Left Trigger Right Trigger

Join us every other week as we convene the 'video game book club.' Each episode is structured around a topic: anything from 'Trust' to 'Robots' to 'Body Parts'. Listen in as your hosts each bring a game to the table that they think exemplifies that topic in some way. Give us a shot and remember, games are just metaphors.

Julie, Kayla and Sam are three high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. Lisa, Mitchell and Hunter are three overprotective parents who flip out when they find out about their daughters' plans. They soon join forces for a wild and chaotic quest to stop the girls from sealing the deal -- no matter what the cost. Anyways, that's the synopsis for the film Blockers.

In this episode: Giovanni gets good. David finds a new path. Greg makes a big swing about what language should and shouldn't be used in video games.

Listeners! We're joined once again by our friendly tentacle aficionado, Andrew Zucosky. He's here to talk all things Monster(s) and we're here to somehow make this about Catholicism. 

In this episode: Giovanni teaches us how little separates humans from rats. David opens our eyes to the monsters of everyday life. Zuco cautions us not to dive too deeply to the origin of horror. Tess asks the ancient creatures of the mountain to make her more monstrous. Greg talks about a video game.

Listeners, let's discuss an important distinction. If we make the statement, "this episode is about Precision," is that statement accurate, precise, or both? Make sure to get on twitter and tell us which one is right. Really just go ham. It's @LTRTCast, in case you forgot. 

In this episode: Giovanni ages out of e-sports. David saves us from master hand. Tess has trouble with her locker. Greg buys a broken peripheral. Trombones are here, too. 

If you want to know precisely how you can support this show, head over to patreon.com/LTRT. You can get access to our Discord and join the growing movement to convince Tess to stop shitposting.

Dear listener, we ask you to be our mirror. Tell us, what is our reputation? Please be honest, and let us know who you think we are. Then let us know what wares that makes us qualified to purchase. The UI is foggy on this so we have to use text prompts.

Pets: what are they? where do they call home? what's their favorite treat? This is an episode full of thoughts like these and also RIP Gorbachev we guess. 

In this episode: David ponders the immortal Nintendog. Giovanni watches his cat play video games. Greg explore his dark side. Tess has her petting zoo license revoked.

Listeners, Double-O August comes in like a Cookie and out like a Bazooka. This episode blasts its way into your brain, opening you up to new ideas. I guess your brain is a tank or something in this metaphor? When did writing these get so difficult.  

In this episode: David asks, "why do game have a big gun?" Giovanni tries to rocket jump. Tess loads everything she can into a tube and blasts it at you. Greg has worms.  

Hungry for more nonsense and explosive ordinance? Check out patreon.com/LTRT. You can learn all about World Flipper, a game that captured our attention for approximately two months that then most of us swore off of. 

Or you could also check out lefttriggerrighttrigger.com

A treat! A snack! A delight! A Cookie! Listeners, however you describe it, this episode is sweet enough to satiate your sweet...ear? Is that really the audio equivalent of a sweet-tooth? Sweet-cochlea? That's nothing - this metaphor isn't working. 

In this episode: David reveals the dark underside of Pokémon GO. Giovanni explains why we're in the silver age of character licensing deals. Greg says a lot of jargon in a convincing and scary way. Tess wants to know what your relationship to cookies is like.  

If you're interested in a real sweet treat, you can dip your hand into our cookie jar over at patreon.com/LTRT. If you sign up you can listen to an exclusive podcast in which we only talk about Elden Ring for like 2 hours. Isn't that a sweet treat?

Listeners, it's the episode you've all been waiting for: the one where we talk about that one sword from Beowulf. Just kidding, this isn't an episode about Hrunting, the sword gifted from Unferth and used in battle against Grendel's Dam. It's about Hunting - something these four nerds are definitely qualified to discuss.

In this episode: David lands a ten-pointer (that's a hunting thing? right? numbers and points?). Tess gets addicted to roleplaying in Pokémon. Greg doesn't talk about a card game (well, only technically). Giovanni unleashes his darkest wrath with a plastic shotgun. 

Hey listen, if you like the Hunting episode you can support all our other sports goals by going to patreon.com/LTRT. All our best trophies are there, like the special episode of After Hours where we discuss Gamer Tummies.

If for some reason you'd like to hunt us down and give us a piece of your mind, know that we won't make it easy for you but you can start by heading over to lefttriggerrighttrigger.com 

Games discussed: Dicey Dungeons, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010, Hunt: Showdown, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus
