Happy Thanksgaming! - Episode #14
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
11/25/19 • 38 min
It’s a short and more heartfelt episode this week. We know. We're pretty nice.
Thanksgiving is a day to reflect on what you should really be appreciating in your life. It's a time of looking inside yourself and seeing what makes your thoughts happier and your days more worthwhile.
I mean yeah your family is cool and all that stuff, but what we're really talking about here is video games. They're the ones who are always there for you when you need them. They also won't fight about politics at dinner, bring up the fact that you're not using your degree that they helped pay for, and think you should get more serious in your relationships...
Anyway, there are things in the gaming world that deserve a little more recognition this time of year. So that's exactly what we here at the Bored Certified Gaming Podcast are going to do. There are a few we think deserve a shout out and maybe a bit more attention in the public eye than they are currently getting.
The guys discuss how Xbox is killing it with the Xbox Adaptive controller and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, give props to the Sonic the Hedgehog movie for listening to its fans pleas, and talk about some of those sweet Black Friday video game deals we're all truly thankful for.
We hope you enjoy it, and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Achievements and Trophies: Addictive, but Awesome! - Episode #30
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
04/21/20 • 64 min
People may consider video game trophies and achievements meaningless, others consider them vital to the overall gaming experience. We at the Bored Certified Gaming Podcast think of them as our lifeblood. From a psychological standpoint, gamers (including us) may even develop a bit of a dependence on them. These little slices of dopamine have been around since 2005, and it has been Andy and Amar's goal to get all of them. Not a lot of them, ALL of them.
In this episode, the guys delve into the history, science, math, and english behind achievement and trophy hunting. Not the animal thing though. The video game stuff. They've spent the last decade or so collecting, and want to share their thoughts and personal experiences, while also bragging a little. Don't tell them that this is an intervention...

Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
04/13/20 • 70 min
Another week, another podcast under quarantine. The guys are back, but this time, they're here to help you out. You're sitting at home every day, and probably bored out of your mind. Luckily for you, bored is our first name. We don't want you twiddling your thumbs waiting for this quarantine to be over, so here's an episode on some video games that will keep you occupied.
Whether you're a full-fledged gamer, or a newbie who may want to give gaming a shot, Andy and Amar have some awesome titles that will definitely do the trick. They go over some of the prettiest, longest, most detailed, and family friendliest games out there. If you've played them before, maybe this will help rekindle your fond memories of the game. If you've never heard of them, look at some trailers, do some research, and maybe give them a shot!
As always, stay safe, healthy, and indoors.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is REVEALED! - Episode #44
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
09/02/20 • 67 min
This week, Andy and Josh discuss a small and not highly-anticipated title that hopes to make some noise in the gaming world. Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War is the newest iteration in the hit FPS series, and this time, we're going back to the past! NO WAY! Who saw THAT coming?!?
The Cold War was a dumb time in American history, but apparently Activision thinks it'll make the perfect setting for their next game. They recently revealed a campaign trailer, and we dissected all 3 minutes of it! It's got action, adventure, stealth, and Ronald Reagan? The guys discuss their thoughts on the trailer, the game itself, and the state of Call of Duty as a whole. Is this a step back, or a leap forward for the franchise?

Epic Games vs. Apple and Google: Battle of the Titans - Episode #43
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
08/17/20 • 45 min
This week, Andy and Josh (begrudgingly) discuss Fortnite. The elder statesman in the battle royale genre has been no stranger to the headlines, and the court system, as people keep trying to sue them. This time, the tables have turned. It's Epic Games's turn to sue somebody, and they aimed high.
Apple and Google have been tech giants for decades, but they've become a bit stingy when it comes to their 30% developer fees on their respective app stores. Epic wasn't having it anymore, so they filed a suit and put out a smear campaign against Apple and Google. They wanted to get 100% of the money from the microtransactions instead of 70%. With the Epic Games store already established, they were already on their way to doing so. In response, Apple and Google took Fortnite off of their stores. If you take a shot at the king, you best not miss. Was this a dumb move, or will it work out in Epic Games's favor in the end?

Are NCAA Games Making a Comeback? - Episode #42
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
08/10/20 • 57 min
This week, it's Andy and new cohost Josh! Josh is a former college athlete, so we thought we'd use his first episode to dive into the NCAA and the video games they stopped making a few years ago.
EA and the NCAA were the best of friends and had been pumping out sports titles like the University of Alabama puts out NFL players. They were each making tons of money, and we as gamers were reliving the college experience over and over again. Then some legal disputes got in the way, and everything stopped. What exactly happened? Will these games ever come back? What's preventing them from doing so?
We hope they can come back soon. I just want to be able to take my school to the championship, because they won't anytime soon without my help.

Project XCloud: A Better Google Stadia? - Episode #41
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
07/20/20 • 39 min
This week, the guys discuss Project XCloud. Microsoft is getting in the game streaming....game. Many have tried and few have succeeded, but that doesn't mean Xbox can't give it a go. Andy and Amar recap what game streaming is; run through how XCloud is different than its competitors Google Stadia, PSNow, and others; and give their personal thoughts on this technology's future in the gaming world.
Will Project XCloud be the new Stadia, or is there such a low bar that it can't help but surpass its predecessor? Is Microsoft making the right moves this time around, or is it a waste of money? CAN WE PLAY XBOX GAMES ON THE TOILET?!

Are Video Games Peaking? - Episode #40
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
07/13/20 • 46 min
Video games might be hitting their peak. Andy and Amar would know all about peaking, as they did it in high school. Just kidding. Computing power and graphics have been improving at a steady pace for decades, but that rate has substantially declined over time. The advancements we've made have paved the way for faster and better video game technology to be accessible to everyone, but everything plateaus at some point.
Have we reached that limit, or are there a lot more improvements to come in video game technology? The Xbox Series X and PS5 are going to be the next great gaming consoles, but where do we go from there? Is it going to be worth waiting even longer to get slightly faster processors and minimally sharper graphics? With the limits in the advancements of graphics and processing power seemingly being reached, will things like game streaming and VR take center stage?

Are Video Games Too Long? - Episode #39
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
07/07/20 • 64 min
This week, Andy and Amar discuss length. No, not that kind of length. The length of your favorite video games. It seems as though most video games aren't getting finished nowadays. These companies spend years and hundreds of millions of dollars making games like God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Last of Us Part II, just for people to only play a portion of them. Endings go unseen, and stories are only half heard.
Is it because games are getting to be too long and too in-depth? Is there simply too much stuff to do, or is there something else at play here? With the Xbox Series X and PS5 coming soon and budgets/costs rising, can game developers and publishers afford for this to continue? The guys go over an interview from ex-Sony CEO Shawn Layden, dive into some stats, and defend longer games a little bit. This isn't a video game, so try and finish this entire podcast episode.

Bravo Six, Going Dark: Call of Duty Modern Warfare Review - Episode #15
Bored Certified Gaming Podcast
12/02/19 • 46 min
Call of Duty is back.....to the present? Back to.....modernity? Back to reality? Oh, there goes gravity....
Back to the topic at hand, Modern Warfare is the newest iteration in the Call of Duty series. It’s been out for about a month now, and Activision and Infinity Ward just recently announced that Season One of multiplayer will launch on December 3rd. It’s been renewed for a few seasons after that too! Looks like the pilot did pretty well.
Andy’s been playing the hell out of Modern Warfare since it’s release, and wanted to share his thoughts on the game with you all. The sound design is fantastic, the visuals are top notch, and the gameplay is classic (but somehow updated) Call of Duty. The campaign is darker and harder-hitting, and the multiplayer is still a delicate balance of skill and OH MY GOD I GOT HIM HOW WAS THAT NOT A HEADSHOT?!? Tons of fun. If there was any kind of descriptor that Call of Duty Modern Warfare can be given, it's that the good people at Activision and Infinity Ward dialed up the realism to make it a truly nostalgic sensory experience.
Andy feels like he’s been transported back to 2007 and he’s in middle school playing Modern Warfare until the sun comes up, but he's still a 25 year old man who can drink and rent a car. Honestly, that's the vibe of this game. It's a new game that’s made for today, but it’s old in all the right places. Go try it out for yourself!
