Casual Sweats

Our sidequest this week takes us through some exciting Gamescom announcements such as Secret Level and a Borderlands 4 confirmation, our very scientific take on the science of exploring alien planets, MinnMax's lovely tribute to Game Informer, and a discussion about why people get so angry and/or scared about things they don't understand.

In this sidequest, we're exploring horrifying AI art, RDJ as Tony Stark as Dr. Doom (no that's not a typo), skill-based matchmaking, and the sad news that Game Informer has closed after 33 wonderful years. We also explored the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in video games. Is "wokeness" ruining video games? Why do some developers seem so obsessed with making sure their games include diverse representation? Is there an agenda at play? We discuss and maybe you'd like to weigh in.Talk at uscasualsweatspod@gmail.comtag @joban_gh in an Instagram storyvisit www.facebook.com/casualsweatspod

E3 2021 was... something that happened. As arguably disappointing as it may have been, we talk about the exciting things that DID happen, we discuss why anyone would pay for a multiplayer-only game at this point, and who would win in a fight between Master Chief and Captain Price?

E3 is here and Even is so stoked he can hardly contain himself! We talk E3 predictions, E.D. prescriptions, and D&D descriptions. Also, how much would you sell out for and Capital One is our (not) sponsor this week! Capital One, the only card that fits in your pocket!P.S. Josh was right and Miyazaki IS the creator of the souls games. Just a different Miyazaki than the Studio Ghibli Miyazaki. Carry on.History of E3 video: https://youtu.be/enrVDHSRwqE

Two CEOs enter, one will leave... with most of their revenue stream still intact. We discuss the Epic versus Apple trial, the hilarious monkey business that has ensued from it, what we're playing (Evan loves hockey), and Mario's murderous past. Enjoy!

Season 2 is coming with more tension, more drama, more flavor, more bits, more philosophy, and more... US! We're changing it up, being more ourselves, and still using video games as an excuse to dive into our own various interests! Whatever this season ends up being, it'll be more authentic, and we're excited. Come along for the ride!

We're joined this week by Ben and Clayton to decide the very best games of 2020 and give out some other awards, as well!
