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!
On this week's show Brad & Josh sit down with Matthew Austin, creator of The King's Guild to discuss the pits & perils of a Kickstarter campaign, making a comeback, and explore the world of tabletop game design. There's also plenty of talk about the incredibly successful campaign for The King's Guild, which as of completion has raised over $80k.
It's a short episode, so strap in and relax. And for you video users, our sincere apologies on the video quality this week. Both our primary and backup video was corrupted severely, leading to major desyncing issues. Listening to it instead of watching may be in everyone's best interests.

Give it a watch or listen, you may learn something*.
* You will likely not learn anything, nor do we endorse the possibility of anyone learning anything from our show.
Dear listener: Has it really been one, five, ten, or fifteen years since we last attended PAX West? If not, please disregard this and get back to work. Distribute token of appreciation and applaud.
That's right, it's PAX West 2017 time! Woo! Let's celebrate the fun-filled show while half the United States is underwater (imminently or actually) and the other half is on fire! *cough* OK, so it's a bit of a massive downer week, but we still have an awesome show for you, featuring our original duo of Josh & Brad going over the sights, sounds, and smells of PAX West 2017.
If you're here for thoughts on panels, then good, we have some of those. How about some games talk? We definitely have that! Want to hear Josh discover a new love affair with cooking-based gaming? No, none of us wanted that, but it's here anyways!
Please consider this our week one PAX West 2017 discussion, as we'll touch base on a few more titles next week. Make sure you also check out our entire PAX West 2017 catalog of videos, which will be slowly releasing throughout the weekend. Or we'll release in one large chunk, cause the world is ending anyways.
Too much doom?
"To Las Vegas!" Josh shouted this as he and Justin went off into the wilderness of the Arizona desert; their destination an oddly small gaming convention: The GameStop Expo 2017. Their path laid out before them, they explored a wonderland of E3-like magnificence from the ever-so slightly chilly Sands Expo Hall at the Venetian. The games they played were numerous, as were the Greg Miller-based hugs.
Join us for this week's Constantly Calibrating as we welcome back Ryan, while delving into Josh & Justin's GameStop Expo 2017 path of awesomeness. If you're looking for thoughts on Super Mario Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Origins, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, or even BIOMUTANT, then you've come to the right place!
Their may also be some preemptive Destiny 2 beta thoughts buried within, as well as recriminations over choices while streaming from the show floor.
This is a solemn week at the old Constantly Calibrating Factory, as the previous weekend we received word that Mass Effect was done for. The long-running series, soon to be celebrating a decade, was put out to pasture by Electronic Arts last weekend. This hit the team very hard, as Mass Effect is a large portion of why our company exists. On top of that, we really, really love Mass Effect Andromeda.
So join us in bidding farewell to a great video game series.
You know, even though it's not really dead and just being shelved for the time being...
On this week's show we're joined by Superblake to discuss the possible end of Mass Effect & definite end of Mass Effect Andromeda. There's some startling revelations, theories, and random shouting.
Additionally, Amazon is changing policies; Fortnite is "fun"; Destiny 2 is on the horizon; and Josh took his clothes off on camera...wait, what? What's going on here now?
Listen to this week's episode and find out!
Another week, another podcast; this week we brought back Cutwright to talk about our experiences at GameOn Expo 2017! Cutwright, and Stream Arizona, invited Constantly Calibrating to work with them at the event, and it was one awesome experience. Join our team and guest as they go into the experience that was GameOn Expo 2017.
From there this heroic team-up explores whether Fortnite is still a viable game three weeks after its early access release. And from there it's onto the main topic, where with the releases of Sonic Mania and StarCraft Remastered our team posed a question: What classic game would you love to see rebooted, remastered, or simply brought back in some capacity.
Our answers will probably not surprise you, but we did get some fun audience feedback, so make sure to join in.
Thanks for watching and listening; make sure you come back each week when we're live on Twitch, and Twitch.TV/ConstantlyCalibrating!
How does one encapsulate an entire podcast, especially after a two week hiatus? Usually a description is a good place to start, so let's see what we have here.
On this week's episode, we have Brad, Josh, and Justin reviewing & spoiling the most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe outing: Spider-Man Homecoming. Yes, to be clear, there are fairly heavy spoilers for the film and the franchise's future here, so be warned. This talk is preceded by talks of where we've been the last few weeks, and is followed by where we're going in the coming weeks.
There's also discussion about the latest Middle Earth: Shadow of War controversy, leading into an exploration of what games need a Nemesis system. Ramble tirades and genius ideas are sure to follow.
Also, are Walt Disney and Andrew Ryan the same person?
A whole lotta stuff on this week's episode, so stick around.
A wave of bees and a quest to become a thunder god, that's what waylaid two hosts of the Constantly Calibrating Podcast this week. Never fear, for Josh & Justin stepped up to put on a duo show the likes of which we've never seen. Join our team as they haphazardly dive into San Diego Comic Con 2017 (SDCC 2017) and the news held within.
From well made posters to brilliant trailers for Justice League and Thor Ragnarok, our team had many opinions. They also slip and slide around some Spider-Man Homecoming discussions, leading up to next week's quasi-review on the podcast.
So come along and join us on this adventure, and also check out some of the cool tech and gadgetry stuff Josh is using now.
That and more on this week's Constantly Calibrating Podcast!
As 2017 reaches its mid-point our team parts ways, for RTX Austin is upon us. Yes, RTX Austin, that event with which we consider home -- despite no one living anywhere near Texas -- is here again. Join our team as they discuss some loose plans for the event. Additionally, hear stories from Brad who once again can't join the rest of the crew, for he is taking his family to Disney World. That, plus an assortment of news, theories, discussions, and condemnation of Josh for missing the show.
Also, we will be off next week, as our team will still be en route home from RTX Austin during our normal stream/recording time. Maybe when we get back Josh will finally be able to discuss being manhandled by a Water Elemental.
Once, long ago, our team of hosts had an experience that nearly changed the very nature of their existence: They interviewed Chris Avellone. Without much in the way of hyperbole, our team was revitalized through a 40 minute interview that turned into a near 2-hour podcasting experience. Chris Avellone, a writing legend of modern times and Josh's youth, has once again returned to impart wisdom and knowledge.
The whole group also makes a large amount of dick & fart jokes, and Chris helps promote the upcoming Pathfinder: Kingsmaker. It's a Constantly Calibrating Podcast show, let's not think too high or mighty of ourselves.
If you liked the episode, let us know in whatever comments you see fit, or with a review maybe? Same goes for if you hated the entire experience. Furthermore, only you can help us convince Chris to come back to complete the trilogy of discussions. Or perhaps to take Josh on as apprentice or DM a D&D show for us. *cough*
