LGBTQ Representation in Gaming - Ep. 245 Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

Dear listeners, welcome to our newest episode! We sat down with our special guest and friend, Ivan, to discuss LGBTQ representation in gaming and gaming culture. We asked him some questions to get a deeper understanding and perspective this multi-faceted issue. Is there enough representation in gaming? Is there a specific way gaming journalists should talk about LGBTQ in gaming? What can you do when you haven’t been as inclusive in the past and are feeling guilty for your mistakes? All of these questions and more are discussed in this delightful episode. And if that’s not enough, we also discussed Chicory, Roguebook, Phantom Abyss, and Biomutant. We also revealed the results of the social media polls, and we rounded up the show with our monthly Patreon shout-outs. Thank you for checking out the show, and enjoy!

Oppressing Need - Ep. 244 Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

Whoa Nellie! On this week’s episode of the Chompcast, we went over E3: most of the showcases, many of the games, and our personal feelings and excitement regarding the announcements. We decided that it wasn’t enough as we discussed the games we played the past week, which included Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and Island of Minutes. You would think that we wrapped up the show there, right? WRONG! We also discussed the results of this week’s gaming polls. We hope that you enjoyed E3 as much as we did! Happy gaming and catch you next week for a very special episode.

The topic of the week was, “What makes a voice acting performance in gaming great?” While we are all long-time fans of the gaming medium, we needed a bit of expert help to truly answer the question.

Join us as we parse out the make-up of a stellar performance backed by some of our favorite performances in gaming!
