Lit Gaming Arena

This week's episode hit MAXIMUM POWER thanks to Mountain Dew Game Fuel, in some hope that maybe someday they might sponsor us (very unlikely!) but mostly to see if it actually works! It certainly improved the aim of our mouths towards the microphones! This gag does not go away the entire episode, you have been warned! But it does keep the energy level at MAX! In actual game related stuff, we discuss more Borderlands 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and some crappy mobile game Justin played. In our newer segement in which we interact with Twitter comments, we discuss building your own PC for gaming, or buying pre-built and the pros and cons of each.  More bonus comment this week is a special press release from Gamer Scrooge, the world's oldest gamer, calling out Nintendo of America for dropping the ball when it comes to special releases, and gambling in games. Don't miss this episode, there's enough energy here to last you a whole work-week!  As usual, here are all the links you need in life:  Check out our website at litgamingarena.com  Join our Discord community! chat.litgamingarena.com  We're also on Twitter! www.twitter.com/litgamingarena   AND we are on Instagram! @litgamingarena  And of course Facebook www.facebook.com/litgamingarenaCO  Sound effects obtained from www.zapsplat.com  And find our friends here:  www.gamingpodcastalliance.com  www.youtube.com/c/wafflecake  www.missingrollplayerfound.com

Welcome to Episode 26 of the LGAcast, where we get real meta! We respond to tweets, we talk about other video game podcasts and podcasters (nothing negative, we swear!) and Justin reveals the secret to conquering Facebook and his conspiracy as to why he is banned. Eventually we talk about video games! This week Layers of Fear 2 left Frost feeling bored, Justin finally tried out Sea of Theives while streaing, and Marcus talks about his infinite backburner. Additionally we talk about the new model of switch with the better battery life, and his personal conspiracy that Red Robin (yes, the restaurant) is actually a Sonic Character.

The Fourth of July is over and we're back with the best video game talk around, BATHWATER EDITION!!! Just kidding, that's only part of the podcast! This is our longest video yet and at least 90% of it is video games. In this episode we talk about which actors should play each role in a Gears of War movie, Doctor Mario World, the latest controversy over G2A, and tons more. The biggest announcment this week is the Switch Lite, which we feel is a big missed naming opportunity, and we give props to the Rated G for Gamers podcast for thinking of it way before us. Also we read comments from our Twitter responses about the Switch Lite and respond to each of them. Also, we're starting a new movement, and this one is called Gamers go to the Ocean.

After a week off of recording we're back with an action-packed episode, including the most insane FUTURE HEADLINES segment to date, so insane that we may need to let things cool off for a bit! You'll know why when you listen! And what would a gaming podcast be without video games? This week we discuss Spiderman, The Outer Wilds, The sequel to The Breath of the Wild, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, plus a rant about the negative stigma associated with crowd-funded video games. Additionally, we have news about some major e-sports changes surrounding LGA affecting Esports Corner, we give our piecee on EA's "surprise mechanics" and we leave off with a little tribute to the saddest news this last week regarding the content creator, Etika. #joyconboys As usual, here are all the links you need in life: Check out our website at litgamingarena.com Join our Discord community! chat.litgamingarena.com We're also on Twitter! www.twitter.com/litgamingarena  AND we are on Instagram! @litgamingarena And of course Facebook www.facebook.com/litgamingarenaCO Sound effects obtained from www.zapsplat.com And find our friends here: www.gamingpodcastalliance.com www.youtube.com/c/wafflecake www.missingrollplayerfound.com

There was an idea called The Gaming Podcast Alliance. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable video game podcasts, to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to have the video game discussions that nobody else ever could This is the innagural episode! We will be doing this about once a month. Today we are joined by three other podcasts, Rated G For Gamers, Shart Select, and Zap Night Gaming to discuss what we think the best video game console is.  As usual, here are all the links you need in life: Check out our website at litgamingarena.com Join our Discord community! chat.litgamingarena.com We're also on Twitter! www.twitter.com/litgamingarena  AND we are on Instagram! @litgamingarena And of course Facebook www.facebook.com/litgamingarenaCO And find our friends here: www.ratedgforgamers.com www.zapnight.com https://twitter.com/shartselectpod

E3 has come and gone and we have the scoop on EVERYTHING! Marcus very generously listed every E3 announcement from a conference in chronological order and we went down the entire list from top to bottom. Everything from the biggest announcement to something maybe you've never even heard of, we have it all! Afterwards, we discuss what our favorite moments of this year's E3 and our biggest disappointments. It has been a crazy year for E3, and simultaneously, very fun! We really hope we have more E3 to cover in the years to come. And for any of our Australian listeners who make it all the way to the end of the podcast, I'm so verry sorry.

When scandals hit, they hit hard, and few have hit the video game community as hard as the ProJared controversy. We take a deep dive into everything that has happened and discuss what all transpired and discuss our thoughts on all that has come out (Hint: It's not good for Jared). Oh and we talk about other stuff too.

The LGAcast got its first review and we couldn't be happier, but it has only whet our appetite! We need more iTunes reviews! Give us reviews and Marcus will be your best friend, we're begging here!! Today we got a little bit sidetracked by the political rhetoric going around and had an impromptu politics corner, which was later capstoned by discussion of unionizing in the video game industry and crunch time. As for other video game discussion, we talk about everything from Wizards Unite, to Epic buying Psyonix (Rocket League), and the upcoming Sonic Movie. Also, if you happen to hear chimes while listening to this episode, you are not going crazy! We had the window open and I didn't realize the chimes in the wind were just barely loud enough to pick up in one of the mics!
