INDIGOCAST #5 | After Hours: Ranking the James Bond Films

Let's settle the score and do a redux of the infamous "Best Video Games of All Time" bracket tournaments by IGN and GameInformer. Joining me today are the venerable Majuular & SolePorpoise.

I'm here to give you all an update on where the channel is going, what my next couple videos are going to be about, answer questions, and as a bonus, I'll be commentating on my The Elder Scrolls: A Promise Unfulfilled video, with fun facts, things I liked about it, opinions I would have changed today, and other bits of interesting information. I hope you enjoy!

Ground control to Major Todd... Let’s sit down with Zhakaron, Patrician and Private Sessions to discuss the highly-anticipated Bethesda game, Starfield: the good, the ugly, and the potentially bad. What have Bethesda Game Studios learned from Skyrim, Fallout (and especially Fallout 76), and are applying it to their first new IP in over twenty years?

Zaric Zhakaron ► https://www.twitch.tv/zhakaron | https://www.youtube.com/c/Zhakaron PatricianTV ► https://www.youtube.com/c/PatricianTV | https://www.youtube.com/c/plebtv Let’s sit down with Zaric Zhakaron and PatricianTV to discuss the rippling effect of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. How did Skyrim affect the industry, how did its console-focused streamlining of the series reflect on other RPG series, such as Dragon Age, The Witcher and other RPG series that seemed to follow in the footsteps of this massive financial success? We’ll be discussing The Elder Scrolls evolution, as well as many related RPGs. Was this a coordinated effort to expand their audiences into the mainstream, or was this trend more of a “stand-alone complex,” where various developers and publishers independently landed on similar game design conclusions?

I'm going to be sitting down with fellow video game, Matrix and Dark City aficionado, GmanLives ,  to discuss the history of "simulated world" movies and video games, including The Matrix franchise (The Matrix, The Animatrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and the recently released The Matrix Resurrections), their video games (Enter the Matrix, Path of Neo and The Matrix Online), Dark City, and some other classics like Blade Runner, Mad Max, The Terminator and others...

Guest starring NerdSlayer ► https://www.youtube.com/c/Nerdslayergaming/ Tonight we're going to be discussing the decades-long evolution (or devolution) of the role-playing game. How RPGs have lost a lot of the choice, meaningful decisions and freedoms of previous games, and how many other genres have borrowed from RPGs to a point where the label has become almost meaningless.

Featuring Shalashaskka: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrlzDiryfIdaLk-ARuojU-A Introducing: IndigoCast After Hours! This is an experiment to see if people enjoy more casual discussions on my 2nd channel in addition to more tightly-planned podcast episodes on my main channel. Let's talk about the 24 official James Bond films, and how they rank up in our minds.

In my first solo podcast episode, let's take some time to reflect on the best games of all time in my book. I'll list the games that currently have that honor, and why they hold that special place in my heart. RULES FOR JUDGING No New Games: Titles must have been released at least 3 years ago (so newness doesn’t bias my opinion, some new games age quickly) Timelessness: I must have played it recently (within the last several months)  Still Enjoyable Today: Must still be enjoyable in its current state (no defunct MMOs, etc.)

Let's chat with game reviewer and video essay legends, Raycevick and Mandalore about our shared love for games SO BAD, they're actually GOOD!   GUESTS: Mandalore Gaming ► https://www.youtube.com/MandaloreGaming Raycevick ► https://www.youtube.com/Raycevick

After a long intermission, INDIGOCAST returns with fellow YouTube gaming personalities Mah-Dry-Bread, Sole Porpoise and GriffinMuffin! This time, we're talking about game design trends that have come around recently, both good and bad. Hopefully it makes for some interesting conversation.
