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.

Aug 14, 2018

That magical time of year is upon us again: Double-O August returns, bringing with it a whole bunch of topics to delight and confuse. This is the month in which your hosts refuse to talk about anything that doesn't contain a double-o, so we hope you like it? "Cartoons" leads off this holy month, so make sure to tune in and listen to Greg get frustrated with babies. Giovanni defends his strange addiction. Dave teaches everyone how to audio-bend. Colin describes his obsidian hippo. 

MAKE SURE TO STICK AROUND AFTER THE EPISODE FOR THE PREMIERE OF LTRT: AFTER HOURS. 

If you enjoyed this episode, you should really commit to the double-o bit and like us on Facebook. You can also prepare yourself for double-t October by following us on Twitter. Gird yourself for double-n November by subscribing to our YouTube Channel. And as always, you can fulfill your monthly double-p April obligations by giving us a like and review on Apple Podcasts. 

Games discussed include Rugrats: Search for Reptar, Animaniacs, The Legend of Korra, and Garfield: Caught in the Act.

Beta 0
Jul 31, 2018

In celebration of No Man's Sky's final launch out of its Beta phase and into the full fledged game it was meant to be, your hosts at LTRT have put together this show on the subject of "Beta." While thee inventory management simulator NMS has finally turned into the game it was meant to be, that isn't the case for other games caught in a perpetual Beta state. Giovanni explores how Betas just ruin games forever. Greg asks important questions about the role Betas play in esports. Colin makes reference to Le Internationale, but doesn't follow through. Dave settles an argument that somehow involves Mothra. 

We'd like to thank all our listeners who have tuned in for the early access version of this podcast. As we work to create the audio discussion show that we know it can be, we always welcome your feedback. You can leave a bug report on our Facebook or Twitter. Subscribers to our extreme early access can also watch exclusive video content on our YouTube Channel.

Toniiiiiight. We are Pets. So let's fill the bowl with kibble, or we can all nibble, on some boooones. "Pets" is the topic in this episode, which is appropriate since they needed to spray Colin with a water bottle in this one. Tune in as Greg recounts the trauma of the worst crime ever perpetuated against him. Giovanni frets over virtual birds. Colin explores his unprocessed feelings towards Tubs the cat. And Dave just tries to pet some digital dogs.
 
Note: Colin, in his "Vacation Dave" state, conflated Digimon Tamagotchi with all Tamagotchi. He regrets this mistake. Please no emails. 
 
 
Please post pictures of your pets to our Facebook and Twitter. You can also find more critter related content on our YouTube channel. Lastly, in exchange for giving us a like and review on Apple Podcasts, one of our hosts will be your pet for the day! I guess that's why Colin has all those collars.

Well it's the Big Show (oh) it's the Big Bad Show tonight. Er, not tonight specifically, but maybe just on this episode?
 
E3 2018 looms over us like so many giant, muscular wrestlers, ready to slap us in the chest in a hard, loud, and frankly embarrassing fashion. Your hosts are here to give you a hardy Abdominal Stretch as they discuss the rumors (and promises) for this year's E3. Greg gives a Big Boot to an adorable pikmin-like project. Dave comes in with a Sidewalk Slam related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Giovanni Chokeslams some indie game. Colin sends you to dreamland with a knockout punch. Whatever, it's E3 - we'll be watching all week for the latest information.

Don your best raid gear, fill up that cup of mountain dew, and cancel your plans because it's time for LTRT's MMO episode. In honor of MMOrial Day, your hosts have gathered to see just how many times they can raid wipe before they finally get sick of each other. Greg tanks like no one's business. Dave definitely has that DPS covered. Giovanni goes to jail for laundering money through the gold farm economy. Colin will not stop blasting his favorite Hoobastank song into the mic. It's the true MMO experience, in podcast form!

Dave freeboots over 1,000 Dry Bones mods for various games. Greg sneezes and just like, doesn't even try to cover his mouth? Like he just does it uninhibited and acts like it's not even a big problem. Giovanni replaces his skeleton with iron rods. He's really the only one who does much customizing in this episode.
