    TPGE - #107 - Flamin Hot Dew and Color Brain

    Hey Partysans!

    In this episode Bruce is joined by Rocki, Mike, Bryan and Marty to talk about the new hot beverage the kids are all talking about....Flamin Hot Dew. A brand crossover that exists within the same wing of PepsiCo and could only have been made to make a quick buck, and not as a long term beverage. Get yours while supplies last.

    We also talk about the Big Potato party game Color Brain. WE talk about it as both a zoom game, and our opinion of what we think it might play like in more normal circumstances. 

    Thanks for listening!

    TPGC - #105 - Not Garlic Phone

    On episode #105 The Party Gamecast realized this whole plan failed again, and realized we need to make more content in different places.

    So on this episode.....

    What the Food?!?

    The cast pits several Japanese Kit Kats against each other in a battle to the death.

    Gartic Phone

    The cast decided to try the web based version of one our favorite games of all time in Gartic Phone, an online version of Telestrations.

    Thanks to everyone for your support, and thanks SO MUCH for listening.

    TPGC - We live for the Applause - Virtual Escape Room and Lady Gaga Oreos

    On this episode of the Party Gamecast we talk about our experiences with virtual escape rooms, and how it does and does not do a good job at being an escape room, and help bring us together during the lockdown.

    This is our second to last episode of the lockdown. The next episode will be our last playing games away from each other. 

    Oh, we also talk about food, and we weigh in on....THE LADY GAGA OREO!!!!

    Thanks for listening!

    We also discuss the loss of Alex Trebek, and his possible Jeopardy replacements.

    Can't happen, but we have done the next best thing, brought it to you NOW!

    This is our "lost" Snack Brackets, and we have found it and displayed it for the world to see. Thanks for listening, new game and snack content come VERY soon, but for now....SO MANY SNACKS!!!

    TPGC - Episode #96 - Rap Snacks and Cute Animals on Fire

    TPGC - Episode #96 - Rap Snacks and Cute Animals on Fire

    On this episode of the Party Gamecast Bruce does his best to host his way though some older Patreon content. 

    We discuss the future of the show, and wonder what we should do during this period where we can't get together. What do you want these episodes to look like, while we wait to be able to do an episode in the same place again?

    We talk about Rap Snacks, the best chips we can find.

    Bruce talks about the streaming schedule for him and Rocki and talks about their new project "Board Game the Game Show" which you can find on twitter @BGtheGameShow 

    The Cast talks about "Cute Animals on Fire" the Super Art Fight home game.

    Finally Bruce wraps everything up, and asks for future ideas.

    We are proudly sponsored by Power to the Meeple at powertothemeeple.com and the ownership group of Yarrington's Yark Yurt and Speakman's Spew Spa. If you need a place to upchuck, you find yourself in up-luck.

    Thanks for listening!

    TPGC - Episode #95 - Canned Content and Some Fresh Coffee Talk

    TPGC - Episode #95 - Canned Content and Some Fresh Coffee Talk

    On this episode of the Party Gamecast we reuse some of our old content (our Patreon content from December) and repackage it with a brand new discussion about gaming in these current times.

    Our Patreon Content is about Chip Star Chips and Valley of the Vikings (the kinderspiel winner for 2019).

    We also discuss playing video games, Jackbox, distance game playing, Tabletop Simulator and board game apps.

    I expect the next few episodes will be like this, since we can't meet in the same place, and the current environment has changed how party games are being used. We hope to adapt, and learn, and share what we are learning.

    A huge thanks to Power to the Meeple at powertothemeeple.com they are still shipping games to folks looking for distractions, if you are looking for a Friendly Online Game Store, please consider them. 

    We are now on twitch 3 days a week, you can find us at twitch.tv/thepartygamecast 

    Thanks for listening!

    TPGC - Episode #94 - Candy Coated Animal Movies

    TPGC - Episode #94 - Candy Coated Animal Movies

    We hear you, Partysans! At least, we hear you when you call us at PARTYGAM(E)! We finally get around to listening and responding to your phone calls in this episode. Please keep calling; we'll do better. We also ate some candy, went to the video store, and pitted our beasts against one another in the arena of "sport."


    WHAT THE FOOD

    We started with something you can still actually buy in a store: Skittles! Well, not normal Skittles of course, because why? No, these were faux-gurt covered Skittles. Yeah. That's a thing someone made. Also, someone else seems to have made cherry cordials with cola flavoring as well, and because we are not healthy individuals we ate them.


    BLOCKBUSTER

    Old people (like us) and fans of Captain Marvel might recognize this blast from the analog past as a VHS rental box. We just called it fun.


    THE PARTY GAMECLASH!

    It's so great in animal town, red panda crawlin' around! This time we played The Champion of the Wild live, and forced animals to compete in a grueling event that tested their skills to the utmost!

    TPGC - Episode #93 - Jumping Jiminy! What Did We Just Eat?!

    TPGC - Episode #93 - Jumping Jiminy!  What Did We Just Eat?!

    In this episode, we explored a fresh take (to us) on protein, learned what Bruce's drag name would be, and tried to get on the same... frequency. Then we brainstormed for words and learned that our brains are, by and large, places of remarkably calm weather.


    WHAT THE FOOD

    Oh goodness. You know we love you, right? We must love you, or we wouldn't have EATEN BUGS FOR YOU. We also ate some incredibly yummy gummies.


    WAVELENGTH

    We disagree about the grabbiness of this numerically valued clue-giving game. It got very handsy with some of us, and others were not quite as thoroughly groped. We all agree that it did have some really cool stuff in the box though.


    TROPHIES

    We win! We all got trophies! We can't word very well though. We don't get a trophy for that.

    TPGC - Episode #92 - Our Original Recipe of Ones and Zeroes

    TPGC - Episode #92 - Our Original Recipe of Ones and Zeroes

    We'd like to start out by apologizing for the lateness of this episode. We're still here, still making content, and intend to keep it up.

    In this slightly-less-board-gamey-than-usual episode we ate some crunchy snacks spelled with an unnecessary "Z" and hit up Steam to play a couple of party games that are similar to but not actually part of the Jackbox series of games. Also, we fell in love with the colonel.


    WHAT THE FOOD

    We ate some puffed crunch products that may or may not have contained a tornado. Or a nacho. But definitely not a tornacho, which is good because those things can drive a tortilla chip right through a telephone pole.


    AWKWARD

    This game was well-named; we have to give it that. It was a Jackbox-style game without nearly as much style.


    USE YOUR WORDS

    This is another Jackbox-style game, but this one had so much style that it should've come with its own runway. Who knew that there were better subtitles to be had than "DO NOT WANT"? Smiling Buddha Games did, that's who.


    SURPRISE NON-LIVE-PLAY GAME

    Oh my, are you ever in for a treat. I know we were. We hope you're hungry, because this review is finger-lickin' good. Seriously though, you might want to pause the podcast once you hear the name of this game, download the game, and spend far too long playing it before you continue listening to our spoilers. Trust us: play this game. It's worth every minute.

     

    P.S. - Happy birthday to London Calling, which turned forty on December 14th.

    TPGC - Episode #91 - Thanksgiving 2019: J'accuse-bouche!

    TPGC - Episode #91 - Thanksgiving 2019: J'accuse-bouche!

    Happy Thanksgiving, America! Happy late November, everyone else! In this year's Thanksgiving episode, we eat together around a microphone-laden table and talk about a British board game. Ah, traditions.


    WHAT THE FOOD

    We ate strange food from the Mexas. It amused our bouches, stuck our fingers together, disappointed us with our own lack of foresight (in letting the chicharrones go stale), ate candy that smelled like it had already been eaten, then ate half a wheel of sweet potato.


    CLUE

    Clue: you know it (we hope), you love it (maybe), they made a movie (and a mini-series!!!) about it. The movie is amazing. Go watch it. After you listen to this. Maybe before. Or instead of this. It's much funnier than we are.
