About this listen

Did you ever sit back and wonder "who the heck did I marry", because we're pretty sure we didn't know what to expect when we tied the knot. What we got was a house full of so much nerd, it could basically be a convention. But what happens to the nerd inside when life starts to get in the way? You make a podcast, of course! The Still Alive Podcast is a mish-mash of video game talk mixed with a little bit of insight, life, and pop culture references. Join us as we talk about how nerd culture fits into our busy lives and examine genres, tropes, and funny observations we pick up along the way.Fan Clubs Science Fiction

    This episode takes a look at video game integrity and "git gud" culture. We look at the common "real game" tropes and argue why they don't actually matter.

  • Why do most video game movies suck?
    Aug 1 2021

    Since the very first video game movie, fans have been in a state of constant disappointment. From Assassin's Creed to Resident Evil, game to movie adaptations tend to leave us wondering if the people in tinsel town have any clue about the source material. Probably not, but it's not just a video game problem.

    Books, board games, comics, and so many other mediums have a hard time making the move to the silver screen. Of course, there are plenty of success stories too! In this podcast, we discuss the wins and pitfalls in video game movie adaptations, and how it could be trending up.
