Stay ConnectedConstantly Calibrating is a weekly topical podcast that focuses on the wide world of nerd/geek culture; Delving into both recent news stories, as well as discussions, debates and interviews related to what’s happening in our assorted fields (Gaming/Tech/Life).
A little bit of things, a fair amount of words, and a whole lot of stuff!
This week, Josh was still spending time with this thing he calls 'actual family’, so the rest of the guys decided to launch into a preemptive talk on platformers before their interview with Yacht Club Gaming in 2 weeks!
The focus was on the evolution of the platforming genre over the years, and the progression of its traits, as well as stylistic choices over the years. Brad and Justin argued over whether Battletoads counted as a platformer, and Brian brought up StarTropics yet again (he’s starting to sound like Justin with Metal Gear). They all take a deeper look at the current state of platformers and their ability to blend and work with other play styles and stories, and remarked how the independent sector of gaming has really pushed this genre forward.
What is your favorite platformer? What makes it your favorite?

This week, The crew grabs their Pip-Boys and yarn-based companions and embark upon the biggest gaming event of the year, E3 2015!
They discuss whether Nintendo really has to care about these kind of conferences (they don't) and whether Square Enix is still relevant (they aren’t). Brian and Justin get indignant about Xbox backwards compatibility and what should and shouldn't have been offered on day one, and goddamit, everyone keeps taking Josh’s topics!

This week, Brad skips out on the show as the rest of the guys make their predictions for E3 2015!
Josh, Justin, and Brian dig deep as they predict their hopes and dreams that may or may not come true (“All” we are asking for is a new Mass Effect title, and maybe some Mirror’s Edge).
Will Kojima be trotted out on stage?
Will Nintendo unveil its next console?
Will we have somebody representing ConCal at E3?

This week, ConCal goes to Comicon!
The guys talk about their experiences at conventions over the years, good and bad, and try and come to a consensus of what a concretely calibrated convention would look like.
Josh and Brian also talk about their time at Phoenix Comicon, and Justin may or may not still be playing Witcher 3. We should probably go check on him...

This week the guys are back at it again, playing and talking about those silly handheld games.
No. Not the Vita (shut up Justin).
No. Not the DS (shut up Brad and Josh).
Brian. Just put the PSP away.
The crew talks about their selection of mobile games and what drives them to play or not play. They also get into a great discussion on the demonization of mobile gaming by the gaming community. So strap in for more fun than a stack of candy, angry aviaries, or Russian building blocks!

This week, Brad leads Justin and Brian along in a rousing discussion of our favorite and not-so-favorite video game music.

This week the gang is back together, and they are out for revenge!
Not really, but they are out to find out what parenting styles work for them in the eventuality that they all have spawn at one point or another. Along the way they generate more ideas for the reboot of Guitar Hero, ruminate on Grand Theft Auto V on the PC, and OH GOD WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH GORO’S ARMS?!?
