Inferior Gaming podcast. We love video games but are not that good at them... Caitlin and Alan discuss various videogame topics, including what we played as kids, our favourite boss fights. https://www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gaming
Sometimes you are excited for a game and then you play it. And something… doesn’t feel right. Sometimes games are disappointing! What are your biggest gaming disappointments? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Disappointment — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan aren’t angry they are just disappointed. Some games not only fail to live up to expectations but they throw us completely out of the experience. Sometimes that is because they are a l...

We talk about the best horses, mechs, and airships in video games. What mounts keep you in the world instead of warping with fast travel? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Vehicles — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan ride around in our favorite video game vehicles. Fast travel is out and vehicles are in. Especially airships in the Final Fantasy series. But horses, chocobos, and tanks have a place ...

We talk about Silent Protagonists, Golden Retriever MCs, and almost every Final Fantasy MC. Why do the rivals and supporting characters hit harder? Do you have a favorite video game protagonist? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Main Characters! — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan get into what it means for a character to be a video game protagonist. Does a Silent Protagonist just lift up the villain as cool? A main character who is relatable can have a stale p...

My daughter hand-made me a card and stuffed toy for my birthday. I’m long past 33 but I thought it was great. @sandfallgames.bsky.social #ForThoseWhoComeAfter
We know without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts… is light! We discuss the improbable masterpiece of Kingdom Hearts 1 and unlock what makes this game so special. #KingdomHearts www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Kingdom Hearts 1 — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan discuss Kingdom Hearts 1. We both bought this game when it launched on PS2 in 2002. The magic of the game seems too big to fit into an elevator pitch, but the lore claims that is wher...

We discuss the changes reshaping video games. AI is pushing up the cost of hardware, displacing disc factories, and digital “ownership” is taking over. www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
PlayStation Discs are Done! — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan talk about the end of the PlayStation physical discs for games. Things have been leading to this point for a while- however… that doesn’t mean that we are happy about it. And that thi...

Is the best controller the one you forget you are holding? What about the kind of immersion you get in arcades? Or a Dance Dance Revolution machine? We wouldn’t know but that doesn’t stop us from talking about it. www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Controllers — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan talk about controllers. Is it best if you never think about the controller, or if the controller is the main draw? When games give us so many ways to customize do we lose the simplici...

Listen this week if you want to hear the most ADHD confession ever made. We listen to other things while we play games. Have you ever listened to a podcast while wandering through an open world? Do you have hobbies that don’t require your hands? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Multi Tasking — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan talk about listening to audiobooks and podcast while you play video games. The problem with hobbies is the need for human hands. You can only hold so many things. But in an Open World...
hallowedgroundmedia.org
Do games need a conflict? Is the conflict the gap between skill of execution and figuring out what to do? Or is conflict violence? We get more philosophical and look at a lot of games and how they work. www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Conflict — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan get philosophical about if games always have conflict. To be a game there needs to be a failure-state. Maybe a win. Maybe an ending. Maybe even a story. Does the tension of avoiding f...
hallowedgroundmedia.org
We figure out what makes Video Game endings hit different than any other kind of storytelling. Spoilers for lots of great games, but some deep thoughts too! #Expedition33 #KingdomHearts #MassEffect #FinalFantasy #StreetFighter www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Endings — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan get to the end of all things. What makes for a great video game ending? Tying together the gameplay and the story is a great place to start. No loose ends- and don’t let the sequel un...
hallowedgroundmedia.org
No more debate is needed. We reveal to the world who the best (and worst) BioWare characters are. And who the most interesting Final Fantasy characters is. You are welcome. www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Favorite Characters — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan discuss our favorite, and least favorite, video game characters. Who is the most interesting Final Fantasy character of all time? The best written character in any Bioware game? We ha...

The downside of recording a couple episodes before releasing any, our emotions are outdated.
Inferior Gaming@inferiorgaming.bsky.social · 2mo agoRemember 12 years ago when it was June of 2026? We cracked open a time capsule from that simpler time when we were excited about Kingdome Hearts 4, Fire Emblem, and so many more. Take a listen to that more innocent age… www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...

Once and Future Games — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan come back from our break and we played a lot of games! We dipped into our backlogs but also went back to our old familiar favorites! Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts, Persona- you know the ...

This is the schizo vibe of our show. One of us plays the new games as they drop and the other one slowly (so very slowly) plays games that have been out for years.
wah.zip@computermouse.bsky.social · 3mo agoyou play videogames when they get released I buy them years later on sale and play them when nobody cares about them anymore we are not the same
Don't mind me...just here waiting for the show to start .... 💛👀 Less than 24 hours to go ~ see you tomorrow for Wholesome Direct 2026!
I am much too hopeful that there's going to be something I care about in the State of Play

Food — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan want to eat videogame foods. Even if they look like Christmas Tree lights! Garbage Pizza! Comfort Stars! And of course… Pancakes! With the Season 2 finale we announce the games we wil...

I want to play the entire Trails series eventually. But...the money to buy all those games. It's a lot.
We talk about puzzles! The good and the bad. In fact we say puzzles so often it loses all meaning to us. What is your favorite Puzzle Game? Most hated Puzzle? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Puzzles — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan say the word “puzzle” so much it becomes meaningless. Puzzles that secretly tell a story are where it is at for us. Most puzzles in games are filler but a few made us see the world di...

Women in Games — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan highlight women in video games. Women were always part of video games so we learn a little history and feature our favorite women characters.

What do we mean when we say, “Role Playing Game?” Does it even apply these days? If every game can be called an RPG then is it even a genre? www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Role Playing Games — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan debate what is the essence of Role-Playing-Games? If everything could be called a role-playing game, then is there really any such thing as an RPG? We talk about the math behind the f...

We talk about the open-world RPG Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Did you make up with the family? Or kick them off a cliff 😂? Even tho it’s been years we both remember having fun with this game, and Kassandra kicks ass. #AssassinsCreed #Malaka www.hallowedgroundmedia.org/inferior-gam...
Assassin's Creed Odyssey — Hallowed Ground Media

Platinum Achievements — Hallowed Ground Media
Caitlin and Alan talk about the difference between beating a game and getting all the trophies. Is trophy chasing its own reward? Or is it only fun when the achievements happen naturally. We talk abou...

Inferior Gaming@inferiorgaming.bsky.social · 7mo agoHere is an episode all about our influences as podcasters. The news sources we turn to, the streamers we watch, and lore experts who do the hard work. We are inferior so they can be superior.

Thanks to @ellalowgren.bsky.social for making gaming literacy a priority- we all had to learn the basics sometime! Bringing more people to games is so important!
