Episode 30: Titanfall Drops

Titanfall speculation, Xbox One sales, and Youtube Millionaires On the show today, I'm giving my feedback to the chatter surrounding early Titanfall reviews. I'll also talk about whether this game, or any other, can save the Xbox One. Will Respawn ever shake the references to Call of Duty? Is this a precursor to Destiny being referred to as "like a Halo game"? What will it take to make this next generation console truly a "must have" system. And finally, what this means for youtubers like PewDiePie who make millions off Lets Play videos. It can't be a Gamers On Tap podcast without a mention of copyright and fair use. Enjoy!

Episode 29: Don't be an Idiot

Don't be an Idiot - As much as I know you want be one. On the show today, I wanted to tell everyone to stop being an idiot. Don't get upset. Yes, I'm talking about you, but I'm also talking about myself. In fact, I'm entirely talking about myself. Sounds easy, but it might be impossible to not be an idiot. Have a listen.

Episode 28: Too Much Sex

Can you have too much Sex? On the show today, I'm asking the question, "Can you have too much sex?" People will be happy to give each other advice on how to avoid "burn out", but does that apply to sex as well? Can you get burnt out on sex the same way you can burn out on video games? Listen to my take, you might be surprised. Gamers On Tap podcast is posted daily, is available on iTunes, on Youtube, and is embedded below.

Episode 27: Watching eSports

Where should eSports improve if it ever hopes to compete? On the show today, I wanted to talk about the Call of Duty Championships that aired this past weekend on MLG.TV. The broadcast was great and I enjoyed watching all the teams involved. It got me thinking about what makes traditional sports more popular. It seems like an obvious answer and that's why you might be surprised at my take. Gamers On Tap podcast is posted daily, is available on iTunes, on Youtube, and is embedded below.

Episode 26: Community Managers

Either do a better job, or watch your jobs go away On the show today, I'm giving you my take on the current state of video game managers. On one hand, video game companies are aware of the importance of social media influencers, and yet they give little respect to the role of community managers. I'd like the community take a more active role in engaging those bottom rung community managers and let them know they have an important job.

Episode 25: Passion for Gaming

Why is it important to find your passion? On today's show, I wanted to continue my rant from yesterday (why the video game media angers me sometimes) and share with you my motivation for blogging, writing, and podcasting. I also wanted to give mention and thank Barry Collins, the creator Ashen Rift, the upcoming indie game for PC, for a wonderful interview and helping me realize what's great about video games. The interview will air during the weekend podcast.

Episode 24: More DLC and Camo Packs

Gamers think that video games grow on trees On today's show I take issue with some entitled people out there. The youtubers that habitually complain about DLC, microtransactions and monetization in general have my ire today. I'm also shocked at a post on Gamasutra.com from a self-described "talented" developer that is having trouble finding a job. Where does this sense of entitlement come from and how do we get back to normalcy? Gamers On Tap podcast is posted daily, is available on iTunes, on Youtube, and is embedded below.
