Pour Gamer's Podcast

In Episode 2 of the Pour Gamers Podcast, Chris Mullan is joined by Dante Molino and guest Jim for a wide-ranging conversation covering Madden, football culture, gaming, and convention experiences. The discussion drifts into stories from Comic-Con, including the overwhelming vendor floors, strange collectibles, and the kind of impulse purchases you only make at conventions. Along the way the group talks about gaming culture, fandom events, and a few questionable jokes that don’t quite land.Original air date: February 17, 2018.

In the debut episode of the Pour Gamers Podcast, Chris Mullan and Dante Molino kick things off with a loose, conversational discussion about what the show is and what kind of gamers they are. From there, they dive into NBA 2K’s aggressive monetization, the growing problem of loot boxes in gaming, disappointment around Star Wars Battlefront II, why the Nintendo Switch feels like a huge win for Nintendo, and how indie and retro-style games are becoming more important as AAA publishers chase microtransactions. They also get into Rocket League’s weirdly addictive staying power, games they hated before eventually loving, and a quick first impression of Monster Hunter. Original air date: February 10, 2018.
