The 70% Complete Podcast is a show where the tangent IS the topic. Every other week Phil and Logan get together to talk about video games, technology, Runescape lore, weird esoteric tidbits, and vintage 1940s lamps? It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but never more than 70% of anything.

    046: Call of Duty as Richard Garfield Intended

    Today's episode is about Call of Duty, a game franchise purchased by Microsoft in 2023. Microsoft, specifically Xbox, is the target of the BDS Movement's boycott action in response to Microsoft's involvement in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The BDS Movement is explicitly asking us to cancel ongoing Game Pass subscriptions and decline to purchase items from the Microsoft Store. For more information, visit the campaign page. ---------- Today we're talking about skill-based matchmaking, the bogeyman of many a Call of Duty player. What is it, why is it, and is it really as bad as that guy on Tiktok says it is? Probably not, right? In the second half of the show, we talk about Logan's peak Call of Duty degeneracy and how he managed to get good with a handful of hokey (but helpful) mantras. Or axioms. This is a great episode if you want to know more about how games incorporate your performance into play, as well as want some advice on how to get good at something (and never be able to turn back again).

    045: Big dumb ideas all around

    Welcome to Data Privacy Talk? This episode is the canonical example of what happens when something gets our goat...when our "goat" is user data and "get" means claw from our cold, dead internet hands. We don our tinfoil hats and vent about some of the latest tech frustrations we've had, then talk a bit about what we're doing to claw back a tiny bit of control. Come on in, we've got plenty of hats to go around.

    044: Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

    For the first ever episode of the 70% Complete Podcast recorded LIVE and IN PERSON, Logan had a plan: what if this time, we watched Star Trek? Now you may be wondering, what POSSIBLE methodology could be employed in deciding what Star Trek to watch? We just did one Logan liked. So! Strap in as we watch my first Star Trek episode (ever!): "Darmok." The show is split into two sections, the first is some commentary as Logan and I chat through the episode and the second is just a discussion of the themes and our general thoughts about the episode. The discussion begins at 38:28.

    043: The Curious Case of Stackable Clues

    Today, we continue our march through Old School RuneScape patch notes to talk about Logan's greatest enemy: clues what can stack. We dig into how the game used to work, how stackable clues work now, and then get into the big Ship of Theseus discussion about quality of life improvements. It's a great episode and I think you're love it. Also, we talk about Cabbage Wizards. I dunno, man.

    042: Dirty, unclean herbs

    I know what you're thinking, "it's another Runescape episode? Boooooooring" but don't fret, dear listener, it's a Runescape patch notes episode! Oh, I see you're putting your headphones away, okay wait, let me try one more time: In today's episode of the 70% Complete Podcast, Logan explains what the hell Slayer is, we manage to not make a single Reign in Blood joke nor make the Halo Slayer voice, and somehow come away understanding some stuff about how Runescape works. It's a good one! Mentioned in this episode: We're participarting in Extra Life 2025!
