Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 16 (You are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. That’s enough.)

Hi Everyone

Not every day can be a games and soul searching. I’m not always going to have something deep or sad or inspiring.

Sometimes, the Play’s the Thing.

Today’s Episode is dedicated to my dear friend, Guard-A-Manger.  Bards Blessings upon your awesome hat!

Here’s a link to the Dog Days of Podcasting  And here’s the RSS Feed for the 12 Days of Podcasting

The intro music is all thanks to Prism Shard. Merry December!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 15 (Sharing the World With and Without Dice)

The past few months have been really scary. Fear leads to Anger. And Anger didn’t lead to the dark side this time.  It lead to me learning something pretty surprising.

Turns out that not all who game use dice. And the many worlds of many RPGs are for dice chuckers and non dice chuckers alike.

The Non-denominational Non Holiday intro music is all thanks to Prism Shard. Merry December!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 14 (Player, Level Thyself)

Greetings and Salutations my fall friends. Hope that the change in weather is doing you all good.

Who knew that playing video games would point out that my character wasn’t improving. What was improving was me, the player.

Here is a link to EpicNameBro’s Youtube Channel.  Show him love.  He’s awesome

The shiniest intro music in the ‘verse is courtesy of Prism Shard. So very shiny! Thank you so much.  You are cooler than grenades or strawberries

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 13 (Friends Give Joules’ Brain a Cross Check)

Adios to Dog Days of Podcasting (I’m doing it next year chummers!)

And today is a good introspective/retrospective.  Caused by trying to reserve a hotel for Origins 2017.  Who Knew!?

The Bestest (Yes that’s a word!) intro Music on the Matrix is courtesy of Prism Shard. So very shiny!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 12 (I’ll Be Here All Week, Be Sure to Tip Your Artist)

Ahoy my various media aficionados!

Well This episode isn’t as nice and as sweet.  But it’s necessary.  If we want to see all types of media and art independent of big business influence, we gotta step up as art lovers.  And support the artists.  Not with lip service, but with cold hard cash.

Here’s a link to my buddy’s shop: Wyrd Armouries.  You can see what kind of neat stuff she’s bringing to Dragon Con! She’s at the Wyrd and Wired booth in space F186!  Go say hi!  Enjoy the cool stuff.  (Faint from the awesomeness of her cloak!)  Personally I’ve got my eye on the Doctor Who Waist Cincher.  I’m going to be linking to different artists in the future, so stay tuned!

Much love to the music creator Prism Shard. We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 11 (Horror in the Uncanny Valley)

Good evening everyone

Lots of folks liked my last podcast about Little Fears.  I thought I’d take you all a bit deeper down the rabbit hole.  Why I love Little Fears. (That one links to their twitter account).  Why that game specifically is special to me.

Our spiffy intro music is thanks to Prism Shard. Yaaay!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 10 (Build Your Own Campfire Heroes)

Come sit by my fire kiddies.  Auntie Joules has some stories to tell you

Not all Heroes wear capes. Not all heroes are grown ups. Most heroes are kids just like you.

Want to be a hero and beat the monsters?  Check out Little Fears.  The bogeyman is real, children.  Beware the Bogeyman.

Our super shiny intro music is thanks to Prism Shard.  Go Give them some love!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 9 (Who Watches the Watchmen)

I’ve mentioned him before in passing.  But it’s time to get to know the other master of the House of Slack and Science.  Zippy Toetag, at your service.  He’s the Dr McNinja to my Axe Cop.  We’re one HELL of a team!

Our super shiny intro music is thanks to Prism Shard.  Go Give them some love!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 8 (Hours of Play Versus An Hour of Fun)

Welcome back player 2!

Many video games out there give us a fun or profound (or both) experience with over 30 hours of gameplay.  And that’s great.  But what if the lengthy playtime results in someone losing part of the experience?

Turns out that there are some video games out there that can deliver a fun and memorable experience in an evening.

Come meet the Unfinished Swan and face the dealer in Hand of Fate

Our intro music is thanks to Prism Shard.  Go Give them some love!

Five Degrees Off Normal: Episode 7 (Michael Ansara Helps Build Character)

Well it’s the weekend.  Sunday to be specific.

Who knew that watching Batman the Animated Series would assist in making new characters?  I certainly didn’t.  But then again, it is impossible to quantify the effect of Michael Ansara’s awesomeness.

The amazing music for this podcast is from Overclocked Remix.  The song is called Nova Siberia. It’s Big Giant Circle’s remix of Mass Effect’s Novaria.
