This week we have a Satisfactory discussion, followed by a long runthrough of games that NPR likes. Pretty straightforward. We hope you enjoy it! For Show Date: 12/12/2024    November Gameclub: Satisfactory Next Gameclub: Terra Invicta The best games of 2024, picked by NPR's staff

Greetings friends, Jared's internet was dead again. This time it was so bad and Jared complained so much, they sent him new network equipment to try to fix the problem. We'll see next week if it actually does, but In the mean time enjoy one more tiny teaser about Satisfactory before the next Episode is our full Gameclub Discussion on it.

We both took time to be with our Families this week, and hope you all had a happy turkey day as well, even if you don't celebrate!

In this episode of the Video Game Logic Podcast, we do a recording, but we're tired and old and so we didn't stick fully to the show format. We discuss games played, a smidgeon of news, and toaster ovens! Just, in a somewhat disorganized manner. Enjoy the show.

The boys finally get to Fallout 76, and only sprinkle in a little politics into the ending. We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the show.    Topics list: For Show Date: 11/14/2024    Gameclub: Fallout 76 Next Gameclub: Satisfactory Fan-Favorite GOG Launches Game Preservation Program for Classic Titles Valve accused of "allowing the proliferation of hate" on Steam Kitten Space Agency, the answer to KSP 2?

The boys tonight engage in a post election discussion. We let out a lot of pent up feelings we've had since Tuesday night. We absolutely understand if you don't need this right now and need to skip this week. The next episode will Discuss Fallout 76, and the following gameclub is Satisfactory. We hope you all stay safe out there. 

Rage and Jared this week continue to be old men who are tired and broken. Next week, recording day is the US election, and we're going to stress way to much over what is going to happen. Perhaps we'll record it if there is a request. We hope you stay safe out there!

In this franken/non franken episode we talk about Rage's time at the Con, a single game I played, and explain why this one is weird. Next week is this months Gameclub Episode, so if you still want to participate, you've got time to play Fallout 76!

This week it was Jared's turn to mess things up. I forgot I had an event for my kid the day we decided we would record. So I had to go do that instead. Enjoy medical stories this week, and some more US politics stuff. 

This week, Rage is on his yearly pilgrimage to his state's anime convention. We pull some franken content from a recent recording, where we get very political. Given the nature of the discussion, and the time of year it is in America, we absolutely understand if you wish to skip this one. We'll be back with anime con stories and video game BS soon!

This week its Jared's turn to disrupt the schedule. He had a family emergency that needed tending too, so you get the first chunk of franken we recorded when we recorded last weeks episode. Enjoy!

Jared is losing it, two weeks in a row he's had an outage on the new planned recording night. Enjoy some more Franken Content. It seems we're likely to move the new permanent recording night to Thursday. 

This week threw us so many curveballs. We knew we needed to get the Gameclub done, Rage's work schedules be damned! So we agreed on a different recording night to get this done. Then Spectrum has an all day outage in the entire county where I live. So, I dug around in the archives and found a franken episode that didn't have a correlating name so I think this one has sat buried and unlisted to for 2 whole years. Enjoy!

Greetings listeners! This week we have a slightly different than usual franken episode that I explain in an opening stinger. Beyond that, we hope you all have a lovely weekend, and hope to see you again next week!

This week Jared needed to handle some adulting that could only get taken care of on recording night. Damn you financial responsibility! This franken is part 1 of Jared's recent weekend adventure to a very rich family's wedding. Part 2 will show up on the next franken episode. Enjoy your week!

This week we finally get back to it. We spend a long time talking about Baldur's Gate 3, and "spolers" we love this game. We look forward to seeing how many times it shows up on the VGL Awards this year.  For Show Date: 8/13/2024    July Gameclub: Baldur’s Gate 3 Next Gameclub: Lollipop Chainsaw

Rage had a very bad work schedule this week, and we were unable to connect up for a recording. We've got a short franken episode this week, and I'm putting together some solo content for if/when we can't record. The next recorded episode is still the Baldur's Gate Gameclub, and hopefully we are recording this coming week.
