Relax. And enjoy the ride (know what I mean, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more, know what I mean).

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the podcast that Morgan and Shea have been waiting for. This week, the topic of the Chompcast was sports gaming. Do we like it? Is it still interesting? Getting through Josh’s groans every 12 seconds (not really), we discussed our social media polls and interactions throughout the week. The actual gameplay was a bit slim, as we sadly didn’t play much this week.

A Dark Twist - Ep. 133

BOOM!Big explosions illuminate the night sky as a cavalcade of people are stopped in the middle of the street, awe etched onto their stony faces.  Their eyes reflect the dazzling array of colors as their ears are filled with a chorus of bursts.  The smell of gunpowder fills the air, tantalizing the viewers into a state of nostalgia, as emotions and memories flood them reminding them of a time of childlike innocence and wonder.In a barren field, about a half of a mile away from the procession of people, there are heaps of artillery shell tubes.  They are towering and grand, offering balls of light to the night sky.  Laid out in uniformity of rows and columns, the mini cannons await with eager jubilation to be of use.  Whirling around them with lighted sticks, four people ignite the fireworks.  The movement of lighting and escaping to safety in choreographed repetition appears to be an interpretive dance, conveying deeper and complex feelings for the world.  Their faces gleam in the fading light of the fireworks.This year starts out with a bang for Swordchomp!  We start off 2018 with a packed episode of the Chompcast, eager to make this year our year.  Joining us for the first Chompcast episode of 2018 is one of our dear friends, Rich Meister, a fun and intelligent fellow of destructoid.com.  We discuss eight of the games we are most excited for in 2018, and we briefly mention the Nintendo Direct released at the beginning of the year.  Prey and Nier: Automata are both games on our mind as we have finished them over our break, as we reflect on the positives and negatives of both.  We include a Bio Break article that discussed two separate studies that investigate male insects that lose legs become more sexually successful as they invest more resources into their testes.

Chompcast 2018 GotY - Day 1 Part 1

The day is finally here. Ladies and gentlemen, 2018 has winded down. It has come and gone. We gave it its proper send-off by giving our personal top 5 lists of our favorite games of the year. Then, we sat down the metaphorical table and hashed out Sword Chomp’s top 5 games of the year. There are some expected big players, but the results WILL SHOCK YOU!!! Was that buzzword enough for you?  Don’t miss our final show of 2018. Thank you for the best year of Sword Chomp yet, and here’s to an excellent 2019 together.

Chompcast 2018 GotY - Day 2 Part 1

Ten pirates boarded the ship as the cannons blasted, blowing iron into the water and into the hull of the enemy boat.  Swords clanked together, steel meeting steel in combat.  Corpses began to pile up on the wooden floor, blood leaking through the cracks and pouring to the hull below.  The sounds of cannon firing and gun shots blared on the open seas, as the dying calls of the clashing pirates managed to cut through the cacophony. The enemy pirates began to overtake the ship, forcing the shipmates of the boarded vessel to wave the white flag of surrender.  The enemies tied up the remaining pirates who managed to stay alive.  The captain of the rogue vessel steps onto the boarded ship.  Without a word, he gives the execute signal.  One of the enemy pirates wielding a gun pulls out a gun and blows away two of the surrenderers with no remorse.  One of the pirates begins to blubber and weep openly, not wanting to die.  The captain laughs at the sight.Suddenly, a helicopter appears on the horizon.  The pirates from both parties look with confusion and dismay as the winged vehicle approaches at a breakneck speed.  As it gets closer, the pirates hear someone yelling, “Yee haaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!”  The helicopter stops above the ship, as the wind from the propeller rains down on the pirates, making them scramble for cover.  Suddenly, a horse leapt onto the deck of the ship with a man on top double-wielding rifles and wearing a cowboy hat.  On his brown jacket, there was a pendant in the shape of Montana.This week’s podcast was discombobulated in the best way possible, as we talked about Sea of Thieves, Far Cry 5, listener polls, and the question of the week: should video games have to say “something”?

More Equal Than Others - Ep. 86

The four heroes return to the tavern they once visited, after a lengthy few months of slaying monsters and travelling with various heroes.  Josh throws his pack on an empty table and beelines straight to the bar for a pint.  Fish sits down at the table, and begins to etch on a wrinkly parchment.  Shea sets his stuff down and hurries off to the bathroom, holding his weak bladder for much too long.  Morgan joins Fish at the table and motions to the head mistress to have her send his favorite girl.  Within seconds, he falls asleep.  As the mistress arrives, she stares at the passed out hero, and then looks at Fish.  Fish looks up from his parchment, shrugs his shoulders, and then continues to write onto the paper.  The mistress, angered that her time was wasted, slaps the napping hero in the back of the head, then ascends the stairs back to the second floor.Rich, the bartender whips up four pints of his finest ales for the heroes.  He joins Josh, as they begin to catch up on the tales of the creature eliminating.  Josh tells of the heroes’ sagas, weaving story after story.  Rich listens intently, and then primes Josh for a story of his own.“There is a man that just entered our dusty town. No one has ever seen him before.  He is unlike anything anyone has ever seen.”Riveted, Josh sits at the end of his chair, gulping his beer.  His eyes are widened, and a frothy, beery moustache gleams on his upper lip.Rich continues, “He has been labelled one of the greatest monster destroyers this world has ever seen.  But that’s not what makes him so odd.”Rich, looked around, ensuring that no one was eavesdropping.  Josh repeats Rich’s actions, almost looking to see if the strange creature he spoke of would suddenly pop up.“No, what’s so odd about this man is---”Suddenly, a group of 3 enemies burst into the bar, surprising everyone.  They knocked over Fish and Morgan, tangling them with the legs of the chairs and tables.  Some of the patrons fled for upstairs, fearing for their life.  Josh went to draw his sword, but remembered that he had set it on the table in his weariness.  Shea attempted to exit the bathroom to join the fracas, but locked himself in the bathroom and couldn’t get out.A man burst into the tavern, wearing red overalls and a red hat.  He donned a thick moustache, one not made of beer.  The heroes looked to the man, and were greeted with, “Here we GOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Senseless Violence - Ep. 64

Remember the first time that you entered an arcade? You walked in and heard all of the video gaming sounds: guns shooting, characters moving and exasperating, vehicles driving. The flashing lights enticed you to play, overwhelming your auditory senses. You feel something in the air…almost electric. You can’t quite put a finger on it. The scent is a bit pungent, as you smell undeodorized flesh from the multitudes of people jampacked in the building. Shouting occurs at multiple machines as friends watch each other attempt to break high scores set by unknown masters. You hurriedly walk over to the counter, locking eyes with the arcade worker. You dig into your pocket, pull out a $5, and slam it on the counter with excitement. “Can I get tokens, please?” you ask the worker. The worker bends down and grabs a cup full of metal coins from underneath the counter. He hands them to you. You rush off to decide what to spend your coins on first.This week on the Chompcast, we discuss mini games within games, which prompted us to talk about a whole plethora of games from our past. We discuss this week’s polls that we featured on our media. Next, all four of us finally discuss God of War, which includes multiple spoilers. Lastly, we give a shout out to those who donated to our Patreon monthly campaign. Thank you to each and every listener who continues to support us and give us some of your time out of the day to entertain you. Game on!

Half Hazard - Ep. 168

This week, we talked about something... but Josh cannot remember.  He stares longingly into Fish’s eyes.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Besides the galaxies that exist in Fish’s irises and pupils, we discussed games as a service, something that is popping up and is fairly new to us gamers.   We looked for an exit as we played A Way Out.  We began to plunder the seas as Morgan spoke of his initial happenings with Sea of Thieves.  Lastly, Shea was over the moon as Morgan and he discussed playing Shining Force 2.  Next week, we will discuss how to properly lick and seal an envelope.

Stool Snapple - Ep. 85

The white, sterile hospital room is empty, save for someone.  It lays there on the table, seemingly lifeless.  Upon further inspection, the rise and fall of the chest can be seen as it continues to breathe through shallow, controlled breaths.  A gown covers it as it lays on its side unconscious and waiting to be operated on.  Its mind begins to dream of a time already passed.It was running through a forest, darting and weaving through the underbrush.  A blur was ahead of it, barely keeping pace as it attempted to flee.  It could smell its flesh, a succulent scent gracing its nostrils.  It could barely contain its excitement and hunger as it continued the chase.  It let out a screeching roar, alerting the blur and anyone else in the forest that it would soon be dining on the meat of a smaller creature.  Leaping forward with its large claws attached to its hind legs, it pinned the blur down.  The smaller dinosaur attempted to break free as the velociraptor watched for a few seconds, reveling in its success.  It brought down its razor-sharp teeth, rending the tough exterior of the smaller dinosaur, and biting into the sweet taste of flesh and blood.Now, the velociraptor was in a hospital full of medical tools and doctors dying of cancer.  Long past were the days where it would hunt for food, as it was slowly wasting away.  The doctors had planned a last ditch effort to save the velociraptor by performing a unique kind of surgery to remove the tumors plaguing its body.  The doctors stormed in, roaring and showing their gleaming teeth that were the size of daggers. They adorned gowns and eye coverings, in case of blood splatter.They began to wash their claws in sinks that were so high up on the wall that they almost touched the ceiling.  They heard a stir, turning around to see the velociraptor wake up from its unconscious state.  It seemed as if the anaesthesia was wearing off.  One of the doctors began to prepare a second dose.  Another doctor moved to the velociraptor, checking on the cancerous dinosaur.“Please…” the velociraptor whispered, barely managing to say the words, “give me… a hand.”The velociraptor looked up at the doctor, meeting its gaze. What stared back at it was a large t-rex waving its stubby arms and shrugging.This week on the Chompcast, we were deep into the world of co-op as it was our main topic of discussion.  The topic was prompted by our main game of this week, A Way Out.  Morgan and Josh continued their onslaught of the Donkey Kong series, moving on to Donkey Kong Country 2.  Somehow, for only God knows why, we managed to squeeze out even more Monster Hunter World talk.  That’s your show, so jump on it!

Chompcast 2019 GotY - Day 2

Fish was a dirty rotten bitch this week and decided to talk shit on Skyrim, so this synopsis is going to be petty and, quite frankly, ridiculous. This week, we decided to discuss games that were overrated or underrated with a revisionist history lens. The other three had great input and insight. However, the ichthyoid carcass washed up on the shores of the bog of eternal stench decided to blow his putrid bubbles in the way of a classic (really, he was right; I’m just bitter). Afterwards, we discussed our time with the Resident Evil 2 remake, Josh’s initial thoughts on Kingdom Hearts 3, and I’m sure Fish did something else in the show but I couldn’t care less about it. Oh, and we discussed dragons...because dragons are important. Enjoy the episode, and I hope Sheogorath drives you completely insane, Fish.Times:Intros - 0:27Sponsored by Sassy D Merch - 14:38Overrated Games - 17:00Listener Comments (Underrated Games) - 55:02Games We're Playing - 1:21:58Resident Evil 2 - 1:52:21Kingdom Hearts 3 - 2:25:50
