Sat, 31 Aug 2024 16:50:39 +0000

Hello!

It's been a while hasn't it?

Nick returns to GWB after a long hiatus, catching up on what he's been playing, explaining why everyone should be playing Yakuza/Like a Dragon games and to the surprise of no one, talks in detail about his thoughts on the upcoming new Life is Strange game.

The plan going forward is to aim to record on a more frequent basis rather than waiting two and a half years between episodes! As well as hopefully having guests/co-hosts again and more special episodes

GWB is back! (For real this time)

Episode 50 - Switch OLED Review

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 18:32:00 +0000

Hello again,

It's been a while hasn't it?

Well I decided it was finally time, delay after delay, hiatus after hiatus. I wanted to come back, I've felt re-invigorated about gaming for the first time in ages, and I wanted to actually talk about!

Just a short solo episode for now, talking about my experiences with the Nintendo Switch OLED Model.

This really feels like the proper comeback, I called it Episode 50 for a reason because it's a true 'canon' episode.

I'm still deciding exactly what the future of the show is going to look like, but I have some projects in mind that will be great fun.

It's time I became a podcaster again

Lets not say, until next time, instead, see you soon!

Nick (@AnotherGmgBlog)

Episode 0 - The Beginning

Sat, 08 Apr 2017 11:26:30 +0000

Today is a special day, the 1st birthday of the Gamers Without Borders podcast.

In honour of that, here's something a bit special, behold the very first 'episode' me and Brad ever recorded, before this was even called Gamers Without Borders! (Fun fact: Brad and I had known each other for about 3 hours before we recorded this)

There's no synopsis or show notes for this episode as no formal plan exists for this episode, but this is something different, so I hope you'll forgive the change in format

I hope you all enjoy listening to how bad we used to sound!

Until next time!

P.S. *A NOTE ON AUDIO QUALITY* Yes I know this episode sounds utterly terrible but there's two reasons for that. Firstly the raw audio was poor quality because Brad and I had no idea what we were doing at the time. I tried my best to improve it during editing. Basically I had a choice between making us sound like robots or ear destroying static noise, I picked the lesser of two evils. Second, I chose not to make this sound good as an artistic choice to prove how far we've come in a year.

Episode 10 - Your Brain on Video Games

Sun, 05 Jun 2016 22:16:21 +0000

We made it to episode 10! Thanks for all the listens everyone! We love you!
This week we have another special guest with us: Life Coach for Geeks, Robin Bates. Robin is a life coach that specializes in helping geeks and nerds realize their full potential and is one of the coolest people we know. You can check out what he does by going to his website, http://www.coachingforgeeks.com/ or reaching out to him on twitter @lifecoachlond.
In this episode we discuss how video games effect our mental well-being as well as share our thoughts on recent happenings in the video game industries. Those happenings include things like:

Vivendi closes in on a Ubisoft take-over
- http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisoft-takeover-fears-deepen-as-vivendi-closes-in/1100-6440404/
GOG Connect - connect your steam and GOG library to instantly grow or start your GOG DRM free library
- https://www.gog.com/news/introducing_gog_connect
New graphics card from Nvidia beats all other cards on the market right now
- GTX 1070 > everything
- http://www.pcgamer.com/geforce-gtx-1070-performance-preview/?3
E3 is right around the corner! As such, someone put out a video showcasing E3 demos, vs actual gameplay. Shame on you Ubisoft…..
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNter0oEYxc
Allison road cancelled
- Rumours of Team 17 being acquired by Konami - Yooka Laylee in trouble?

We also get to hear another exciting game that Rena has designed called Honk If You Want To Go Faster. The idea is to hold a dance-off against geese for your groceries. We think it is going to be a big hit, tune-in to the show for details.
You can find our guest Robin doing a real life play test here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vGHnzZOWHY&feature=youtu.be
This book is all about how video games can be used to change our personal lives, and the world:

Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter

We suggest giving a shot if you enjoy the idea of helping others with games.
