Episode 100: 101 Ruminations

It’s Wardcast’s centennial episode! To celebrate, we’re bringing you a new series, Wardcast at Night. It’s the same Wardcast experience, only at night. On our one hundredth episode, we talk about Metal Gear Solid’s memes, genes, and submarines as well as the differences in Western and Eastern games culture. In other news: Mario is no longer a plumber, a VentureBeat playthrough of Cuphead reignites the debate about getting good at games, Early Access games are getting considered for Game of the Year, and waves are being caused by Walt William’s book excerpt, “Why I Worship Crunch.” We’d like to thank everyone that’s been on the podcast these past one hundred episodes, from special guests across the games industry to everyone that’s a part of our extended RVA Game Jams family. You all make the Wardcast awesome to do. Here’s to the next hundred episodes. Games include Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Robo Recall, Jackbox Party Pack 3, and Overwatch.
