Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, and I talk about the things we’re thankful for in what’s been a pretty tumultuous year. We discuss both gaming and non-gaming things we’re thankful for, and surprisingly, we come up with quite a few. What are you thankful for? On our next...
The post SGJ Podcast #505 – Things (Gaming and Non-Gaming) We’re Thankful For appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Hey friends, welcome to the podcast! First off, let me apologize for the audio. VoiceMeeter — the program I use to typically record our sessions — had a kerfuffle, and so I’m relying on the backup recording from OBS, which is the raw audio. It’ll likely be a little louder than usual, so I apologize...

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, and I have a semi-regular check-in, wherein we talk about what we’re playing and how we’re doing. Since we’re missing Jacob — who was sadly under the weather — it’s a slightly shorter show than usual, but it’s a fun one, and we...

Hey friends, welcome to the show! Sorry this is a day late, yesterday was a real fustercluck! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I discuss long-haul games, including our first game that we sank dozens, if not hundreds, of hours into. We also explore what it takes for a game to truly capture our...
The post SGJ Podcast #502 – Long Games that Draw You In for the Long Haul appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Hey friends, welcome to this episode of the show! First off, an apology. Restream had technical issues yesterday. For some reason only five seconds of our stream went out, and then stopped. Therefore there’s no YouTube copy of this episode, only the MP3. To their credit, Restream fixed the issue relatively quickly, and hopefully this...

Hey friends, welcome to this milestone episode! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, and I look back at the seminal games of the last twelve years — since we began the podcast — and talk about how special they, and their developers, are to us. We covered a lot of games, and had a lot of...
The post SGJ Podcast #500 – A Celebration of Space Game Development appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Hey friends, two apologies. First, sorry for it being a day late, yesterday got away from me, and secondly, I forgot to hit record on my mixer, so the audio is taken directly from the OBS video. I hope that’s okay. So, some big news this week. This week, the primary topic is that we’re...
The post SGJ Podcast #499 – Change and Burnout (i.e. Change is Coming to the Podcast) appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Hey friends, welcome to the show! I am sorry the MP3 was uploaded a bit late, real life conspired against me the last couple of days!

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I talk about free-to-play games…eventually. I, sadly, misunderstood the assignment and thought we were talking about totally free games, not games that are initially free but have a range of buy-in mechanics to help monetize the game. Once we get on...
The post SGJ Podcast #496 – Free-to-Play Games, Mostly appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Hey friends, welcome back to the show. As I said at the top of the episode, apologies for missing a couple of weeks, but it couldn’t be helped, as some — relatively minor — stuff was out of our control. We’re back though, and this week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I do one of...

Hey friends, welcome to the show!!! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I talk about emulation. Well, *I* mostly talk about emulation, namely the emulators that you can use to (LEGALLY) play your old games. I mostly talk Android, because we’re focusing on handheld devices and that’s where most of the best one’s...

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s episode of the show. I have to apologize for the audio because VoiceMeeter took a dump later in the episode, so I had to resort to the backup recording. This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I sit down and work with the chat and each other to...

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s episode! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I do another episode of Spin the Wheel, wherein we have a bevy of topics and choose them at random thanks to the wheel at Wheel of Names! We get some fun questions, and it’s a fun, breezy way to...

Hey friends, welcome to the show. First off, I have to apologize for the audio around the end of the show. VoiceMeeter kept, to use the vernacular, shitting the bed, and every time I reset it, it happened seconds later. No idea why, sorry. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again as VoiceMeeter usually behaves itself. As...

Hello friends, and welcome to the show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I have one of our semi-regular check-ins, wherein we talk about what we’re playing, and how we’re doing. It’s a pretty fun show, though it does get a teensy but morose at times. Sorry about that, can’t rally be helped...
The post SGJ Podcast #487 – Check-In appeared first on Space Game Junkie.
Welcome to the show, my friends! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I try to start to tackle the concept of replayability.
