As Someone Who’s Hosted Movie Days, This View is Accurate Hey friends, welcome to our 400th episode! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I are doing something a little bit different for our big 400th episode. We were thinking, what could we all do together that would be fun, and Spaz came up with some Rifftrax! So I therefore recommend y’all watch the video for this one. We had a lot of fun! Note: for some reason the audio cut out for a monent or so a few minutes in. Next week is up in the air, as I’ve invited a guest on but haven’t confirmed their appearance, so we’re coming up with a backup topic.

Er…Whoops Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I welcome back Jasper Pol, the developer behind my most anticipated game, the space taxi driver game known as Taxinaut (which just hit Steam by the way so you should all buy it, or buy it on Itch and get a Steam key, even better). We talked about development of the game, its quirks, its massive size and a lot more. It was a really fun discussion with relatively few tangents! Next week we’ll welcome back the developer of Rank Warmaster, as that game has grown QUITE A LOT since our last entry on the game.

Still One of the Best… Hey friends, welcome to the show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I do show antithetical to the one we did last week, wherein this time we talk about things in gaming that we love. Not just specific games either, but things in multiple games that just speak to us. It’s a fun conversation with many tangents, but we hope you enjoy it. Next week is a bit up in the air. One co-host is off on holiday, and another currently has Internet issues. If they’re both out, we’ll do something else other than the podcast. Stay tuned! :) As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums.

Oh, How You’ve Disappointed Us… Welcome to this week’s show y’all! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I have some things we need to get off our chests. Typically during a show, one of our tangents involves our continued disappointment with two of the biggest names in space gaming: Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. Well in this episode, we go full in on why we’re, ultimately, just so damned sad and disappointed with these games, in spite of the space game resurgence they’ve caused. Next week we’ll twist this topic and talk about things in gaming we love.

So, So Good Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I talk about the joy of a good co-op game. We discuss our favorites, what we think goes into a really good co-op game, what we wish some games did better, and a lot more. Next week, we’ll be airing our grievances, but hopefully in a funny and entertaining way.

One of the Best Friends, I am so sorry this is late. Somehow last week got away from me. Anyway. this week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, David and I talk about a topic near and dear to my heart: pilot sims versus plane sims. I love flight sims, particularly pilot-focused sims like Tornado, EF2000, 1942: Pacific Air War, whereas plane-focused sims like those from DCS don’t really interest me, so we talk about both. Along with the typical tangents of course. :) In the next episode we’ll talk about co-op games!
