On episode two of the "On Playing With" series I focus in on my family's long running family game night. But not before digging into some of the history that brought us to being capable of having family game nights. There is overlap in some ways between this conversation and the last episode. I also start to dig into what it's like to teach someone how to play games, which is actually a lot harder than you might think it is.

Joe is back! It has been a few months, and Joe Erskine, Producer at Private Division, has returned to Bounty Board, making him our first returning guest! Join us as we bemoan the end of baseball season, talk about the games we have been getting into, and take a lengthy detour into why people should feel less inclined to share their shitty opinions.

Happy Tuesday folks! Gareth and Caleb talk about all sorts of things. From street food vendors working out of the back of their scooters, to living above the remains of civil war embattlements and plague mass graves, to creating art that you hope connects with people on a personal level. There is so much in here to enjoy, so come hang out.

A few weeks ago I had the honor of having the third and final co-host of The Habibi's Podcast, Fawzi Mesmar, on Bounty Board! Fawzi is currently the Vice President of Editorial at Ubisoft but has been a consummate globe trotter up to this point, working at studios from Australia to Japan to Germany! Together Fawzi and I talk about a sampler platter of topics, from teaching students, hunting for the source of creativity, making games in today's industry, to the most appropriate conversation ever: Our shared love for Ramen.

With E3 looming on the horizon, Caleb thought it was a good idea to finally sit down and record another episode of Bounty Board. The last few months have been kinda tough and he wanted to let people in on what has been going on, his plans for future Bounty Board stuff, and also to catch you up on what he’s been playing.

Happy Holidays everyone! Sorry for the delayed upload. Caleb’s wife had a baby on Christmas and that kind took precedent over everything for a moment there.

We recorded this episode on the 23rd, and boy was it fun! Join the Bounty Board crew on a special holiday episode where we rapid fire some questions that Caleb definitely didn’t rip from the Waypoint podcast. We talk favorite holiday foods and drinks, discuss whether or not ham is actually bullshit, and much much more. Happy holidays y’all!

Happy Sunday Funday everyone! What a week of announcements and events! The end of the year is nigh, and until the year finally flips over, we HAVE to talk about the Game Awards. The Geoff Keighley helmed event only grows in prestige, and with no E3 for developers to announce their games this year, the announcements and teases were in shocking abundance. Join the gang as they dissect the awards, talk about the cyberpunk fiasco, question whether or not Naughty Dog deserved an award for Best Direction, and rejoice at the number of co-op games announced. It’s a fun episode y’all!

We’re back in business and back on time with our releases! Hooray! Join the Bounty Board crew as they discuss their bounties for the last month and moreover their favorites for the year. Caleb goes deep on why he loves Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, for like…a long time. Ben talks about Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Ryan discusses why he has returned to Snowrunner and hopes to find more consistent players, and Tech talks at length about why Apex is crushing it this year, and why he has always loved city-planners like Planet Coaster and City Skylines. The end of the year rapidly approaches!
