Gamers Lounge

Gamers Lounge  Special – Creature Caster I have the privilege to speak with Jeremy Glen of Creature Caster about his upcoming kickstarter. Jeremy was the driving force behind Ultraforge Miniatures, those large scale centerpiece models of Demons, Dragons, and Treemen you are jealous of when your opponent pulls them out. Well, Jeremy is back with a new venture, Creature Caster, and his models are reaching greater heights of detail! We talk about his new Digital Sculpting process and how the new process differs from physical sculpting. We also delve into his strategy and approach to using kickstarter and how the upcoming kickstarter will help him launch the new company. Enjoy!

Gamers Lounge Ep. 82 – She has to deal with it! Episode 82 is here with the promised discussions of X-Wing, Firefly (the board game), and (non)Gamer Wives. Friend of the show and previous one listener Ben brings along his friend Luke and we all sit down for a conversation. We open up following their introduction to Wild West Exodus and grab their thoughts on the game. Following a break to play a quick game of Star War’s X-Wing, we come back with the promised Ben’s view on X-Wing. That’s followed up with Ben and I discussing getting our wives into games, specifically Ben’s wife Christina who WAS an acclaimed non-gamer. I hope you enjoy the show. Please feel free to send comments to my email or leave them in the comments on the blog.

Gamers Lounge Ep. 81 – It got away from me there! Well, Episode 81 got away from me and ended up as a whole episode. This is about twice what I expected as John and I discuss our first two games of Wild West Exodus. This was recorded on December 27th, fresh from the end of our second game. I hope you all enjoy.

Gamers Lounge Ep. 80 – Unboxing Fellow gamer, Kickstater Partner, and WWX opponent John joins me for the return episode of the Gamers Lounge. This recording is a long discussion as we unbox Bill’s giant box of Wild West Exodous and discuss the contents of the kick-starter. This could be the most boring podcast ever, or might be kind of interesting and exciting. I hope you enjoy! Content at: 00:00:16 – Intro 00:22:23 – Unboxing WWX Kickstarter 02:11:18 – Outro

Quick update on where Gamers Lounge has been for the past 3 months. Oh, and I posted some of whats coming up!!!   Here is a link to the paint contest I mentioned: http://www.wildwestexodusforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1076

 Gamers Lounge No Gamer Left Behind 7 – Honor Among Outlaws This is the longest NGLB recorded to date, reviewing Honor Among Outlaws. This is typically an independant release of a segment for the Gamers Lounge Podcast. NGLB 7 is releasing independently before it is included in a podcast episode so I am unsure which episode number it will be included in. This recording has spoilers for the novel, please do not listen past the warning if those spoilers will ruin your reading experience. This will be released as a segment of a future Gamers Lounge episode after the book releases on October 22, 2013.

Gamers Lounge Ep. 79 – Wild West Exodus II Wow, this is a great episode. Romeo of Outlaw Miniatures joins Dan and I to talk about Wild West Exodous. We got a tremendous reception to the original interview with Romeo and wanted to get him back on the show to talk further about WWX and see what we could pry out of him. There are more spoilers and new information in this episode than we typically hear from other companies in a whole year. This is exciting, so stop reading and start listening!!! Content at: 00:00:51 – Bill’s intro 00:06:30 – Romeo and WWX 01:47:14 – Skype hiccup, Serenity Opener, Return 02:02:20 – Bill Outro

Gamers Lounge Ep. 78 – Don’t need no stinking Schedules OK, not really. On a more serious note this is the promised show where I am joined by Andrew Weakland to discuss his views on Malifaux V2. He is much more positive than Spencer and I are and brings up some excellent points. Did he change my whole stance and am I in love with M2E now? Well, I did use M2E a couple times during the show, so I guess you need to listen and see. This is another 2 hour rambling conversation with no breaks, so no real good places to note specific content. Eventually we will get back to content marks in the show notes. Hell, eventually we will get back to a regular schedule! Enjoy!  

Gamers Lounge Ep. 77 – Therapy Gamers Lounge is not dead, and were back with a doozy of an episode. Bill returns with Spencer of Cheated Fates fame to talk about the topic everyone seems to have been waiting for, Malifaux v2.0.  There is a break in the recording but that really because the length of the show necessitated we take a quick break. So, strap your selves in and remember to keep your hands and feet inside the cart at all times. Here comes a three hour therapy session where Spencer and Bill discuss their views on Malifaux v2.0.

Gamers Lounge Ep 76 – Cheated Gamers Lounge Love Affair Episode 76 has Joe of Cheated Fates podcast fame joining Bill in a pre-Adepticon episode. We open up with the traditional Gamers Lounge lounge talk and cover a host of items such as recent games we have both been playing. Following that we dive into a great discussion of our predictions on Adepticon this year, and what we expect to see at the Adepticon Masters event. After much love fest chatter between Bill and Joe, Joe takes over the topic and steers us onto a discussion of the US Malifaux competitive scene. As usual, this goes sideways because it is the Gamers Lounge. The promised Yan Lo and Izamu discussion actually transferred onto Cheated Fates episode 12, which should also be out before Adepticon! Joe and Bill convened over there to have that discussion and to cover a lot of other items such as Negative Play Experience’s and the balance vs cost of models. Check it out at http://cheatedfatesradio.podbean.com/, it will probably beat this episode to the air!!! Lastly we have an Outro, where Bill offers vindication and an apology for maligning a local Malifaux player. Enjoy!!

Gamers Lounge Ep 75 – Prerecorded for her pleasure Episode 75 is prerecorded for her pleasure. As mentioned at the end of episode 74, we rolled right into recording episode 75 and scheduled it for a later release to keep up with our 2 week release schedule. It’s alays good to have some Gmers Loung to listen to! We open with our review of an Infinity Demo game that Dan ran Bill and Mike through. It’s an interesting discussion of the game overall. Rapid Fire 11 follows up the Infinity review, where we lead in with Facebook rapid fire questions. This segment is followed by another segment, the M&SU Bar where we play some Malifaux Guessing Games. In a show chock full of segments, we then follow up the M&SU Bar with a Business Man’s Malifaux, reviewing Bill’s latest crew selection for Atlanta. Then we jump into the Outro. If your interested in some of the outtake from the end of our Infinity demo game, we added it onto the end of the show, after the closing music. Enjoy!!

Mike and Dan talk about WWX intro games and how those went overall. Following that we dive into our topic, Which faction is the Least competitive for the Rules Manual strategies, and why. The M&SU Bar this episode responds to a request for a Colette Tactica. Dan and Bill spend time talking about the different ways they play Colette while Mike talks about facing Colette. After that the boys wrap up the show with the Outro. Enjoy!! Content at: 00:00:07 – Lounge Talk 00:57:00 – Least Competitive Faction 01:45:58 – M&SU Bar: Colette 02:13:31 – Outro

Gamers Lounge Ep 73 – Bill and Dan in a Knife Fight Episode 73 does a lot without actually doing anything. We waffled around a couple titles including the Interupt Bill Episode, Music gives our opinion about he who’s screwing things up, We Love Keltheos, and finally settled on the title above. Lounge Talk is a fair train wreck, with the original 2 minutes being moved to the end of the episode for your listening pleasure. Somewhere in there Bill compliments the Malifools on their podcasting skill, which we demonstrate we have very little of… Then the show begins. Following Lounge Talk we start our musical message of the show. If you follow along closely you can tell our opinion on something/someone currently. As for topics this show, the first “Topic” is Bill and Dan in a Knife Fight. Thanks to Lord Shaper for instigating this. Then you are treated to a bit of the disorganization that is Gamers Lounge as we scramble for a topic and settle on discussing the types of things that draw us to games, specifically miniature games. Our musical break with a message is followed by Rapid Fire 10, then its the Outro. Enjoy!! Content at: 00:00:36 – Lounge Talk 00:34:23 – Bill and Dan in a Knife Fight 00:40:39 – Our Topic / What draws you to games? 01:37:52 – Rapid Fire 10 01:50:24 – Outro

Gamers Lounge Ep 72 – Danisode Episode 72 is what you get when Dan is in charge of the show. We open with a very Malifaux centric Lounge Talk, discussing Bill’s trip to NC and then Dan and Mike’s experience in the Attrition Tournament. We also talk a little about some of the new Gaining Grounds strategies. Following that we talk with Justin Gibbs (Lalochezia) of Wyrd fame about EBO and Chronicles #4 releasing. After diving into that discussion we sidetrack onto Privateer Press and the announcement of the new Warmachine Faction. We discuss some of out thoughts before driving on into the topic of the episode. the topic was about Book 3, but ends up wandering as the Gamers Lounge is want to do. After we bring that to a conclusion we dive right into our Outro. Enjoy!! Content at: 00:00:36 – Lounge Talk 00:52:58 – Justin Gibbs Interview 01:19:53 – Warmachine new faction 01:34:00 – Where is it Now: Book 3 02:10:05 – Outro
