About Semi-Occasional Gaming

Just an Australian gaming podcast that covers anything from retro to modern gaming. A recent refresh from Ep 5 onwards (Sep 2023) will cover different topics and I'll be joined by a new guest each week. Game hunting in Tokyo, videogame music, salvaging CRTs, arcade ports...anything goes! Older episodes (1-4) were focused on specific games and in-depth discussions. If you get a semi for gaming, then look no further.

Ethics in Modern Gaming

In a slight change of pace this episode, my wife and I discuss some heavy topics of gaming in the modern landscape. Video game violence, parenting and gaming, representation, and the phallic undertones of giant swords.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
