Episode 70 – Corporations Being Corporations

Hey! Yo! Yo! Hey! We’re back in your ears for the 70th episode of Make Me A Gamer! And it’s a good one! First TMan and HarveyZ discuss the Epic vs. Apple legal slap battle that’s been going on the last few weeks, and then they answer some questions that they didn’t have a chance to get to last week. Questions like: “how do you find games similar to ones you already know you like” and “what’s the deal with monks, anyway?” Then they end the episode with a short look back on some of their favorite Make Me A Gamer moments – because it’s been two years! How time flies when you’re having fun! Enjoy!

Episode 69 – The Nice Episode

Do not panic. Do not adjust your sets. Welcome…to the HarveyZ Zone.

This extra “nice” episode is purely in the hands of HarveyZ and TMan is just along for the ride. Join us both as we first venture into some medical studies regarding video games! Then HarveyZ challenges TMan to a new game he created called the Tower of Babel, and we finish with answering a question that totally wasn’t the result of HarveyZ hunting someone down and making them ask it.

We hope you enjoy this reversal of our format – we both had a blast recording it!

#63: Bulletstorm

#60: Overcooked

And more! Enjoy!

Episode 66 – Iron Chef Link

Make Me A Gamer is back with a start to its unofficially labelled season 3! After three months of not recording due to pandemic stress, TMan and HarveyZ are bringing the good gamer times to everyone once again!

This week’s episode is pretty straightforward: we’re just recapping what we’ve been doing for the last three months in the gaming sphere. TMan and HarveyZ both talk about their experiences in Animal Crossing and Minecraft, then HarveyZ digs into his misadventures in Breath of the Wild. Finally TMan wraps up talking a little bit about GTA Online and XCOM: Chimera Squad.

We hope you enjoy and we’ll be back on our regular schedule going forward!

Episode 65 – Bottle Season

This is the last episode recorded at the beginning of quarantine season! After much delayed editing due to *gestures at the world* we’re finally caught up and the next episode you hear will be timely and not recorded several months ago! This episode is still a good one, though, even if it’s not talking about the recent hot topic games. Please enjoy, and stay tuned for more regular Make Me A Gamer content in the future!

Episode 64 – I Like Having Numbers Become Bigger Numbers (Civilization 6 Deep Dive ft. Slim & Professor Q)

Hey! It’s slow going but we’re getting closer and closer to a regular weekly schedule again! Here’s another episode from the backlog that we recorded a while back. This is a special episode because not one, but TWO special guests are joining TMan & HarveyZ for a deep dive into Civilization 6 (as well as the Civilization series). Friends of the podcast Slim (previously seen) and Professor Q (in his podcast debut!) share their thoughts and opinions on Civilization 6 as all four of us have recently been playing it.

Then at the end we have a special Trivia-Off where HarveyZ tries to prove he’s been made a gamer as he goes up against Slim and Professor Q! Enjoy!

Top 100 Games of the ’10s: #100-91

So if you haven’t been listening to the Make Me A Gamer podcast, you’ve been missing out on the fact that I’ve composed my top 100 games of the decade list – from 2010-2019. I’ve been doling out a few numbers here and there as part of our Countdown Cauldron segment and while I won’t be going over every number in the podcast, I did promise to write up companion pieces that outline all the games.

In the podcast we’re working through sets of 10. We started with 100-91 and in the most recent episode moved to the 81-90 set, which means now it’s time for me to release the first group of ten. I tried writing up my Top 100 games of All-Time a few years back and ended up burning out in the 60s, so I’m going to try and keep the descriptions a little more brief so I don’t fall into the same trap. I will note the ones that were discussed on the podcast (and link to the related episode) and keep those even briefer.

Without further ado, #100-#91 of my personal favorite games of the 2010s.

Episode 59 – You Don’t Deserve Me At My Grookey

Ok, it’s been nearly a month since a Make Me A Gamer episode went up, but man what a crazy month it’s been. OWL Homestands, PAX East, LASIK surgery, hot water heaters dying – and that’s mostly just TMan’s schedule. BUT we’re back with a new episode that I hope you all enjoy, and sorry for the delay! A regular schedule should be resuming soon-ish!
