Video Games - The Scotchcast

This week's show is more "laid back" as Thurb put it, with the discussion topics ranging from dealing with loss to everyone's "black sparrow of time" to straight up depression. You know, lighthearted stuff. Oh, also some video games.Music:"Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Featured Members: Thurbleton, Shinboy & SquiddelRuntime: 01:16:23No real plugs this week to be honest, as Squiddel ends the show in his own special way.You can leave feedback or follow us on @thelincolncast on twitter and thelincolncast@gmail.com

After about a month of non-GW2 related discussion, the Living Story has picked back up, and so has The Lincolncast! Shin, Thurb, and Squiddel sit down to discuss the newest update, as well as the world events that come with it. Squiddel and Shin then share some stories that may or may not involve adult beverages, while Thurb discusses the enigma that is Dave Lang.Music: "Super Adventure Box: Main Theme" byMaclaine Diemer Leif ChappelleFeatured Members: Thurbleton, Shinboy, SquiddelRun time: 01:09:18Plugs!Colin Johanson Mike Zadorojny of ArenaNet did a really interestinginterviewwith Eurogamer.Fellow Lincoln Force member Blitz took some screenshots of Scarlet's hideout and decided toshareon r/GuildWars2Squiddel should buy a 3DSDave LangBut Anet said thenightmarewas over!You can leave feedback or follow us on @thelincolncast on twitter and thelincolncast@gmail.com

It is still the relative calm before the 2014 release storm, so we sit back and talk about both the recent and the not-so-recent games we have been playing. Shin has taken a liking to Japan, specifically Japan in a whole three dimensions, while Thurb has finally beaten Spelunky and my be beaten by a different kind of Enemy. Squiddle joins as well, and talks about an upcoming weekend that has forced his hand into making some Unreal purchasing decisions.

We sit around for our first podcast of 2014 with not much gaming stuff to talk about at all - so suffice to say that this episode is a glorious train wreck. Expect fireworks, blackouts, GUNs, (near)eroge, bows, board games and maybe even some video games. Grab a bottle of something, warm up some cheap party pies and sit back - you're in for a ride.Music:"Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic, No0b0rAmA, Thurbleton, Squiddle &DourinRun time: 2:20:19Plugs!gamesdonequick.com- a Speed Run charity marathon!

Not being able to make the actual GOTY deliberations this year, I decided to record something to be chucked onto the end of that episode. After thinking about it, 45 mins of me just talking into a microphone would be boring to everyone so I added music. Then, well, I went overboard and it ended up 2 hours long.So here it is! My GOTY ruminations and top 10 list with a musical guessing game chucked in for good measure.

Thurb, Shinboy, Dourin, and Squiddle sit down to talk about such things as pirate themed games, indie games, and games we've bought on the winter sale. Rounding out the show Shinboy and Squiddle share there music picks of the year and then some plugs.

Thurbleton sits down with Self Confessed Cynic and Squiddle to talk about how The Nightmare Ends update and PvP changes with Guild Wars 2 is cool stuff!  Afterwards we do a little bit of general gaming banter with what we've been playing (or planning to play during winter break) and how the week has been with news.Music:  "Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Music:  "Super Adventure Box: Main Theme" by Maclaine Diemer & Leif ChappelleFeatured Members:  selfconfessedcynic, Squiddle & ThurbletonRun time: 01:44:52Plugs!Black Mesa Mod - http://www.blackmesasource.com/Freeman's Mind - http://www.youtube.com/user/chilledsanityWant to play some Board games? - http://boardgamegeek.com/I think this is Cynics other plug - http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic-31/any-3-5-player-board-game-recommendations-1463372/You can leave feedback or follow us on @thelincolncast on twitter and thelincolncast@gmail.com

Wow, the VGX was an absolute mess, huh? We weren't going to record this week but then THAT happened so there's the first half of the show. After that, a surprisingly important piece of news cropped up recently (though unconfirmed), one which may actually effect all of us. For a two man show, this week's episodecertainly doesn't lack discussion.Music:"Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Featured Members:selfconfessedcynic & ThurbletonRun time:01:49:39You can leave feedback or follow us on @thelincolncast on twitter and thelincolncast@gmail.com

The title says it all - the PS4 comes out this week so it's time to talk about the generation that was. Tune in for some pretty heated moments as we narrow down the best games of generation 7 (PC/PS3/360/Wii).
