Looter Shooter Show with Boom

Podcast #2 Introduction If you are hoarding toilet paper, don’t forget the condoms!  Welcome to the Looter Shooter show I am boom.  Locking adults up with nothing to do for weeks, is the leading cause of children.  So stay safe out there! Welcome to the show.  Before we start I wanted to mention a quick way that as a gamer you can help not only with the Corona Virus, but fight other diseases as well.  Foldingathome.org is a group that uses networked computing power to solve complex protein folding and drug simulation work.  Currently they are working on a wave of projects that simulate potentially druggable protein targets.  This will help understand how coronaviruses interact with human receptors and how they can maybe stop this from happening.  They are also working on cancer projects, alzheimers, huntingtons and parkinsons.  Here is how it works. You download a small app from foldingathome.org.  You go through a quick set up procedure and you will hear your GPU fire up and start working.  You can set how strong you would like it to run.  Right now while I am recording the show my excess GPU cycles are being put to good use.  If you have a computer that sits idle all day, I encourage you to fire that bad boy up and contribute.  If you are not playing the latest looter shooter, put your computer to work after you are done.  It is for a really good cause.  How you can reach out and participate on the show: 702-625-1337 Mixer – Boomtaplive @boomtaplive Twitter Stopstandinginfire.com/boom Xbox Live Handle boomtaplive Clutch.win/boomtaplive We are now live on all the major podcast platforms.  So go have a listen.  I am super thankful for the amount of people that supported the first show.  It felt awesome to launch with such a following.  Big thanks to all of you listeners.  Topic of the Day  Cornoa Virus and the outbreak of Green Poison from the Division Game I was going to talk about this but I am not.  I watched the opening videos for Division 1 and it hit a little too close to home.  I know that the Corona Virus is not the same as small pox ect…  But still, right now the world needs games to be an escape from what is going on.  And also a way to help you cope.  The Lydians used the game of knucklebones which is like dice game to get through 18 years of famine.  One day people would eat, and then next they would play games to take their minds off of the current situation which was out of their control.  The bottom line is much of this Corona Virus scare is out of your control.  What you can control is your exposure to the high risk groups.  So stay home, play some games and help your elderly neighbors get supplies without needing to be exposed to the virus.  What I have been playing. Call of Duty War Zone 50 squads of three, battle royale style, very beautiful map and game.  I posted some clutch videos of me playing you can check those out if you want a good look at how the game is.  I have been hoping in and playing a bunch of Call of Duty War Zone.  They really are on to something that is going to have legs.  Steep and punishing learning curve – I watched some top streamers this week getting owned at the start.  It takes a while to figure it out so stick with it. The gulag is hilarious.  You just punch people until you get into the arena. It doesn’t feel like it belongs in the game though.  I think the game would be better without it.  It just feels out of place to me.  Loot System is great, gameplay is of course wonderful.  It is so much more chaotic than something like Fortnite I think because of the audio.  You hear literally everything that is going on around you. I was with my group and we were on mice (mics are

Looter Shooter Podcast Episode 1 Welcome Introduction Welcome. I hope you have plenty of toilet paper.  The cornoa viris is coming and it is interesting because Division is one of my all time favorite games and it is a little close to home.

Definitely one of my favorite new places for gaming fun. Podcast covers looter shooters.  News and commentary on all things looter shooter. Wanted to take a minute and talk about why I love this genre.  I was a big MMO player and eventually I started having less and less time for those games.  Also those games that were more tab targeting and a little slower pace became faster pace and MMO’s have a weird way about them where the faster they get the game play isn’t as strong in my option.  I think of Black Desert Online and Blessed online and of course they are fine games, but not really my cup of tea compared to Warcraft Classic that to be honest I have already done and don’t exactly have the time for these days. Recently this translated into my enjoyment of the genre looter shooter which really is a shooter with a little bit of the MMO stuff I enjoy sprinkled in.  For this cast, I am really talking about and giving news on shoorters that have elements of progression, loot systems and other ideas that make them appealing to me.  There might be some disagreements on what qualifies, but I don’t really give into that all that much, I just want to talk about games that bring that level of single player and co-op gameplay that itches my nitches and that is what I am planning on doing.  This will be a quick podcast some times, slower others as we talk about what is new and what is up and coming in the world of looter shooters and since this is the first time I have solo coasted (all of my other podcasts have been with other people), your participation in the podcast is essential to making a great show.  So call in, write in, tweet ect.  And we will discuss what you add to the show each time it comes out.  If you enjoy what you hear simply support the show by following, participating and listening.  If you have a story, comment or something that you would like to have mentioned on the show, use the links in the show notes to make it happen. So lets get to it.  I have 6 great looter shooters to talk about today. TIME FOR THE NEWS Borderlands I bought Borderlands for one of my friends birthdays last week.  I wouldn’t let him play.
