It’s a 3-man show this week with Jeff out for this one. Starting with movies, District 9 takes up good portion of the beginning of the show with Robert finally getting around to seeing it. The impressions are positive all-around with some misgivings about the buddy-flick nature of the last 1/3. Shawn predicts that this [...]

Out of the Game, Ep. 14
October 6th, 2009
Jeff, Shawn, N’Gai and Robert are back together as what seems to be the regular Out of the Game crew now. Uncharted 2 reviews start off the discussion with Shawn especially disheartened by the ever-present problem of people getting worked up over and focusing on scores. Anthony’s GameSpy review exemplifies the core problem here, but [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 13
September 18th, 2009
The Beatles: Rock Band receives yet more talk at the beginning of this episode. With the whole crew being huge music fans you can easily guess that it has gone over extremely well. That is not to say that there isn’t a lot of thoughtful discussion going on here though with Shawn going into a [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 12
September 3rd, 2009
It’s just Jeff, N’Gai and Shawn this week and it is a tight group. The guys touch on PAX stuff before moving onto TV shows that they love and try to get others to give a chance. The Wire is a universal mention and N’Gai talks about Oz and Deadwood with Jeff pushing Buffy The [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 11
August 25th, 2009
A discussion about Avatar, and the recently released trailer, starts this week’s episode. The reactions are mixed, but N’Gai goes into James Cameron’s filmography and points out how he is particularly adept at throwing in some social commentary that elevates the characters within his movies, so hopefully a lot of that just couldn’t be squeezed [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 10
August 5th, 2009
No Robert or Luke this week, but Jeff, N’Gai and Shawn are here and they are touching on a whole myriad of topics. Almost all of the topics this week are centered around movies, and the Alien sequel with Ridley Scott returning to direct, has the group somewhat interested, but not convinced about its potential [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 8
July 7th, 2009
The guys are finally back with another episode, but in typical fashion, it is not the full crew. We get Jeff, N’Gai and Shawn on this one so there is not too much to complain about. It will be nice to have Luke back soon though.
There is very little game talk here with the guys [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 7: E3
June 15th, 2009
Out of the Game continues to be a fresh take on the gaming scene. Shawn is back talking about not going to E3 this year and what impact that had on his experience. N’Gai and Robert were at E3 and provide their views on being there and what changes the increasingly broadcasted nature of the [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 6
June 3rd, 2009
Thought provoking as always, the out of the game crew is back, but they are missing 2 key members this week, Shawn Elliot and Luke Smith. Jeff, N’Gai and Robert manage to hold their own and bring out some interesting discussion, especially going into the second half.
The topic of generation gaps come in with the [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 5
May 18th, 2009
Out of the Game may be missing Shawn Elliot and Robert Ashley this week, but that doesn’t mean it is any less thought provoking and chock-full of interesting pontifications.
The guys start out talk about disappointments in follow-ups to fan favorite series and how and why that happens. This is spurred by the fact that Star [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 4
May 4th, 2009
There is a lot of high level discussion going on here as is pretty usual with the Out of the Game crew. Shawn and N’Gai have been reading the book “How We Decide,” which is about how our brains work as it pertains to making decisions under different circumstances. They tie it into games as [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 3
April 13th, 2009
Today is another great day in the world of podcasts as we get another episode of Out of the Game. The whole podcast being based on a “what you have been consuming” concept is really intriguing. It could definitely not be, but with thoughtful, intelligent people like this on the podcast it breeds some brilliant [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 2: Game Developers Conference 2009
March 30th, 2009
The second episode of the newest gaming podcast on the block with a dream team of former editors and one freelancer is out and it’s even better than the first. Shawn Elliot has taken the reigns this time and the topics stick a lot closer to gaming since GDC has just wrapped up.
Since most of [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 1: Born Before Digital
March 17th, 2009
Wanted to get this out as soon as possible. The details of this new cast aren’t known, but this first episode has a stellar cast. Give it a listen. Will update with more information soon.
Update:
Let’s get this clear right up front: this podcast is not really about games. It’s a group of well-spoken, thoughtful people [...]
Out of the Game, Ep. 16
December 3rd, 2009
Out of the Game is back after a lengthy hiatus. The first half is spent talking about the works of Malcolm Gladwell and his motion recent collection of essays, What the Dog Saw. Everyone seems to find his thought process engrossing, but N’Gai has a few bones to pick with his examples and execution of [...]
