Mammoth Monthly - June 2022

Join Jay (@Nightswarm), Johnny (@JohnnyRiot), & Bryan (@MajorPotty) as they dive into this weeks burning question(s); Physical or Digital? This will be a two part series that will take you through the facts of the debate, then discuss some of our opinions and personal experiences. We start at the birth of digital distribution, discuss influence, move through the rise of the fabled "MIDNIGHT RELEASE", and jump to modern day. Physical is trusted but inconvenient, while  digital is convenient yet unsecure.

Join Jay (@Nightswarm), Austin (@Filterchord), & Johnny (@JohnnyRiot) as they dive into this weeks burning question; Do your decisions in video games matter? Why should I play a game a second time just to get a similar ending? This episode points you in the direction of games that have some of the best morality decisions, with real impact, and those that have morality lite decisions. We may also discuss games that lead you into a false security with morality and decisions. #JoinUs If you'd like to join the conversation: Discord: https://discord.gg/Q3dVKFwfdr  <-- All sorts of conversations; From video games and table top games, to wrestling and music!

Join Jay (@Nightswarm), Austin (@Filterchord), & Johnny (@JohnnyRiot) as they dive into this weeks burning question; As gamers, how do we manage hype?

Join Austin (@Filterchord), Johnny (@JohnnyRiot), & Bryan (@MajorPotty) as they dive into this weeks burning question(s); Character/story customization vs a well written character/story. What seems to work and why? Also we play - for the first time ever - Name That Character. To prep, Johnny will name a game and you'll have to name the main character of the game.

Join Jay (@Nightswarm) & Austin (@Filterchord) as they dive into the weekly news. This week, they're talking about #SummerGameFest2022. Diving into #SquareEnix, #Xbox, #Bethesda, & #Capcom. Find out their real feelings on #Starfield and what a video game engine REALLY is. #JoinUs   "All character and events in the Mammoth Gamescast -- Even those based on real world people and events -- are entirely fictional. All celebrity voices are impersonated... poorly. The following program contains coarse language and due to its content should not be consumed by anyone."   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mammothgamesinc Twitter: https://twitter.com/mammothgamesinc

Another month of releases and freebees ahead as described by FilterChord, Nightswarm, and Major Potty.
