The 2018 Manatees! (And One TKO)

What’s this? Two episodes of Make Me A Gamer in one week? It must be a Christmas miracle! TMan and HarveyZ got together to record a shorter, bonus episode (although it didn’t end up nearly as short as intended) to talk about their favorite games from 2018. HarveyZ talks about the one game he played that was released in 2018, and then TMan gives out the first ever Manatee awards for his games of the year! We hope you enjoy, and we’ll see you all in the new year! (This episode was recorded December 18th, 2018.)

Bonus Episode – The Fabled Episode Zero

So TMan overestimated his ability to edit a full episode after returning from his vacation, but never fear! He’s not going to let a Tuesday go by without an update! So here’s your first bonus content from the Make Me A Gamer crew: the much talked about, long-awaited Episode Zero! That’s right, you get to hear TMan and HarveyZ’s humble beginning, before they even knew what their podcast was going to be called. The scheduled episode will be coming later this week, but for now enjoy this look back into our past!

Episode 14 – Monkey in the Box

On this week’s episode of Make Me a Gamer, TMan and HarveyZ forego topical news to discuss some games they’ve been playing. HarveyZ has another XCOM 2 update, and TMan’s been playing Hitman 2 and a mobile game called Piffle. We also talk a little bit about Lady Gaga playing Bayonetta before diving into a very spoiler-filled discussion of The Stanley Parable, which both TMan AND HarveyZ had a chance to play before the podcast! (This episode was recorded November 27th.)

NOTE: For about thirty seconds at the 37 minute mark of the podcast, you may hear some audio disturbance. Do not panic, do not adjust your set: it was part of the podcast that was unable to be edited out as TMan is not a professional audio editor yet. There are a few other audio errors within the podcast but hopefully not as noticeable.

Episode 13 – Predator with Parkour: The Assassin’s Creed Episode

On this week’s episode of Make Me A Gamer, TMan and HarveyZ have an unusually focused episode where they do a deep dive into Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. They do get on a few of their trademark tangents, though, including discussing magicians, sex scenes in video games, and….John Leguizamo’s The Pest? (This episode was recorded on October 13th.)

Episode 9 – John Carpenter’s It (The Spooky Spoiler Episode)

We have a special Halloween treat this week for Make Me A Gamer! TMan and HarveyZ accidentally recorded a semi-spooky themed episode! After talking about our experience with simulation games (including early experiences with “titillating” games and mods) we dive into talk about horror movies and what we like and don’t like about them. TMan and HarveyZ also get into spoiler territory as we have differing opinions on them. (Spoilers: we spoil some fictional events that are 10+ years old in this podcast.) We also talk about some scary, spooky video games and end with a little bit of talk about the Secure, Contain, Protect wiki. (This episode was recorded September 29th.)
