Podcast #308 - Questions Wanted!
Added 2025-01-27 10:30:01 +0000 UTCHello Friends!
We're all set to record another podcast but would love some more questions from you lovely lot. This is for the TripleJump Podcast! Remember, as our esteemed financial supporters, we'll be exclusively coming to you for weekly discussion topics, so please read the following guidelines before submitting:
- No controversial or naughty questions please
- This is a video game podcast about video games so please keep the questions video-game-related
- Going forwards, we'd love it if you can base your questions on any video game news that drops in the week. It doesn't just have to be big serious stories though, so ask us about anything you find on the web. While we will still answer non-news questions from time to time, we're hoping that with a different focus we can avoid repetition.
- If there's a particular event or happening in the industry that you'd like us to discuss in detail, feel free! We like to address one 'big question' per week to headline each show, and pepper in smaller questions throughout
- Try to avoid topics we've covered before
- "Questions on a postcard" (don't make your question too long!)
- We typically record on Thursday morning, so try to get your questions in by Wednesday afternoon!
Thanks all! We look forward to reading through your offerings, and we can't overstate how much we appreciate your support on Patreon and elsewhere!
love ya <3

The Video Game History Foundation Digital Library is set to launch this week, promising free access to their archive of magazines, developer documentation, and all sorts of other media relating to video game history. I couldn't really think of a question about this that didn't just come off as just gassing them up, but I'm still curious to hear your take on what should be a big moment for preservation of games and game media.

2025-01-28 21:53:48 +0000 UTCBAP~!~!!~! As recently reported by various outlets (including YOU~!), GTA V actor Stephen Ogg has expressed a desire to have his character Trevor killed in the upcoming GTA VI as a way to give closure and "pass the torch" to new characters. This got me thinking - What other characters (GTA or otherwise) do you think should be revisited in future games? Either because you feel there's more of their story to tell, because you liked your time with the character and want to check back in on them, or simply because you feel they never really got the proper ending they deserved? (Note - I was originally going to ask a simpler question - "What characters do you want to see offed in the opening of the next game of a series?" - but we all know the objectively correct answer to that question is Chadley.)

2025-01-28 16:56:04 +0000 UTCHello, or... "Sul, Sul" how they say in Simlish language! The Sims and The Sims 2 are reportedly being re-released this week, with all expansion packs included! Wippna chobbadog! The original Sims has never been officially released digitally (shock emoji)! Do you think EA has no more ideas and we're starting Sims post-modernism era, or is this the foundation of something new? Bye bye, or dag dag, Bartek

2025-01-28 15:52:40 +0000 UTCHello BAP I'd like to basically repeat my question from last week cause i still think it's a good one: do you think governments or regulatory bodies will ever take action to prevent companies releasing unfinished & broken games? i bought starship troopers extermination and the game literally doesn't work and it got me thinking that trading standards probably wouldn't let any other industry sell you a completely broken or malfunctioning product. what do you think should be done about it? for example fines for publishers, forcing publishers to refund everyone or maybe even making them label the games early access and sell them at a reduced price? Thanks! Bee
