S1E1 - Indie Games and the Value of Video Games and Media - "We Have No Idea What We're Doing Yet"

The Geek to Geek Podcast is co-hosted by Beej (@professorbeej)
and Void (@grnmushroom), two life-long geeks who have managed to
bring their geekery with them into adulthood and still be
somewhat functional adults. They love games of all kinds, books,
movies, TV, and pretty much everything else, and they want to
talk about it all. With you.


 


In this episode:


 


The guys discuss the subjective value of video games and
media.



Why is it that some games last 4 hours and cost $60, but
you love them, but other games that are just as fun and last
dozens hours, but don’t seem even worth $10 on sale?

The value of Indie games vs. mainstream triple-A titles,
and how Steam sales and Gamestop trade-in values affect our
buying habits.

MMO subscription prices and free-to-play cash shops,
older games, trusted creators, and much, much more.



Beej discusses a quick and easy health hack that all you guys
and gals can do each and every time you stand up.

Void and Beej give their Weekly Geekery recommendations about
what they’ve been geeking out on all week long.

just immerse yourself in a couple of the best gaming worlds
to grace a screen in ages, you owe it to yourself to grab
either (or both!) of these titles as soon as possible.
