Sines, Co-sines, & Tangents

We discuss toxic game culture and its impact on gaming at large and people who identify as gamers. We also discuss STAR TREK, and why we need it today, and how Star Trek Discovery doesn't fill the need.

We discuss The Orville, Ohio's unhappiness, Nintendo's getting violent, and something near and dear to heart... METROID. The last Metroid is in captivity, and this podcast is at peace.

This week Jared and Shawn discuss the growth of independent games and their impact on the industry. Also we review The Defenders (summary: meh).

Hey fellow kids, what podcasts are the hippest? Ours! We talk Ducktales, a Joker origin film, Sonic Mania, and our main topic... you'll want to stick around for.

We discuss a thousand streaming services, and a thought experiment on violence in games.

We're finally back. For good. We talk about cooperative gaming in the truest sense. Coming together for something bigger.

We're back baby! We talk about Diablo 2... er I mean 3. Our main topic is the cycle of fan games, mods, hacks, creative control etc. Games have a life of their own after they are published.

We discuss Wonder Woman! We also delve into the world that is emulation, and why it can be important. Are games just commercial products, or are they something more?

This week we discuss the great randomness that roguelikes bring to games, and the best DC movie you'll see this year, and it's not even a movie!

We discuss role playing games, team building, and building stories or experiences that will last a lifetime.

We're back this week with an all tangents podcast. Ranging from superheroes, to superheroes, are there enough superheroes already? We talk about XBox Project Scorpio, and DLC for Zelda, and much more more.
