their biggest enemy in the living room.

As January flies by The Gamers' Inn brings you yet another jam packed episode of gaming goodness. Jocelyn has been playing Magic the Gathering 2013, which Ryan believes to be in the style of the Yu-Gi-Oh TV show (which it isn't). Ryan talks about the Fire Emblem demo on 3DS as well as the return of Spartan Ops. This week was huge for news with Nintendo spilling the beans on a bunch of 2013 projects on Wii U and the split up and sale of THQ assets. All this and a new contest from Dog House Systems where you could win Kerrigan's rifle from Starcraft II, created by Punished Props Bill Doran.

Tech issues aside The Gamers' Inn is back, with a vengeance! This week Ryan looks back at a few glitches he encountered in the Assassin's Creed series as well as a look at Hotline Miami. Jocelyn is giving up on The Simpsons Tapped Out while still loving CoD BlOps 2 and World of Warcraft. In Topic of the Week the inn keepers discuss gaming gadgets. With Jocelyn's new Dog House System she's looking to upgrade her keyboard and mouse. Alongside that we discuss preferred PC controllers (THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE) and sound options. All this and more on the newest Gamers' Inn!

The Gamers' Inn returns with more talk of Blizzard titles and WiiU. Yes... The WiiU is still a thing, stop asking. What We're Playing sees Jocelyn FINALLY beating Joel in Starcraft 2 and she has the replay to prove it. Also Ryan shows off his inner pyromaniac with Little Inferno, a downloadable title available for WiiU and PC. Finally Ryan, the all around apologetic gamer, doesn't hate Assassin's Creed III... Yet! More on that in the coming weeks I'm sure. In Topic of the Week Jocelyn had a bit of a run in with EA customer service relating to an issue with Origin, they're Steam competitor. While the end result may have been not being able to play games, the actual issue proves to be even more of a security headache.

Welcome to 2013 and back to the Gamers' Inn podcast! Also this is our first episode on the wonderful Amove.TV network! In What We're Playing Ryan gives us more details on the awesome open world jungle game Far Cry 3 and his holiday filled Assassin's Creed. Jocelyn has been primarily focusing on Blizzard titles with more WoW and introducing herself to Starcraft 2. Our Topic of the Week is a look back at our holidays we had since our last recording. What did we get for Christmas that was gaming related, what kind of games did we play over the break, and what games did we not get around to playing. All that and much more! Enjoy!

The Gamers' Inn would like to wish all our listeners a Merry Christmas! In our last episode of the year we chat about gaming on the Christmas holidays and our favourite video game holiday memory. After Christmas talk we move into Game of the Year and unlike last year where we did a Top 10 this year we're doing categories and our top Game of the Year. With categories like Best Story, Most Addictive, and Biggest Disappointment you can bet there were some heated discussions! Enjoy and be safe this holiday season. And remember we return in the new year January 4th on the Amove.TV network!

Holy crap! We've been doing The Gamers' Inn for a whole year now! But before we get to that we wrap up our spoiler talk of TellTale's The Walking Dead. Jocelyn has finished the series and the inn keepers discuss the second half of the much loved game (but only liked by Jocelyn). Also take note Nintendo, Ryan has a few choice words for you when it comes to the MiiVerse. Gets pretty heated in the first half of this episode! To calm things down Jocelyn and Ryan discuss the last year at the inn including many listener submissions. Thanks to Val, Lou, Underscore Funk, Jim, and Greg for writing in! It's been a busy year at the Gamers' Inn and next year is looking to be just as awesome. Tune in on Christmas Eve for our Christmas/GOTY episode. Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Years Eve. You all rock!

Holy SPOILERS zombie lovers! The Gamers' Inn is back and Jocelyn has played half of The Walking Dead on PC, so be prepared if you haven't played the first 2 and a half episodes. You've been warned, as it pretty much dominates the What We're Playing segment. This weeks topic is the Video Game Awards presented by Spike. You know, the channel that has the UFC reality shows and CSI reruns? Yah that one! Anyways, we go over some of the big winners, the world premieres, how Spike sees gamers, and much more. This years show was much better than past, but there is still room for improvement! A reminder that next week is our One Year at the Inn special where we're reading listeners favourite moments. Be sure to write in via email, social media, or in our forums to win a Steam code for Saints Row the Third or Metro 2033!

December of 2012 is upon us, and just like clockwork the Gamers' Inn is back this week with a Bioware filled What We're Playing and multiplatform multiplayer in Topic of the Week. Jocelyn has had some time on her hands and has revisted Skyrim to play Dawngaurd and Hearthfire DLC in preparation for Dragonborn. Skyrim not being enough RPG she also started playing Dragon Age Origins, and she swears she likes it! Ryan wrapped up the Omega DLC for Mass Effect 3, which still hasn't solved the problem with DLC for that game. Also stories of Fable: The Journey, dieing in ZombiU, and XCOM DLC save bugs! :( In Topic of the Week the inn keepers discuss multiplatform multiplayer. Wouldn't it be great to pick up Black Ops on PS3 and still be able to play your friends who own it on Xbox? In a perfect world that's how it would work, but unfortunatly the big console makers don't like to play nice. How do we see this vision working? What examples are already out there in the wild? All that and more on this weeks Gamers' Inn! Enjoy!

Jocelyn has returned from vacation and is back on the Gamers' Inn to hear all about Ryan playing Halo 4, XCOM, and the Wii U. Also Ryan explains what Doritos and Halo 4 Multiplayer have to do with each other. It's a funny story that ultimately results in Ryan needing serious help... (Side note if anyone buys Doritos please send Ryan the code for double xp matches) Anyways, this weeks topic is Steam Sales! It seems we can't get close to the holiday season without having to stop ourselves from buying ALL THE THINGS that go on sale. After running down all the items each of us bought we discuss whether Steam Sales decrease the value of games. All this and MORE on this weeks Gamers' Inn! Enjoy!

This week on The Gamers' Inn Jocelyn is away, so Ryan is hosting with special guest Joel Duggan from Starcrossed Online! In What We're Playing we revisit some old favourites as Joel is catching up on the Mass Effect series and enjoying Transformers: War For Cybertron. Now, the elephant in the room, Wii U. Ryan picked it up on Sunday and he gives his first impression of the system and three launch titles: NintendoLand, New Super Mario Bros. U, and ZombiU. For Topic of the Week Ryan and Joel cover animation in video games. Joel is a cartoonist and worked for 6 years in TV animation, and has some things to say on the topic. While we do point out some bad eggs there are definitely some shining examples of how to do animation correctly in video games, so be sure to listen!

This week on The Gamers' Inn we're joined by Angus McQuarrie from 343 Industries to talk Halo 4! We start off the show by asking Angus a few questions about how he got started in the industry, why he loves Halo so much, and what it's like to work on and launch such a high profile game. Special Announcement: We're happy to have Doghouse Systems as a sponsor for The Gamers' Inn! Use the code thegamersinn at checkout to support the show. After some Quick Fire news we conclude our Road to Halo 4 segment by talking a whole lot about Halo 4! We cover everything from the campaign to the multiplayer, so SPOILER ALERT people! If you haven't finished Halo 4 you may want to save this segment for later!

Hey everyone! Halo 4 came out this week! And not much else... Before giving first impressions on the big release we wrap up Fable III talk and both inn keepers have started playing the Assassin's Creed series! For Halo 4 Jocelyn is six chapters in but not so sure about the games future in her collection where as Ryan raced through the campaign and is really enjoying it. After a short Quick Fire news (Halo 4 sort of dominated the video game industry this week), Jocelyn and Ryan take on Video Game Mashups for Topic of the Week. We cover mashups of Video Games and Movies like Angry Birds Star Wars, which inspired the topic, and mashups of Video Games Universes like the Super Smash Brothers series. This week won't be the last you hear of Halo 4 as next week we'll be joined by Angus McQuarrie from 343 Industries. We will be recording live on Thursday the 15th at 8:30 EST. See you then!

The inn keepers return this week with tales of HalCon, Fable 3 and BioShock Infinite, oh my! Joce hasn't played much but is very excited about some upcoming releases. The big news this week is the wrap up of The Gamers' Inn Road to Halo 4 segment, where the hosts finished off with Halo: Reach before the launch of Halo 4 on Tuesday. This just happens to coincide with Joce's day off, woot! After a tangent about armor and what it may or may not be covering, both hosts agree they are excited about Halo 4, which everyone expected from Ryan but was surprised to hear from Joce. Tune in next week for first impressions, and then we will be joined the week after by a 343 dev! So many questions, so little time! Also, below are the awesome sketches of us as zombies, by none other than Joel Duggan!
