The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Part 6)

Join me in a Let's Play of one of the best LoZ games out there. In this episode, I complete two more dungeons in the dark world. I also do a bit of wandering while trying to figure out what I need to do next. This part of the game is a bit frustrating to navigate without a guide, so I'll look into researching guides before playing in the future to avoid any unnecessary frustration. This is a great game, but man does it lack explanation and guidance sometimes.  Discord: https://discord.gg/xN...

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Part 5)

Join me in a Let's Play of one of the best LoZ games out there.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Part 4)

Join me in a Let's Play of one of the best LoZ games out there. Honestly, I've been pretty swamped and I haven't had much time to play recently so this is a banked episode I recorded a couple of weeks ago. I remember it being very late and there's definitely a bit of frustration that comes out in this episode. Note to self: no more recording when you need sleep.  Check out my YouTube Channel - Chip Checking In: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHCRWLkOwSH3PgGw1Od1mtw Follow me on Twitter: h...

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (Part 3)

Join me in a Let's Play of one of the best LoZ games out there. We're gonna get through the next dungeon for a 3rd pendant, explore a little more, and maybe even obtain the Master Sword?!?!?! The dungeon in this episode is pretty frustrating and the game isn't the most self-explanatory so I hope you don't mind me wandering around aimlessly until I figure stuff out!   Check out my YouTube Channel - Chip Checking In: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHCRWLkOwSH3PgGw1Od1mtw   Follow me on...

Bring Back Pixels

In this episode, I talk about how I found out that over 100 retro Nintendo games are on the switch, and then I beg the question "Why aren't we making more pixelated retro-esque games?" I probably should have waited a day to record this one but I was very tired and just wanted to get something out. So, apologies if I repeat information or start to babble about nonsense. I just really like retro games and would enjoy seeing more of them in addition to the modern sort. Follow at @chipcheckingin on ...

My College Experience In Undergrad

In this episode, I discuss my overall experience over the last 4 years in college to recap before hopefully graduating in May 2022 with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science. I provide a wee bit of backstory into why I pursued Computer Science after high school and then transition to my most difficult year at Indiana University Bloomington. Finally, I go through my general experience after transferring to IUPUI including courses I've taken, people I've met, projects I've accomplished, etc....

Hogwarts Legacy (Repello Muggletum)

Tonight I'm talking about Hogwarts Legacy; a new game from the wizarding world which is supposedly dropping this year (2022). There will be a State of Play held by Playstation on 3/17/2022, so I am sharing my thoughts beforehand. I talk about what we know about the game, some controversy surrounding it, and some brief details on my own wizarding profile. Oh, also I mention some small bits of gaming news as an ending sidebar.

My Favorite Game(s) of All Time

It's Chip checking in with another podcast on whatever the hell is on his mind at the time. This time, it's Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. I'll be talking through some of the bigger background points and highlights for the games before delving into my own personal experiences and anecdotes. These are honestly amazing games and they have a special place in my dumb little heart. So sit down and rest your weary ears while this local idiot talks about the glory days that held Pokemon FireRed and Lea...
