Hey Poor Podcast Episode 123: The Hey Poor Player PAX East Experience

It’s like a series of System Shock-esque audio logs from PAX. This isn’t your usual Hey Poor Podcast. This week, we sent occasional investigative reporter and Hey Poor Podcast regular Jay Petrequin to the PAX East show floor, where he spent four days playing games until he wanted to die. His only communication with the outside world (besides, like, Twitter and Facebook and Skype and his phone and stuff) was a series of fascinating audio logs, which we have edited together into a podcast-like configuration suitable for your ears and home. Here you’ll find discussions of every game that mattered, interviews with the developers of some of the most exciting upcoming indie titles, tales of Shake Shack, and more! (This episode also features Derek McCurry,…Read More... [https://www.heypoorplayer.com/2018/04/11/hey-poor-podcast-episode-123-hey-poor-player-pax-east-experience/]

Hey Poor Podcast Episode 122: Sy Snootles Settles It In Smash

“It Ain’t The Sharpest Cast In The Pod” This week’s Hey Poor Podcast sees the old crew of I “Steamed Hams Inc.” Coleman, Jay “Sister Confession” Petrequin, and Nathaniel “Nico Naked Nathan” Terencio reunited for the first time in 2018. And not a moment too soon, either – from Battlefront II to Shadow of the Colossus to the never-ending parade of cool Switch ports, there’s lots of games to talk about. Plus: I Coleman can’t find anything bad to say about They Are Billions, Nathan rates the attractiveness of every single Smash Bros. character (#1 may surprise you), Jay tries to analyze the fall of the Marvel Netflix shows, and the POTUS made a half-assed attempt at regulating videogame violence. Oh, and there’s an extended discussion…Read More... [https://www.heypoorplayer.com/2018/03/21/hey-poor-podcast-episode-122-sy-snootles-settles-smash/]

Hey Poor Podcast Episode 121: Black Panther, Though

“Some people are a waste of perfectly good carbon.” This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, I “Incredibly Sick” Coleman tries unsuccessfully to hide the fact that he’s sick, Nathan “No Ding Dong Talk” Terencio misses the good ol’ days of tag team fighting games, and Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is perhaps the most disappointing HD remake of all time. Oh, also: the ESRB made it clear that it has no interest in dealing with the loot box gambling issue, and President Game Show Host thinks mass shootings are caused by unregulated access to videogames. Oh well. At least Black Panther was awesome. (Note: there’s no way we could discuss the major news of the last week without getting political, so skip the news…Read More...

Hey Poor Podcast Episode 120: The 25 Best Games Of 2017

The games that made us happy in a year full of sad On this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, we assemble an all-star cast of Hey Poor Player contributors to count down our official ranking of the 25 best games of the year. Host I “RUINER” Coleman is joined by Jay “Pyre” Petrequin, Nathaniel “Rakuen” Terencio, Jonathan “Uncharted: Lost Legacy” Trussler, and Dougie “Dream Daddy” Powell to discuss the games that made us laugh, the games that made us cry, the games that did something truly unique, and the tried-and-true games that just did what they did with style and excellence. Strap in, folks, because we’ve got two and a half hours of lively discussion. We’ve got a diverse list of games and…Read More...

Hey Poor Podcast Episode 119: Rudolph’s Cornucopia Of Madness

“I love that heartwarming family special about ripping all the teeth straight out of a dude’s head.” This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, we talk about Last Jedi spoilers. Seriously. This is not a joke or a bit – we spoil the whole dang movie. Still, that’s no reason not to curl up by the fire with a glass of nog or nog substitute and listen to I “Snow Miser” Coleman and Jay “Heat Miser” Petrequin discuss why Star Wars‘ eighth episode is easily one of the best movies of the year, extol the merits of DOOM‘s Switch port (now that Bethesda’s bothered to fix some of the more glaring issues), catch up on some of the year’s best games, movies, books, and music;…Read More...
