S2 Episode 22: the return of lost media

S2 Episode 22: the return of lost media

Author: Rock Paper Shotgun July 7, 2023 Duration: 1:01:49
I was gone but now am here again to join my co-hosts on this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast, much like the hundreds and hundreds of of hours of interviews, press briefings and old presentations salvaged by Noclip and heaved onto YouTube. We were going to talk about children's games this week, but given the game for children I was going to talk about was once Stadia exclusive Gylt it seemed a time to talk about the precariousness of digital media a bit (and also make James explain Stadia). We've all been playing a few games here and there, and most of them are current, with Nate still very enthusiastic about being a dinosaur. James comes with more beans to the hardware altar, and we all have some slightly weird suggestions for your recommendations. Plus, because Liam is actually away this week, I made a special effort to pay attention to audio levels and reduce background noise because I've seen ye all complaining about when I have to edit the podcast and I'm sick of it.

There's a certain kind of conversation that happens when friends who are deeply into PC gaming get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on Electronic Wireless Show. Each episode from Rock Paper Shotgun begins with a solid, often wonderfully niche topic from the world of computer games-be it a classic strategy title, the latest hardware debate, or the oddities of a new release. But the real charm lies in the detours. The discussion might start with graphics cards and effortlessly meander into an earnest debate about the merits of different aquarium setups or a shared fascination with oddly placed roadside traffic cones. It’s this blend of genuine expertise and unscripted, tangential chatter that gives the podcast its character. You're not just getting analysis; you're getting a slice of the wide-ranging, sometimes absurd, and always passionate conversations that happen when people who live and breathe this stuff simply start talking. It feels less like a formal production and more like you’ve pulled up a chair at a lively pub table where the topics are as unpredictable as they are engaging. Tune in weekly for that specific mix of focused insight and delightful digression.
