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!
2017 is coming to an end, which means it's time for the Constantly Calibrating Awards Show Spectacular. This episode features our Game of the Year, Film of the Year, Gaming Experience of the Year, and Gaming Blunder of the Year. Join hosts Brad, Josh, & Justin alongside Constantly Calibrating Featured Personality Superblake as they pick their best experiences of 2017.
Also listen as Brad and Blake fight extensively about Nintendo's place on many of our lists.
And now for something we think you'll really enjoy.
Recently Brad, Justin, & Ryan all had to call out on a podcast appearance. Left with no option except to cancel another Constantly Calibrating Podcast, Josh reached out to Mr. Casting for Two himself, Chris Hernandez. Josh and Chris had been chatting for the previous few weeks about launching a duo podcast, so why not run a tester and see what happens.
What ended up happening was magic, the kind you find in a jar. Perhaps a jar of jam. Maybe even...a Ramble Jam!
Brad is away at Disneyland, which means it's time for Josh, Justin, & Ryan to explore the wide world of Black Friday 2017. The trio talks what they bought, wish they bought, and regret buying, while also digging into Thanksgiving memories.
Oh, and did we mention that there was some planning for our award show, happening later in December? Yeah, that happened too, alongside Ryan hosting his very first podcast.
It's the most wonderful time of the year...to be a Blizzard fan. That's right, Blizzcon 2017 has come and gone and our team is talking all about the big reveals:
Oh, and some of the controversy around Battlefront 2 & maybe some quick thoughts on Thor Ragnarok and/or Justice League.
Brad and Josh had the time of their life chatting with Dean Razavi, creator of Vidar & the upcoming From Rust TCG. Our duo and guest explored what led to the creation of Vidar, the game development scene in New York City, building a community, and the world of modern indie game development.
Due to an exhausted Josh after a few weeks of family deaths & a sick Ryan, Brad & Justin are reduced to a duo cast this week. Join them as they explore the recent news out of Paris Games Week & hype up our upcoming Extra Life event alongside Stream Arizona.
Josh had a lovely time at TwitchCon 2017, in that he finally got to enjoy a convention for himself, while still working. The rest of the team is here to talk about games as a service, continuing last week's conversation about loot boxes.
Things are heating up, so stick around.
Let's keep this week's description simple, as our writer, Josh, hasn't slept in a few days & just got to TwitchCon. This week's episode features Brad, Josh, Justin, and Constantly Calibrating Featured Personality Blake, and it's a good one. (Of course it is with Superblake on the show!)
Sometimes having a last minute guest cancellation works to one's advantage. With Rockstar Games dropping a trailer for next year's Red Dead Redemption II, the team decided to do a bit of trailer analysis, meets wishful thinking. Oh, and there was also some talk of this new thing called an SNES Classic. Not to mention a look at Nintendo 64's anniversary, which completely derailed into talks of a potential N64 Classic or Gameboy Classic.
Yeah, it's a pretty Nintendo heavy show, but with some cowboys, because what's not to like there?
The nature of gaming and game purchasing is changing. There are many factors to this, but one is that there are just too many titles available, but not enough time to play or know what you like. This, in part, is where Dropleaf comes in: Dropleaf is a subscription program giving you unlimited access to a growing library of indie PC games. Their software will also learn your habits and interests through time played, giving you a better recommendation list for the future. Frankly, it's pretty fantastic, which is why Josh & Brad had a chat with Vikram Rangraj, CEO of Dropleaf.
Even if indie gaming isn't your thing, you can't go wrong with this episode, as it's one of our most entertaining yet. From discussing of the indie gaming marketplace, to Josh's odd health issues, to a look at the wonders that is Mortal Kombat X's inclusivity...no, seriously, you'll find plenty to listen to and enjoy.
