  • Just Started Listening

    I just started listening and was okay with the first episode I heard. Started listening to a new episode of them talking about 2024 game awards and mannnn. They starting jumping into how capitalism is ruining the game awards. I was caught way off guard from this but kept listening and the whole time they seemed to give off the impression of disliking the game awards and critiqued the ad placements and orchestra at the award show…then will flip and say how much they enjoyed those same things. It ... more

  • Should call it Gamers On Politics

    Political agenda. We tune in to be entertained about video games. Instead we get political garbage and why they’re no longer on X. Nobody cares.

  • Formerly Fun, Now a Bummer

    I used to really love this podcast. It used to be a standard gaming podcast, about the latest games and sometimes about older games as well. It was a bunch of hosts that were a little older, "had jobs", and liked to still play and talk about games. It didn't have a perspective on current events with relation to games - or at least, it wasn't close to primarily that. Shawn was a great host, and had a strong voice as host. Sadly, Shawn left about 5 years ago. Since then, in an unexpected tu... more

  • One host (Amanda) has ruined podcast

    She was is the worst host in all podcast lamd! Jumped into the podcast today to hear Shawn say Amanda is in charge and has been doing a good job is so wrong! She has ruined GWJ! I have listened to this podcast for over 10 years. I can’t listen to it anymore because one particular newer host (Amanda) is like listening to fingers nails on a chalkboard. I have tried to tune out when this person speaks, but I have decided to just move on. I recently decided to check each episode to see if Amanda is ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GWJ Conference Call Episode 1046
Q: How erotic is Ladykiller in a Bind?
Gaby describes the game as explicit, while explaining that players can turn off the erotic scenes and imagery and focus on its social deduction and story.
GWJ Conference Call Episode 1046
Q: Can you talk about how Ladykiller Unleashed operates as a DLC? Is it additional story? How does it build into the rest of what is going on?
Gaby says the DLC adds new scenes, two routes featuring new characters, and additional endings and branching dialogue. She estimates it adds around five hours of playtime.
GWJ Conference Call Episode 1045
Q: How should side quests and main quests be balanced?
The group favors optional tasks that complement the main experience without feeling mandatory. Repetition can work when it is paced well and offers visible progress, while authored side quests and tasks that naturally fit the game's broader goals are more engaging than empty errands.
GWJ Conference Call Episode 1045
Q: What qualities in a game make quests exciting or interesting instead of just another obligation?
The hosts say quests feel worthwhile when they add context through lore or character, advance the story or player abilities, introduce new mechanics, or show meaningful progress. Tasks feel like filler when they only extend playtime without adding information, development, or a sense of accomplishment.
GWJ Conference Call Episode 1025
Q: How does the score for Quartet adapt to in-game events and cutscenes?
The composer described dynamic music where themes change based on actions, such as a western town theme turning into ragtime in the saloon, and bespoke pieces woven into specific scenes to reflect character interactions and narrative beats.
