We continue our trend of new guests of the podcast! (All credit goes to @Eggerino) Talking to James about the writing process of his book, not to mentioned Untitled Goose Game itself, was a real pleasure!

[Blowing Cartridges @Blowcartpod]

We had the pleasure to interview James O’Connor @Jickle about the book he has penned on Untitled Goose Game, published by @BossFightBook. Tune in to hear James discuss the origins of the book, the writing process and the game itself.

Love the #N64 and want to wax lyrically about it on a podcast? Or conversely, do you seek to destroy its legacy? Get in touch about an upcoming episode of the @Blowcartpod …

[Tam @Tamazoid]

Had some very nostalgic memories of the Video Ezy in Traralgon that my family frequented whilst recording this episode. I find it surreal that such a memorable experience of my childhood is not pretty much impossible to experience.

In another game-centric episode, @Tamazoid & @Eggerino were joined by friend of the show @bucklepuff to discuss Pentiment, the stunning RPG Adventure deeply inspired by early modern German history.

[Tam @Tamazoid]

I’ll never say no to the opportunity of discussing two of my favourite things:

RPGs ✅
Early Modern History ✅

Pentiment is easily one of my favourite games - if you haven’t checked it out yet, do so as soon as possible!

As a complete neophyte in terms of understanding what actually goes into cosplay as a hobby, it was great to talk in depth with two experts about what it actually entails.

[Blowing Cartridges @Blowcartpod]

#Cosplay in many ways is the visible face of many hobbies - including video games. Thus we decided to dedicate an episode to the hobby. @_Fluto & Ria joined @Tamazoid & @Eggerino to discuss all things #cosplaying, from getting started to completion.
