    Holey Diver - Ep. 81 Mar 06, 2018
    Show notes

    Morgan and Fish bust out of their tree cabin, hopping to the earthly jungle floor. The sounds of birds squawking ring through the leafy giants, as the smell of fruit permeates the air. Bananas are not hanging from the trees or vines, but instead floating in midair. This perplexes the two, not understanding how yellow fruit could be suspended in the air.

    “I don’t understand physics,” Morgan admits to Fish.
    “You don’t understand much of anything,” Fish retorts through a stifled laugh.

    Morgan slaps him in the back of the head, then begins to run through the jungle on all fours, fists clinched and landing on the ground in repetition with his feet. Fish fixes his red hat on his head and follows closely behind. Jumping into the bananas, they begin to collect the delicious fruit. It is unsure at this time where the bananas are stored, but that’s not a part of the story. Morgan and Fish leap onto a raised platform when they run into a crocodile pacing back and forth on its hind legs nefariously. The two panic and hop off of the platform. They look up and see a floating K medal above the middle of the platform.

    “Seriously, what the hell is up with this jungle?” Morgan quizzically offers to Fish. Fish scoffs, and stares at the medal. Concocting a plan, Fish takes a banana out of his pocket and throws it at the medal, hoping it will fall down to hit the crocodile. Nothing happens. Fish takes another banana out of his (endless???) pocket and throws it at the crocodile. It hits the crocodile, which seems unfazed by the long, sweet fruit bouncing off of its exterior.

    “Quit monkeying around!” Morgan yells at Fish. Fish rolls his eyes harder than the rotation of the round earth (the earth is round people; come on!!!).

    This week, there was a surplus of subjects to discuss as Shea and Morgan discuss their short time thus far with Kingdom Come Deliverance. As a result of their time with it, it prompted this week’s gaming topic: glitches in video games and how they have impacted us, for better or worse. Morgan finally was able to convince Fish to spend some time playing Donkey Kong Country for his first time ever. Yeah. “How?” is what we thought as well. This week’s Bio Break article was arguably our most contentious, yet informative, as we discussed scientists creating a digital and model version of an existing sea slug. Lastly, we reflect on some polls off of social media and an email sent in from our listener!


    Gene Sequence - Ep. 80 Feb 27, 2018
    Show notes

    There was a feeling of macabre this week as we came face to face with our own mortality... but not in a literal sense. We looked within the depths of our souls and asked the ultimate question: how do we feel about death? What is death? Why does it occur the way it does? Are we pleased with how people die?

    Of course, we didn't mean real humans, but rather video game deaths! Celeste was the main game we all played this week, discussing Madeline's summit to the top of a mountain as she wrangles with her own debilitating mental faculties. Within that context, we decided to focus on the concept on death in video games, and how it is explored mechanically-speaking. We drew upon many influences in the video gaming world, as we all had different facets of death to explore and explain. From there, we spent time discussing a few social media polls, a weird and ludicrous interview, a Bio Break involving real-life chimeras, and some random video game adventures amongst the crew. Be prepared to ask yourself at the end of the episode, "How do I feel about death?" In a video game only, of course.


    Cuddle Fish - Ep. 79 Feb 20, 2018

    A building stands tall, defiant of its ancient red bricks beginning to crumble under the stress of weather. It stands three stories high, with columns and rows of windows littered on the walls. The window at the bottom right is cracked in multiple places, but manages to stay attached to its wooden frame. The stone staircase has been weathered by the elements, yet it stands, offering a way to the boarded-up door. There is a sign hanging from the door, but the words are not visible from far away. Off to the side, is a shed caved into itself, no longer of use to anyone.
    Surrounding the once-populated structure is a group of tall, dark trees, unaware of the secret they hide. A single dove can be heard cooing in a nearby tree, yet cannot be seen. The ground is overgrown with various species of plants, covering any exposed inch of dirt save one small, fresh trail where presumably a deer tromped through. Bugs can be seen skittering across the unmarked path, darting from one side to the other to avoid being exposed and ultimately preyed upon.
    A group of four people slowly come into view in front of the building, crouching as they walk to be on their guard and remain less exposed. They form a line, and follow the leader through the foliage and on the trail to the stone stairs. The back two stay at the bottom and look around, feeling on edge while wielding their makeshift wooden spears. The leader keeps watch atop the stairs while another begins to pry apart the wood holding the door closed. They hear a guttural growl off in the distance, forcing the four to look frantically for the potential and eventual danger. The door is almost free of the wood blocking entrance into it, but one wood piece continues to elude them. They pull and pull, but can not pry it free, no matter what they try. The growl grows louder, as the sound draws closer. The two at the bottom grip their spears tightly, steeling themselves for what will emerge from the copse of trees. The fourth manages to finally pry the last board off of the door, and opens it. They hurry into the marble hallway and slam the door shut. The two with the spears begin to look for anything heavy to shove in front of the entrance door. A strong blow hits the door, blowing it open. The four stand frozen, staring at the doorway, and what walks through.
    On this week’s episode of the Chompcast, we wrap up our final thoughts regarding Monster Hunter World and Shadow of the Colossus. We discuss Nintendo and our current thoughts regarding thes re-releasing games from previous systems, bolstered by listener responses. Morgan shares a few listener polls he ran on Instagram, and we share our opinions on a Bio Break article of scientists discovering the mechanism used by Cuttlefish and Octopi to protrude spikes from their skin.


    Save the Princesses! - Ep. 78 Feb 12, 2018
    Show notes

    Exiting the temple, you hop onto your horse. You speed off into the landscape, wind sweeping your hair around. You feel the anxiety hit you, overwhelming you as you rush into a canyon. You feel claustrophobic as the rocky walls of the limestone and granite slowly close in on you. You push through, as there is no time to waste. You come out and are surrounded by a rocky enclosure. In the middle of a clearing, you see a monstrous entity, towering over you and blocking out the sun. Your horse neighs in fear. Your eyes widen, but you temper your fear. You grip the sword at your waist tighter. Steeling your nerves, you hop off of your horse, ready to slay the colossus.
    What an episode this week became! We discussed romance in video games, which included some listener polls. The topic was inspired by our game that we played, Shadow of the Colossus. Next, we discuss a Bio Break article touching on differences in passion between American and South Asian relationships. We delve more into Monster Hunter World, and Shea briefly talks about the last of his time with Horizon Zero Dawn. Come listen and thanks as always for being a part of the community.


    Deviljho, King of the Definitely Not Just Dinosaurs - Ep. 77 Feb 05, 2018
    Show notes

    Giant beasts roam the landscape, roaring their loud roars as they claim their territories. Creatures fly overhead, with gusts of wind flowing from their massive wing spans. Small creatures dart from bush to tree, looking to forage for food while avoiding the monstrous entities. The overgrowth hides secrets of the forests. Within them, there are monster hunters that slink through, hoping to achieve glory by slaying the creatures.

    Another action-packed episode of the Chompcast is filled this week, as we first discuss our time together playing Fortnite. We discuss game delays and how they impact the gaming landscape. The first big game of the year has dropped: Monster Hunter World. The crew is fully invested into playing it. Shea talks about his week with playing more Horizon Zero Dawn. Morgan shares some reader comments regarding a community question with Battlefront 2. Lastly, the crew discusses a biology article regarding the axolotl and scientists discovering the axolotl genome.


    All Life Bows - Ep. 76 Jan 30, 2018

    Troubling. Troubling is the mind when one delves deep into the inner workings of the brain. Getting lost in thought can lead one to freefall, down…down…down… It feels like a never-ending chasm that can spiral endlessly. Despair can overtake the heartiest person. All it takes is one event to completely alter a person forever. One heartbreak, one death, one violation of the body, one violation of the soul. No one is safe from the devices that can imbue a person with a touch of madness. Madness is what we feel this week as we have SO MANY TOPICS to cover ranging from what soundtracks mean to gaming and us, the Nintendo Labo, Fortnite with the crew, Morgan’s time with Inpatient, Josh’s laundry list of games he played over the week, and a Bio Break article guaranteed to make your skin crawl. Are you ready for the next episode? We surely hope so.


    The Weakest of Things - Ep. 75 Jan 23, 2018

    "Kissing is messy."
    - Morgan Barnes

    Join us this week as we discuss the rise of the battle royale genre, Shea's final thoughts on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, an article about differences in musicians' brains, and why Morgan thinks girls are icky.


    Bug Nuts - Ep. 74 Jan 15, 2018

    BOOM!

    Big explosions illuminate the night sky as a cavalcade of people are stopped in the middle of the street, awe etched onto their stony faces. Their eyes reflect the dazzling array of colors as their ears are filled with a chorus of bursts. The smell of gunpowder fills the air, tantalizing the viewers into a state of nostalgia, as emotions and memories flood them reminding them of a time of childlike innocence and wonder.

    In a barren field, about a half of a mile away from the procession of people, there are heaps of artillery shell tubes. They are towering and grand, offering balls of light to the night sky. Laid out in uniformity of rows and columns, the mini cannons await with eager jubilation to be of use. Whirling around them with lighted sticks, four people ignite the fireworks. The movement of lighting and escaping to safety in choreographed repetition appears to be an interpretive dance, conveying deeper and complex feelings for the world. Their faces gleam in the fading light of the fireworks.

    This year starts out with a bang for Swordchomp! We start off 2018 with a packed episode of the Chompcast, eager to make this year our year. Joining us for the first Chompcast episode of 2018 is one of our dear friends, Rich Meister, a fun and intelligent fellow of destructoid.com. We discuss eight of the games we are most excited for in 2018, and we briefly mention the Nintendo Direct released at the beginning of the year. Prey and Nier: Automata are both games on our mind as we have finished them over our break, as we reflect on the positives and negatives of both. We include a Bio Break article that discussed two separate studies that investigate male insects that lose legs become more sexually successful as they invest more resources into their testes.
