Game Plan: Episode 28 - Janky Knees & Skeletal Hips

Three stodgy old men come together once again in back-to-back weeks of Gamers Association's podcast to complain about privileged youths who know nothing of a cell phone-less society and dial-up Internet. The Army of Two Defense Force makes a roaring return before we find out when Link first murdered a helpless citizen in our Legend of Zelda Trivia Show. Culminating in the Top 10 Guy Butts in Gaming and talk of Nick's chest hair, it could only be The Game Plan.

Game Plan: Episode 27 - Wrangle In Some Nerdy Teens

The Game Plan Podcast breaks its hiatus in celebration of Grand Theft Auto V, but despite Luke's best efforts to stay on topic, the conversations tend to gravitate toward Nick's personal life - including his vile exploits of torture in Dungeons & Dragons. A little casual game talk commences before the main event: a GTA trivia showdown, featuring two contestants with next to no experience in the franchise whatsoever. As expected, their performances are abysmal. Can you do any better? There's ...

Game Plan: Episode 2X - PAX Prime 2013 Recap

Still exhausted. Quite sickly. Potentially delirious. All excellent descriptions of Luke Frazier, Gamers Association's resident PAX Prime 2013 attendee here to summarize his time at the show for those who like the podcast or dislike reading. From long-standing triple-A franchises to indies you've never heard of, this special episode of The Game Plan hits on the stand-out moments from the best event in the gaming world.

Game Plan: Episode 26 - The Porcupine-Bunny Love Triangle

This episode of The Game Plan podcast is everything you could ask for. New games? Got 'em, with talk of Saints Row IV, Divekick, and Gone Home. How about the old stuff? Yep, between Super Metroid and everything Nintendo 64, we covered that too. What about extreme statements starting with "best" and ending in "ever?" You bet your bottom dollar we do! Top it off with the return of Nick Cane voicing in via satellite from waterfalls and war zones and this week's show has to be heard to be believed. ...

Game Plan: Episode 25 - Don't Throw The Baby

Portland Watch 2013 is in full swing as the guys at Gamers Association get updated on Cameron's moving status. But because this is a gaming podcast, we set the record straight on the outrage over the Dragon's Crown controversy from last week before deliberating over how best to review a game that's only good with friends. Join our philosophical questions as we address the most pressing issues of the universe. Questions like, why is Luke being accused of crushing a cooler containing multiple copi...

Game Plan: Episode 24 - We Want To Yell About Phil Fish

After our spectacle of pure professionalism last week when we spoke with freelancing superhuman Nathan Meunier, the Gamers Assocition crew returned down to Casual Town for a laid-back episode of your favorite gaming podcast. Keeping in-house traditions strong, early talks of particular titles inevitably turn into mini-rants against Nintendo. Finally, because that horse was still kicking when we originally recorded this content, the guys get into coverage from the Phil Fish / Marcus Beer Battle R...

Game Plan: Special Edition - Nathan Meunier & The Freelance Guide to Video Game Journalism

Be your own boss. Wake up whenever you wish. Play video games and get paid doing it, all in a Pants Optional environment. Such is the life of a successful freelance games journalist like Nathan Meunier, our very special guest on this week's episode of the podcast. Prepare for his greatest tips, tricks, and secrets to unfold in the upcoming Up Up Down Down Left Write, Nathan's book on freelancing in the video game industry which launches on August 5th. For now, though, we had the wonderful opport...

Game Plan: Episode 23 - Nick's Lesbian Bestiality Fantasy

Spending more time talking about Sonic & All-Stars Racing than should be legally allowed, The Game Plan is back with Nick supplying supporting evidence why Dota 2 will undoubtedly overtake League of Legends in the coming days. The Gamers Association guys go on to channel their inner Uber Nerd in an analysis of JRPG leveling systems, picking apart what they're doing wrong and offering solutions to fix them. Plus, we don't talk about the Double Fine Kickstarter because the Double Fine Kickstar...

Game Plan: Episode 22 - Swimming in Teenage Friend Codes

While trying to stay away from any lingering post-E3 hullabaloo, the Gamers Association crew instead looks to the future of video games. Will there be a place for PC, consoles, Ouya, Oculus Rift, and everything else in the coming days? Or should we jump the gun and convert our site to an Animal Crossing fanfic haven to stay ahead? Learn why you should never Google "Joel eats Ellie" and how logic dictates that we're a full 30% of the size of IGN, only on this week's Game Plan.

Game Plan: Episode 21 - Fiddlin' Around with the In-Laws

Now that we've reached the legal drinking age, it's only fitting for The Game Plan to get real smooth with an E3 recap wrap-up. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are all caught in the crossfire, and even the lesser pressers from EA and Ubisoft fail to escape our snarky remarks. For all the highs, lows, and technical-hiccup uh-ohs, slam this in your tape decks and put your mind on video games.

Game Plan: Episode 20 - Reggie Wearing a Donkey Kong Costume

Hurry, hurry! Get your Game Plan E3 predictions here, hot off the presses! Lend your ear as the Gamers Association crew spends way too much time talking about Donkey Konga (and not nearly enough speaking of Animal Crossing). Struggling to identify a Rare franchise worthy of resurrection soon foreshadows our overall lack of excitement for the gaming industry's main event. Because at the end of the day, we'd rather be lost inside an Oculus Rift anyway, where policies against used games and offline...

Game Plan: Episode 19 - Trade Your Wii for a Subway Sandwich

Introducing The Game Plan 3.0, all grown up and with its cuss words no longer hiding behind nostalgic Nintendo sounds (though we might've lost Logan to a dirty sweatshop in the process). With two new guests aboard, we kick off this next gen special with an endless stream of Xbox One complaints. Meanwhile, we're all still confused at what the Wii U is trying to do and seem to agree that the PlayStation 4 simply exists without managing to make us too mad yet. Full of Terraria troubles, Microsoft c...

Game Plan: Episode 18 - Mavis Beacon is a Babe

After another week-long delay, The Game Plan returns to find Nick dying a slow death at the hands of Dota 2 while mods are simultaneously crumbling the foundation of Fallout 3 all around Logan. On the bright side, Luke confirms that Battlefront II is still a blast. A discussion about review scores quickly turns into another heated Metacritic debate before the Gamers Association boys cool down to reminisce about their favorite games from this generation and the last. Realizing how far we've come ...
