Hey all! In this week’s episode we go over how game journalism has changed over the decades. From early Nintendo Power and EGM to the modern YouTuber and IGN review, we give our take on how reviews should be handled. Are you a fan of the point system or do you enjoy more of a technical breakdown of why features are good/bad?

It’s been 15 years since the Bioshock franchise started so we decided to continue and finish our segment on the games. Two weeks ago we touched on the philosophies of the first game and today we touch on the sequels. The franchise brought some interesting ideas storywise to the gaming world that we hadn’t really see done so well before. Also, who else is interested to see what Netflix does with a Bioshock movie? Join us as we touch on altruism and collectivism as well as some segments from the games we liked.

Welcome back! This is the final episode in our mini series, Interpreting The Elements! We have discussed earth, water and wind and now it is time to dive into fire. Fire is the life of everything and has been used countless time in stories, mythology and theories. It is such a crucial part of our lives that it is only natural that it plays an integral part in games. Whether it is used as purely a mechanic or a thematic tool it has the power to make games more intense with just its appearance!

Art house media has been around for quite a while. It is most known in the film industry with the movies that are a little bit out there but push the medium into direction that people were not comfortable with previously. Video games also have their fair share of games that really push the envelope here and these games have helped change the way we view the genre. They help broaden our minds and realize that games can do so much more than just run and jump. So sit back relax and enjoy these art house games!

This week we continue our mini series with part 3 of 4 in our interpretation of the elements in games. This week we are tackling air! Air and wind can really create a mood within games and it feels as though air is taken for granted or forgotten many times. But when a game showcases air in a special way it shines bright. So enjoy this weeks episode as we dive into air!

Fall and Winter are difficult seasons, filled with difficult decisions and changing landscapes. War, disease, unknown mysteries, dividing regions, all this and more in this exciting conclusion. But this is not a conclusion, this is just the end for now. We are going to be updating the map with all of our changes, as well as designing a game that lives within this world. And we will for sure be revisiting Axium for another round of the Quiet Year!

Welcome to Axium! This weeks episode is an extension of our “we make a game” series. This time we build a world to house our game. And in order to do this we play The Quiet Year! This is an amazing world building game where each player takes turns reacting to situations to help mold the world in front of them. We had such a good time doing this. So we hope you enjoy part 1 of The Quiet Year!

Hello Mogpies! This week we dive into a topic that is not new but has been given a new light especially with the state of the world over the last few years. That of is Liminal Spaces. We discuss how they are viewed now and how they have been used in various forms of media like horror or suspense films. But also venture into where the original concept of liminal spaces comes from. Where it is less of a physical space and more of a mental space. This is a very interesting topic to ponder about so enjoy this weeks episode!
