The Disconnected Gamers Podcast

Episode 105. Recorded April 17th, 2021. Featuring Mike, CJ, and Andrew talking about PS5 thoughts (after having one for a bit), Shipping delays, new games, etc. It’s been months since we managed to record again and I’m (Andrew) really glad we did. This has been a passion project of mine since it started with Mike […]

Episode 104. July 6th, 2020. SPOILER ALERT! We are going to talk about our experiences playing The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4. We are not avoiding anything so if you haven’t played the game yet, or are still working through it you probably want to hold off on this episode. I start the […]

Episode 103. May 23rd, 2020. Mike, CJ, and Andrew re-convene to chat about life and gaming, heavily focusing on the “disconnected” part of TheDGCast. Not a ton to discuss as we’re all doing different things as of late and the summer always ends up being a slow time for the gaming cycle. Biggest things still […]

Episode 102. May 3rd, 2020.*Editor’s Note: There were some audio issues with Andrew’s recording and so he sometimes sounds like a robot and the volume isn’t balanced well. We’re hoping this is a one-off with the recording and that future episodes won’t end up like this. We reconvene after a whole ordeal of things. Who […]

Episode 101. March 21st, 2020. Interview with Jande and Lucas from Double Dash Studios in Brazil. Jande and Lucas join CJ and Andrew on the podcast for an interview about Double Fine Studios and their game Sky Racket, which was recently demo’d at PAX East this year. Jande and Lucas chat about Sky Racket, the […]

Episode 100. Really. One Hundo. Neat. March 7th(?), 2020. Essentially this episode is Andrew running the show talking about the games he played and experiences he had at PAX East 2020 recently. Obviously Episode 99 was all nostalgia about The Last of Us, and as you know Sony backed out of the convention at the […]

Episode 99. Woah. Weird seeing that there. February 9th, 2020. Three(ish) topics today: E3 and Geoff Keighley not attending in a major fashion like he has for the last 25 years. We’re also going to talk about The Last of Us 2 being playable at PAX East and the nostalgia that accompanies it all. We’re […]

Episode 98. February 1st, 2020. Our first regular podcast episode since 2018, and we’ve got a new co-host. CJ, a longtime friend of ours joins the podcast! We talk about the new way we’re likely to be handling the podcast moving forward, in a “3-part system” that we spent hours of R&D and countless dollars […]

Episode 97. January 30th, 2020. Jaycee Salinas from Ask an Enemy Studios joins Andrew on the podcast. We talk about PAX South 2020, and development process on his game A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher.

Episode 96. December 12th, 2018. Interview with Brian Wilson, creator of the game Where the Bees Make Honey. Apologies as this podcast was recorded earlier this month but the holidays and work/life balance prevented me from posting this sooner. Brian and I used to write together for Radio Playstation, a Playstation focused twitch show and […]

Episode 95. November 18th, 2018. We talk about where we’ve been, what we’ve been playing, and what’s coming up in the future. Planning and life and such.

Episode 94. Saturday, July 21st 2018. Welcome to the show Michael Hicks, one of the two devs behind The Path of Motus, the game just released by the duo. The Path of Motus is a game about bullying, and is somewhat of a coming of age tale with some puzzles added into the mix. Michael […]

Episode 93. April 21st, 2018. This episode comes in under an hour, which is crazy considering how long it’s been since we’ve gotten together. Mike and Andrew re-connect since the PAX South episode, and Andrew talks about a lot of the games he saw at PAX East. Semblance, A Duel Hand Disaster, Sky Noon, RICO, […]

Episode 92. February 20th, 2018. This episode is an interview episode! Ben Wander joins the podcast to talk about game development and his newest game, A Case of Distrust. We talk about the game, development in general, travel, games we’re playing, and a bunch of other things as we go through the episode.  You can […]

Episode 91. January 12th, 2018. This is our PAX South episode, and also the first time Mike and I have ever recorded in the same room. Heads up on the audio: Because we used a different setup for recording on the fly, the audio is totally unbalanced (Andrew is less quiet than Mike but we’re […]

Episode 90 (techncially 89 pt 2.). November 27th, 2017. Continuing off from where episode 89 should have continued, we discuss some more Black Friday related stuff but also talk about the ongoing issue regarding the way Destiny 2 has been handling XP. Only recently, after a reddit user (or several) dived into the mechanics of […]

Episode 89. November 26th, 2017. We discuss our 2017 Black Friday and potential Cyber Monday deals we were getting or hoped to get. Apologies as the episode ended sooner than expected. Andrew’s always busy.  Hey SteelSeries, if you wanna hook your boy up just send us a tweet! As always feel free to tweet comments […]

Episode 88. October 12th, 2017. The discussion leads off with a tangent (NO SURPRISE) but quickly gets back on track to talk about the updated PSVR that’ll be launching in Japan and then making its way to the States thereafter. The major takeaway is the ability to use HDR without having to disconnect the PSVR […]

Episode 87. September 25th, 2017. Interview time! This episode features William Collis, one of the co-founders of Gamer Sensei. It’s an e-Sports coaching platform that allows players to connect with coaches for the particular game they are trying to develop or perfect their skills on. Games like Overwatch, CS:GO, DOTA, League, and several others, and […]

If you like twin stick shooters, you’ll like this game. If you like challenges, you’ll like this game. If you enjoy games that push you to the brink of disaster but gives you a sliver of a chance of making it out alive, you’ll love this game. A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher is just that […]

Episode 86. August 20th, 2017. Another Sunday Sunday Sunday and we re-connect the Disconnected Gamers for another podcast about gaming and life. First up on the discussion block is the alleged PSN Hack that occurred today in which tweets were sent out and posts were made on the Facebook page saying that a hacker group […]

Episode 85. June 26th, 2017. It’s a long time coming since we last did a podcast. Just about 2 months basically, and we’re sorry. We spend the first bit of time talking catch-up about work and life, and why we’re having trouble with maintaining a consistent schedule. Andrew talks about his internal struggle about streaming […]

Episode 84. April 16th, 2017. Heyo! Andrew and Mike convene for a not so exciting and special Easter edition of the Disconnected Gamers Podcast. Or for most people, a Sunday. We talk about Atlus and their strict policies on streaming Persona 5, something we briefly discussed the week prior regarding Nintendo and their handling of […]

Episode 83. April 2nd, 2017. We’ve got our first returning guest of the podcast, The Hug of War. He joins us again to discuss Mass Effect, since Andrew doesn’t play it at all which doesn’t help Mike. The two discuss the game’s pros and cons, things they liked and didn’t like, etc. The discussion evolves […]

Episode 82. March 20th, 2017. This episode is a bit all over the place in terms of topic, but we think it’s worth the listen. Starting off the episode is Andrew talking about the PAX East experience, things he saw, panels he moderated, etc. Seeing old friends, new friends, and generally having a good time. […]

Episode 81. February 28th, 2017. Mike and Andrew spend this episode talking about games for the majority of it (yay!) and shift around a bit with retro gaming and collections of gaming (eBay collectors beware!). Ultimately Andrew’s difficulty of having a gaming collection is how do you show it off, or even begin to decide […]

Episode 80. January 25th, 2017. Ahoy! So this podcast is mostly about new stuff, with some revisiting of old stuff. We talk about new games we’ve been playing, specifically Gravity Rush 2, Resident Evil 7, and Yakuza 0. If you’re on the market for some new game material than I would listen in if any […]

Episode 79. January 8th, 2017. Our first podcast in a few weeks, and the first of 2017. We’re thrilled to be back and now that Andrew has a headset that works and we can record again, we’re going to try and get back on track with everything. I know it sounds like a promise falling […]

Episode 78. December 8th, 2016. Mike and Andrew discuss the events of PlayStation Experience, which Andrew attended the week before. This episode runs a bit longer than we’d like to go with our new format, but we figured Andrew does like to talk a lot, so we let him off his leash a bit. We […]

Episode 77. November 20th, 2016. We successfully managed to not only record two podcasts in one month, but actually post it the same day we recorded one of them! Woohoo! That said, Mike and Andrew discuss the spoils of Black Friday, and the downfalls of the new Nintendo 3DS not including a charger. Some of […]

Episode 76. November 9th, 2016. Mike and Andrew reconvene to discuss video game consoles, well specifically the PlayStation 4 Pro and the PSVR Headset. Also we have been off the grid for a bit with regards to the podcast, and will be changing up the game plan for future podcasts. Instead of lengthier podcasts, we’re […]

Episode 75. September 20th, 2016. We’re alive! Sorry we’ve been so poorly communicative of things lately. With the new job and some other side projects that took some priority in life, Andrew’s gaming has been disheveled. That said, we’re back and we’re talking about life and things at PAX (skip ahead like 15 minutes or […]

Episode 74. August 16th, 2016. Mike and Andrew chat about the events unfolding for Pre-PAX West excitement and also post-Kansas City Comic Con excitement (in reverse order though). Andrew will be moderating TWO panels this time around at PAX West and it’s sure to be a really awesome time. Panel 1: Destiny on Twitch: Why […]

Episode 73. July 28th, 2016. Mike and Andrew once again join forces to discuss the most important things of the century…perhaps the entire world! Well, no, probably not that important. We talk about the new games we’ve been playing, as well as this current month’s PS Plus offerings and Games with Gold, as well as […]

Episode 72. July 9th, 2016. Theo the Community Manager from Leaping Tiger joins us on the podcast and we talk about their gaming connection app Leaping Tiger. They’re a great bunch of people from New Zealand making an awesome app for people and you should all take advantage of it.  Theo also happens to be […]

Episode 71. June 27th, 2016. It’s been nearly a month since the last episode and we’ve been busy with a lot of stuff going on that’s been causing scheduling issues for recording the podcast. Fear not, we’re working on getting back to a decent schedule and setting things up for the future episodes and content. […]

Episode 70. May 29th, 2016. We talk about the reports of the new Xbox One, code-named “Scorpio” but also being touted as Xbox One-Two. Interestingly enough, theres going to be a new, more powerful Xbox One, but then an Xbox One Slim that’s equally as powerful as the current model. We also talk about the […]

Episode 69. May 18th, 2016. Our Uncharted 4 post game completion (aside from Mike not having actually finished it but knows what happened) discussion. We talk about what we liked, what we didn’t, etc. Story aspects that could be better, characters/villains we loved and hated, all that good stuff. Also, we may be changing up […]

Episode 67. May 3rd, 2016. Andrew recaps his experience at PAX East. Talks about all the games and people seen and met and high fived and stuff. It was rad. Also feel free to give us a review via iTunes podcast app cause we’d appreciate it, though we really do think we’re worth 2-stars easy.  […]
