The Chompcast takes a break from the usual discussion and debate of video game titles to bring you a titillating and energizing new segment: Roundtable discussion. A Roundtable discussion involves us picking a topic of gaming and then making personal top 10 lists. From there, we select the five we feel are the all-time best and etch them in a tome for history. For our first Roundtable discussion our topic is gargantuan, frightening, and dare we say epic: bosses.
Chompcast Ep. 8
The underwater adventure continues this week on the Chompcast as we descend into the briny deep of Abzu, a game filled with wonder and joy. Opinions were mixed on the game, and we remained divided at the end of the discussion. Shea and Josh, or Mulder and Sculley (you can decide which one is beautiful enough to play as the beautiful Dana)? They share their time with a supernatural thriller of a game, Oxenfree. Keeping this podcast shorter, we wrap up with some news regarding Cuphead and EVE Online.
Greek Mothology – Ep. 7
Uncharted 4 gets all the love as we here at Swordchomp shower it with many high praises. Doom claws its way from the depths of hell as Morgan briefly mentions his time with the game thus far. An aria from the depths of a starry sea fills our ears as Shea discusses Song of the Deep and Super Mario 64: Last Impact, the fan-made sequel to Super Mario 64. The evening newspaper recoils off our front door, and we are thrust into conversation of news regarding Overwatch, Gears of War, Pokemon, and No Man’s Sky.

Tomb Raider? I hardly know her.
This episode is dedicated to Morgan’s childhood. His filthy, filthy, childhood. Through the years, many things have changed. Phones have become computers, self-driving cars, hoverboards that don’t actually hover, and so much more. One thing that has never changed is Morgan’s affinity for Tomb Raider. Joined reluctantly by Josh, the two discuss their time playing the Tomb Raider games chronologically, giving the series the proper love that Morgan feels it deserves.

Welcome to the third episode of the Chompcast! Pokemon was on our minds as we discussed a fan-made Pokemon game that expertly paid homage to the games of old. After, we hopped into our spaceship and flew through the galaxy as we enjoyed our time with No Man’s Sky. Shea begs and is granted his time to discuss a Sega Genesis game that you have never heard of, Sword of Vermilion. Fish puffs out his chest and yells his weekly news to the heavens. We wrap up the show with some listener comments and questions.

Whatcha Gonna Do? - Ep. 2
Chompcast number two is coming at you, brother! We coined our first two catchphrases in this episode (“Preston Garvey can go to hell” and “Zambo”) as we discussed No Man’s Sky, Fallout 4, and Heroes of the Storm. If that ain’t enough for you, we got some action-packed news on the tightropes. So let me ask you: whatcha gonna do, brother? Whatcha gonna do when the second episode hits your eardrums and you gleefully listen?

Ashes to Phoenix - Ep. 1
Welcome to the first episode of what is known as the Chompcast. Birthed from the ashes of a former podcast, we missed talking about video games. We decided to resurrect and start anew. After the introduction of the four hosts that you will come to know and love/hate, we discussed a healthy serving of games, including Pokemon Go, NMS, Dead Rising 3, and Doom. We round out the show with some news and some final announcements!
