   Game Time! EP#18 w/ ABeer&AGame - Partaking, Indulging and Conversing

   Video Link Of The Show (https://www.youtube.com/@theroseexperience) A solo show this time and yes, it has sadly been another long hiatus. Ollie and Erik will return soon from their joint therapy sessions! Instead, joining me are Jim and Brian from Drink A Beer and Play A Game (https://www.youtube.com/@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial) Channel, as well as hosts of their own podcast, The Power Hou (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-hour-podcast/id1247300838)r As you can see by their name, these gentlemen indulge in a cocktail or 2, so I did my best to keep up. More importantly, we talk about video games. First, we discuss what we’re playing and go into quite a bit of depth and then chomp into the state of the big 3: PlayStation, XBOX and Nintendo. Where are they at, what’s the news and where do we think they’ll end up in the future? The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. We close out on a dope game track suggestion from Streets of Rage 2 and hope to be back soon—all links below for them and us. Cheers.

   Game Time! EP17 - 2026 Most Anticipated, Faye of War? Japanese Gaming Industry Turmoil & More

   YouTube: Jason and Ollie reunite to discuss 2026's most anticipated releases, for us at least. It's easy to get bogged down in negativity these days, but what are we here for if not to geek out about games? But first? NEGATIVITY! Thanks for reading Game Time! Podcast & Sidequest! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. The new God of War looks to be featuring Faye, but why? Jason goes into why changing directors for Ragnarok hurt the game, why omitting Faye hurt the Norse games, and how condensing a planned trilogy into 2 games hurt the Norse offerings and how I'm hurt emotionally because of it.Then Ollie brings up the bad: Japan's game investment shortage is drying up, and big-mouthed localizers and translators are hurting video games, anime, and their reputations. Someone who cares about their profession needs to step in and tell the blue hair, septum piercings to hussshhhhh.Also, we discuss some anime and the Oscars, a bit. Game Time! EP 17 is a go.Subscribe to Erik’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@ErikKain and Jason’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@theroseexperience Find us on X:Jason Rose: / therosecompany Ollie Barder: / cacophanus Erik Kain: / erikkain And, of course, subscribe to this Newsletter: https://gamenight.substack.com/ for the podcast and other odds and ends we post here.

   Game Time! EP16 - Xbox is Dead, PlayStation hates PC & Bluepoint, New Name, LOUD NOISES!

   Jason and Ollie team up for the rebranding of the show, Game Night! is now Game Time!

Anyway, Xbox shake-up with Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond OUT! Who's in charge? Is it Indian nepotism?! Watch us argue.PlayStation continues to bungle its studios, with Bluepoint the latest casualty. Hermen Hulst needs to be fired, all in favour say AYE! Sony also now hates PC, and the PC elitists are pissed. I'm OK with this. Watch us argue!Who's even in charge anymore? We finish with what we're playing and then plan our duel for the next blood moon cycle. Game Time! Episode 16 is live! Please Look Forward To It!

   Game Night EP#15-Rebranding; From Japan with Love

   Game Night! EP 15 returns, but a touch different moving forward. First, a change. Erik Kain is still very much involved in Game Night! and we love him in a "wholesome, man kind of way", life has reared its head and time eludes him these days. With that said, Erik will join us from time to time, but will be on a part-time basis. Guiding this new era will still be me, Jason Rose, and now new full-time co-host, Ollie Barder and this episode is a lot about introducing him. Ollie joined us part-time several episodes ago, but has never fully discussed his journey, likes and passions...until now. In this freewheeling episode, Ollie delves into life in Japan, his love bordering on obsession with Mecha in all forms (He's a big deal in this world BTW!) As I sip a Bourbon, I let Ollie meander about his passions until we bring it back to the year that was in 2025 and some of what we're looking forward to in 2026, video game-wise. Hope you're still here and if you are, thanks for sticking with us through this nearly 7!-month hiatus. I promise that this will be far more regular as we move through the year and forward.

   Ken Levine Talks BioShock, Judas And More | Game Night! Episode #14

   Jason and I got to spend a little over an hour talking shop with Ken Levine, game director of BioShock, BioShock Infinite and the upcoming game, Judas. Apologies for some sound issues. We had a soundcheck snafu. In any case, Judas sounds super exciting and innovative and I can’t wait to play it and this was a great conversation. Enjoy!

This is episode 5. 2023 just finished, was it the best year ever for video games? What’s on the horizon for 2024, could it actually match ‘23? Plus a little of what we’re playing, what we’ve been up to, and just what the F has taken us sooo long! Stay with us everyone, we aren’t going away this time.

    Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/game-night-w-erik-kain-jason-rose/id1653261365) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/0YLeIAP5IlJW7wU57UVNUw?si=b4323c55d1e34c2d) Our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpcT47Ykfwjms5lhBfB8A5g) Our first podcast of 2023 and a lot has changed. I (Jason) welcomed a 2nd child and I (Jason) and immensely worn out. That said, our enthusiasm for video games hasn’t waned and there is a ton to be pumped about this year. We begin with a thorough discussion on the all the warranted hubaloo surrounding TV’s hottest show, The Last of Us. We also touch on what some of the worries are as the show moves into eventual TLOU2 territory with it’s announced renewal. Of course, what we’ve been playing and a lot of surprising critique about God of War Ragnarok and its disappointing finale. Erik played the Wo Long Fallen Dynasty demo, Warzone (of course) and Forspoken, along with a few others we’ve been venturing into. E3 is in trouble, again and rumor has it the Big 3 aren’t joining the party. We’ve moved on from Tunic, it just didn’t grab us like we wanted and our new game recommendation is Dead Space Remake. Scared yet? Musical intermission is The Witcher 2 Assassin of Kings Main Theme And as we come back from break we get into everything 2023 has in store for us games wise. If this holds and that’s a big IF, we are looking at one of the best years in this medium’s history. Happy gaming kids, we’ll be back with episode 5 soon. This is a public episode.

    A Game Night Christmas in C Major | Game Night! EP#3

    VIDEO VERSION! Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/game-night-w-erik-kain-jason-rose/id1653261365) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/0YLeIAP5IlJW7wU57UVNUw?si=b4323c55d1e34c2d) YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpcT47Ykfwjms5lhBfB8A5g) Merry Christmas everyone and welcome to our first of many over here at Game Night! Inside these 2 hours you’ll find hilarity, music and entertainment, critique, love, some video games and all of this under the haze of joyful Christmas cheer. (Yes, we had some drinks) After some brief how do you do’s and what we’ve been up to Erik and I move to an abbreviated recap of Canada’s own: Geoff Keighley! and his annual Game Award show which for our money was one of the very best yet. Surprises, announcements, long speeches and maybe a disappointment or 2. We touch on our game recommendation from last week, Tunic. Spoiler, we were delinquent and didn’t get enough playtime in so this one will be carried over to next episode. If you’re late to the podcast you still have time to chime in with your thoughts or play along. Erik needed a lot of breaks so there’s multiple musical interludes and they’re as follows: The first is from me and it’s a way back, play back from the SEGA Master System and a game entitled Zillion. Then it’s a short ditty from the Evangelion rebuilds which is called Peaceful Times. Lastly we end on another gaming departure and that’s from BLEACH TYBW Unohana’s Bankai. After that it all gets a bit blurry. We’ve got what we’ve been playing which deviates into how DC is dead to me (Jason) why dogs > cats ( I made that up), tech malfunctions, then we decided to hang out off air during one of the intermissions for like an hour and talk about life, then we came back to discuss wonderful Christmas memories and a few New Year’s Resolutions for the year. WHEW, I think that about covers it everyone. Again, thanks for sticking with us as we iron this all out. It’s been a good start and there’s a lot more coming. All the best to you and yours, Merry Christmas everyone, be excellent to each other. This is a public episode.

I think we've nailed it with these segments, let us know what you think. Lot of TV and travel talk, our first game recommendation that we'll play in between shows and then share our thoughts, what we've been playing which is everything from the latest COD, to Valkyrie Elysium and finally a lot of God of War Ragnarok, our first music intermissions with a strong entry from Erik this episode, followed by our new segment entitled "Really, REALLY?!" covering some of the absurdity in the game industry and in general, finally our topic of the show to close it all out, that being The State of the Gaming Union discussing the state of the big 3 of XBOX, Nintendo and PlayStation. We love that you're back, we love that you're listening and we hope you enjoy episode 2 of Game Night! Share your thoughts next episode and play along with our game recommendation of Tunic.

    G4TV&Fanbyte Implode|Bayonetta is straight!|OW2 Stinks|Glad you're back!| Game Night! EP#01

    YouTube Apple Podcasts Spotify Podcasts Welcome to the actual 1st, FIRST episode of Game Night! w/ Erik Kain & Jason Rose. We delve into a lot of games media culture stuff right off the bat; why is everyone afraid of China? G4TV was an adventure doomed to fail and should have been launched Guerilla warfare style with talented people instead of with an army of mostly unlikable people. Bayonetta is straight in Bayo3 and that’s a problem, we guess? Should have been obvious but hey, we never questioned it. Overwatch 2 was our recommendation for eachother last episode and we both came away un-impressed and hiding our wallets. Free to play sure doesn’t feel that free in 2022. Then some Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Final Fantasy XVI news along with a nice discussion about why Nintendo’s hardware stinks and then we disagree on XBOX’s past, present and ultimately future potential. ALL THIS IN EPISODE 1 OF GAME NIGHT! Love you all. This is a public episode.

    Allow us to introduce ourselves | Game Night! EP#00

    Welcome to episode 00 of our new gaming podcast, Game Night! a bi-weekly variety audio endeavor exploring gaming from all angle, at our pace. This entry served as a quick intro to us and just a feeling out process, more or less. We talk a lot of what’s been going on in the realm of TV, what we’ve been playing and end it on a discussion of wondering if one sequel is enough to close out the Norse mythology saga for God of War. This episode was recorded in mid October 2022. This is a public episode.
