The Experience Points Podcast
A weekly video game podcast from the co-writers of ExperiencePoints.net

Jack in to net, cyber-citizens: it’s time to talk about virtual reality. More specifically, it’s time to chat about the looming release of several VR headsets. This podcast was recorded a couple days before Facebook-Oculus Rift bombshell was announced, so view it as a quaint time capsule commemorating our pre-Zuckerberg matrix existences. As always, we’re looking forward to hearing about your VR hopes, dreams, and nightmares in the comments!

The words all pilots want to hear.

Does the multiplayer campaign revolutionize FPS storytelling? Do pilots pee in the suit? Find out by listening to our chat below! And of course, hope into the comments to let us know your thoughts on one of this year's biggest releases.

Spring may be on the horizon for us, but things continue to get colder and darker in for Clementine and the rest of <em>The Walking Dead</em> crew. The weather is getting worse, too. As usual, we spend some time discussing the overall story arc and gameplay systems before launching into plot details. Jorge and I had a few notable differences in our playthroughs, so we’re eager to hear about the consequences of your decisions in the comments!

Between Double Fine's first steps into the crowd sourced funding landscape and Broken Age's release this past month, Kickstarter came of age. Our expectations have soared to great heights, plummeted back down like a rock, and risen again, depending on the project. This brave new world has seen numerous indie darlings released, does Broken Age still stand out two years after it first captured our collective heart? Find out in this week's podcast! Also, let us know what you thought of the game in the comments below.
