Show notes

Breakdown:

In a pre-show extravaganza for our crazy ExtraLife stream, Alex, Scott, Tony and Nabeshin are joined by an onslaught of guests who flew across the country to talk and play video games.
We spend over two hours discussing the games we've played, the games we're going to play, and having a grand old time!
It's still not too late to donate, so go to http://IrrationalPassions.com/ExtraLife to do so!
Warning: there ARE some weird audio issues. Apologies for this!

IP301: The Long Night is Over... Nov 02, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

In a post-300 world, we ask ourselves: where does Irrational Passions go from here? We kick things off with thank-yous, shoutouts, and answering that question.
There is a new Alex Talks! ExtraLife is this weekend! Stay tuned for a bunch of important info!
In games we talk about Zero Time, and how it changed Nabeshin. Tony catches us up with Destiny. Gears of War happened, Batman happened, and Scott jumps in to throw a wrench in The Last of Us.
In news we speculate on more Switch news, get an idea of what we want, and talk about Bethesda’s “war on reviews”.
We have a very... interesting Mailsack segment, and we take a deep dive into “Kingdom Hearts”... Sigh.
Oh and we close things out without Bets, but with a fun little game.
Thanks for listening! See you this weekend for ExtraLife!

IP300: Yeah, We Dem Boiz Oct 25, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

We celebrate our podcast in the only way we know how: a crazy, bombcastic live show full of call-ins, shenanigans, and “dem boiz”.
We kick things off with the BRAND NEW News in Gaming theme, and talk about the NX reveal, as well as why Red Dead Redemption 2 is all the hype.
Amidsts some call ins, we catch up with games, discuss getting lost in the Mansion in Resident Evil, more VLR, some tension with Destiny, and Scott’s distaste for a bad, bad game.
After our break, Brandt Ranj makes us question our love of JRPGs, which apparently all of us really like, and we take more calls.
We go through all of your favorite IP Memories, reconcile our differences, and get emotional.
Jarrett, SilverPR, and Danny Juarez round out the show with an emotional reminder that hey: we love everyone who listens, and you’re all cool with us.
Thank you so much for listening. Play your games, stay irrational... <3

This week we’re joined by Blessing from OKBeast to get real with Forza and #TeamBless.
We have a ton to catch up on, but most importantly: new Alex Talks! It’s out, so go watch it.
We talk about Froza Horizon 3 and how dope it is, see what’s new in Overwatch, discuss more Zero Time Business. Oh and Gears of War 4 is awesome! And Destiny is awesome too I guess.
In news we break into a huge discussion based on Amy Hennig’s recent interview on Idle Thumbs.

We touch base on PS4 Pro and compatible games, and more and more delays.

IP297: Carkour Oct 05, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

We have special guest Shaun Donahue from Comics and Joysticks on this week’s show for fun times, hostile takeovers, and DESTINY!
We talk about how amazing our listeners are, Alex Talks, and housekeeping to kick things off. THANK YOU ALL.
In games we actually have some talks of Forza Horizon 3, some Destiny catch ups, an update on Virtue’s Last Reward, some Bioshock Remaster stuff, and probably World of Warcraft.
In news we talk about Ubisoft and Vivendi’s approach. Oh and some Beyond Good and Evil BS. And maybe some PSX excitement behind Destiny 2 rumors?
We have some fun tweets to go through and a triumphant return in the VOICEMAILS!
That’s the show, we do some BETS and throw it out.

IP296: Harambe—Agent of Chaos Sep 28, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

This week we break open the original content that is “the meme box” and invite Steven Santana on just for funsies.
We have so many games! We get back into Destiny, but before that, a WoW update, a cool thing about Virtue’s Last Reward, some talk of ReCore again, finishing Deus Ex, and some indies on the rise.
We only have one story to talk about in news, but really, it’s a pass. More bad news about Oculus and the state of memes.
Questions this week have us guessing our allegiance to Kingdom Hearts and thinking about PSX.
We talk about Kingdom Hearts again.
Anime Podcast joke.
That’s the show! Thanks for listening <3

IP295: Rough and Ruff Rough Boys Sep 21, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

This week the usual crew gets dropped off for a fun reunion of writing talents from IrrationalPassions.com. Jacob Bryant and Jarrett Green make a triumphant return while up-and-coming Logan Wilkinson sits down with Alex for an IP to remember.
In games we have that long hard talk about final fantasy movies, most specifically Kingsglaive. It’s bad. But sooooo good.
We also Deus Ex and go into ReCore with some PS2 flavor on top. Jarrett also touches in on Honor and indies.
We break into some discussion topics: game delays, empathy, what we’re writing, and where we were three years ago.
In the mailsack we play a game, take some tweets, and talk about writing challenges... and wrestling, I guess.
That’s the show! Let’s take some bets.

Show notes

Download:

iTunes Feed — RSS Feed — MP3 Direct Download

Breakdown:

This week we get into the PS4 Pro, discuss regrets, and something about cats.
In games we see why Scott got into WoW, break down what works and what doesn’t in Deus Ex Mankind Divided, and learn about 999 and how super good it is!
News is flooded, and we have to recap PS4 Pro and all the disappointments. We haven’t gotten to TGS yet, so instead we talk about Apple, Super Mario Run, Xbox Sales, and Mod Support.
We don’t have many questions this week, but we still love you all <3
That’s the whole show! Thanks for listening!

IP293: Thrash Doom Death Black Progressive Viking Heavy Metal Music Sep 07, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

*Fair warning*: we used our backup audio this week, so if it doesn’t sound quite as crisp and clean as you’re used to, that’s why.
We get the cast and crew together for a guest-free lowkey show. Prepare yourselves!
We take a look back at Furi and Deus Ex, Scott finishes Dark Souls 3, Nabeshin plays a bunch of games and Tony... Well, he’s playing WoW again.
In news this week we hit delays, think about Playstation’s upcoming event, and think about Nintendo 3DS as well.
We have tons of questions to sift through so we spend the majority of the show chilling and talking to you guys.
Let’s close the show out with BETS.
