Episode 182: Obra Dinner

Episode 100: 101 Ruminations

Release Date: 09/09/2017

Description: 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.

Episode 265: The Transformers Method

Release Date: 07/25/2022

Description: We awaken from our Wardcast cryosleep long enough to get ahold of some audio equipment and record ourselves a podcast. Much has happened while we were away — too much to cover in a single podcast, in fact, so we’ll just focus on the most recent events. Namely, John Riccitiello’s continued mismanagement of Unity with its announced merger with ironSource. We then scooch on over to talk about the games we’ve been preoccupying ourselves with — we stand on either end of the soulslike spectrum with Tunic and Elden Ring, converse about Wordle and Wordle accessories, and take command of some decks in Magic: The Gathering. All this and more on this very special Wardcast! Games include The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Tunic, Inscryption, Wordle, Fortnite: Zero Build, Pokémon Legends Arceus, Elden Ring, and Magic: The Gathering. Got a question for the show?

Episode 80: Let 'Er Rip

Release Date: 04/12/2017

Description: We’ve rebranded! The Ward Podcast will henceforth be known as the Wardcast. Be sure to tune your Internet dials to Wardcast from your preferred podcast app of choice. We discover the five states of matter in the Metal Gear universe: solid, liquid, solidus, acid, and rising. Sam explores philosophy in Everything while we talk about comparing games to one another as well as the guilt of not finishing games. Will returns home to Dark Souls, now attempting to do a New Game 7-plus run. Momin returns in back-to-back episodes to dazzle us with his Raiden impression and talk about some of the hottest new Japanese titles, Persona 5’s streaming restrictions, and his MGS Vee theory. Dylan talks about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the terrifying world of Twitch streaming. We also talk about the art of web design and domain registration, with Momin’s acquisition of indie.haus and Sam’s new landing page for Remote Games. And Ludum Dare 38 is right around the corner, so we discuss our ideas and goals for the game jam. Games include Everything, Rain World, The Witness, Dark Souls, NieR: Automata, Persona 5, and Crossy Road. Got a question for the show?
