Last weekend we never actually talked about anything gaming related going on in the week or weeks to come. So, with this episode, we’re playing a bit of catch up!

Join ArJay, Matt, and myself tonight as we pull a few stories from this past week and the week before and give a bit of our perspective on them. Having Matt back in the studio without a huge celebration going on will give us time to find out what he’s been playing, plus there’s Episode 2 of The Wolf Among Us. As of this writing, I don’t know who on the show has played it so you can probably expect some spoiler free talk along with some technical issues talk as I had some myself with the PC version.

As always, the phone lines are open for this episode and you can bring whatever you like to the table for discussion. Our number is 334-272-9228.

We hope to see (and hear from) you LIVE tonight!

On February 2nd, 2007, In-Game Chat went live on the radio. Actual, live, FM, FCC moderated, terrestrial broadcast radio. Something that still surprises even us. Since that time, we’ve changed our name once and reverted back to our original name, done a live show for nearly every single day of the week, gone off the air, out of the studio, live from my living room, a hotel room, a trailer, a rehearsal room, a conference room, and likely a few other shady places I can’t remember at the moment.

That all just means that if we’ve been able to do a show, we’ll do a show. And we’ve done 300 of them now (it’s actually more, but there’s a few after-shows and extra contents we didn’t count). What’s more, you’ve been with us for the past 300 plus episodes. Some of you since the very beginning, some picked up on us when we had a special guest or just found us by accident. But your support over the past 300 episodes is the reason we’ve kept doing them in whatever way we can.

On behalf of James, Jeremy, Dennis, Daniel, ArJay, Matt, myself, and everyone who’s been a part of the whole of In-Game Chat, we cannot thank you enough for getting us to this milestone and supporting us for the past 8 years of broadcasting.

Tomorrow night we’ll gather in the studio where we did our very first episode and bring to you a 2-hour celebration of the past 300 with special guests, calls from previous hosts, listeners, giveaways (beta keys, anyone?), and more. We invite you to be a part of the show and call in with your memories and moments and make our 300th just that much more special. You can reach us at 334.272.9228.

We hope to see (and hear from) you LIVE tomorrow night!

Hosts are dropping like flies for tomorrow night’s episode. It’ll be ArJay and myself in the studio with the possible appearance from James in the second hour.

Regardless of who’s there we’ll likely be talking about what happened this week with the saga of Candy Crush and The Banner…Saga and the interesting developments that seem to come daily from that situation. Plus, there’s this whole thing going on with YouTube, Machinima, & Microsoft about paying people to say good things about the Xbox One. Except, just don’t say you are getting paid to say good things about the Xbox One. Legal? Underhanded? Marketing? Will discuss what we know and what we think, but you’ll have to decided if we’re getting paid for it or not.

We want your input and opinions! Our phone lines are open during the show and you can call in and be on the air with us to give everyone listening your thoughts on the matter by calling 334-272-9228.

We hope to see (and hear from) you LIVE tomorrow night!

We’ve got a lot on the list to talk about tomorrow night, but we’re not yet sure what will make the cut. There’s the little info we’ve gotten out of the Steam Dev Days along with more nominations, this time from DICE, and whatever games we have been dipping our toes in for the time being. And by “we”, I mean “ArJay, James, and myself”, because that’s who’ll be in the studio tomorrow night.

Regardless of the news, I’d like to talk about a feature of our show that makes us somewhat unique among most other shows. It’s our phone number. 334-272-9228 You can call that number during our live shows to talk to us and offer your opinion or ask us questions. It’s come a long way since we were on the air a few years back and we’d love to hear from you. Comments in the chat room are great and we love those but we can sometimes miss those or hit another topic of conversation before we see what you’ve written. The quickest and best way to give us your opinion or share a point is to call that number.

It’s something we’d like to make a regular thing, but we’ll need your help and effort to do that. So the next time you have a comment to add to the conversation or a question to ask any of us or the audience listening, why not call us?

We’ll see you (and hopefully hear from you) LIVE tomorrow night!

It’s the first full week of the year and….it’s been kinda busy.

Tonight join ArJay, James, and myself as we cover some of the high points of the week and talk about the announcement of PlayStation Now. Both James and myself have dipped our toe into the waters of streaming games with OnLive and we’ll compare that experience with what we think we’ll get from the service.

A few weeks back we spent an entire segment telling you about the problems of VGX while mentioning other game award presentations out there and we finally got the nominations for one of them. We’ll go over the noms for this years Game Developers Choice Awards.

Plenty more to talk about as well with Steam machines being revealed and player counts in Titanfall.

Also tonight, we’ll be speaking with Danielle Swank and Jim Fleming from Barking Mouse Studios. Just this week they released their first game on iOS called Lost Toys. A puzzle game without the pressure. We’ll talk to them about what that means, their beginnings, and what’s to come from this two-person studio.

We’ll see you tonight in the studio LIVE!

Tomorrow night’s episode kicks off our 8th season of In-Game Chat and we hope you’ll join us live for the broadcast.

The first game finished for 2014 ended up being Assassin’s Creed IV, for me. We’ll chat with ArJay, Matt, Dennis, & James to find out if they finished anything off in the opening of the new year.

Also, as you may know from last week’s episode, James is the new owner of a PS Vita so we’re sure to get some of his impressions of the device and his enjoyment with it so far.

Plus, James and myself sat down with the Oculus Rift to try out a few demos and we’ll do our best to explain something that really has to be experienced.

It’s a new year, with new consoles, new devices, and a brand new season of In-Game Chat!

We’ll see you live in the studio tomorrow night!

It’s a little difficult to write this post at the moment. My vision feels somewhat wishy-washy. It’s slight, but it is as though I’m constantly looking at something in the beginning of that dream sequence effect they used on TV in the 80s and Wayne’s World. This no doubt comes from having just spent a few hours with a few demos on our new Oculus Rift development kit.

So, that’s something we might talk about on tomorrow’s episode.

While we reunited with Dennis last week, he’ll return this week as we reunite with another show host. James will be back at his usual desk position as will ArJay, Matt, and myself. We plan to go more in depth this week on our experience with the first episode of the second season of The Walking Dead, plus catch up on whatever James has been playing while he’s been away – so probably some Assassin’s Creed 4 discussion to be had there.

Plus, it’s the final episode of 2013 and we’ll make our New Year’s Gaming Resolutions and hopefully hear from some of you on what you plan to accomplish in 2014.

Out with the old and in with…well, we’re all pretty old. We’ll see you live tomorrow night!

Happy Holidays from In-Game Chat!

Tomorrow on the show it looks to be near a full house as ArJay, Matt, Jeremy, and myself welcome back Dennis from a long hiatus from the show. We’ll catch up with him and what he’s been playing since he’s been away from the show.

We’ll also have the second part of our interview with Sam Abbott from Compulsion games. He spoke with us last week about Contrast. An interview so long we had to split it into two parts. This second part covers how they came to be part of PS+ for the launch of PS4, how they’ve reacted to professional reviews of their game, and what’s coming next from the team.

I’ll finally give the last update on my Xbox One and go through the details on all that has happened and where I’ve finally ended up.

It’s the Christmas Edition of In-Game Chat!*

*That really just means we’ll have some holiday themed video game music to play during the show.

Coming up in just a few hours it’ll be ArJay, Matt, and myself in the studio discussing the week that was for gaming.

The week started with a lot of fallout (yeah) from VGX – both good and bad, but apparently mostly bad. However, most of that was overshadowed by the REALLY bad of what happened on YouTube. Copyright claims galore and a lot of people shut out of making money on the videos they put a lot of hard work into. It’s a bit more complicated than that, however, and we’ll try to be a bit more detailed and discuss the matter at length.

Also tonight, we’ve got part 1 of our interview with Sam Abbott from Compulsion Games. We just recorded the interview this morning and it was a bit longer than expected – enough to cover this weekend and the next, but when you’ve got a developer as open, honest, and candid as Sam was with our questions and yours, there ends up being a lot to talk about. It’s one of the more informative and insightful interviews we’ve ever done on the show so we hope you’ll listen in.

Also tonight, a request – we give out our phone number at the beginning of each episode and we’d love to hear from some of you who listen in. If a topic we hit on sparks your interest, why not give us a call and talk about it on the air live with us? We’d like to hear from you. Our number again is 334-272-9228.
