EPISODE 93: CREATED MiiQUAL

For however much longer Blip lets the show stay up (temporary re-shift to YouTube likely to follow) here's Episode 93 - Enjoy!

An Important Announcement About The Future of THE GAME OVERTHINKER

Many of you have probably heard the news over the last few days that Blip has been culling series from the network. A lot of shows, some long-running and fairly popular, have been getting the hammer for a variety of reasons, and I just a few hours ago learned that unfortunately ADVENTURES OF THE GAME OVERTHINKER will be one of them as of July.

Obviously, I'm unhappy about this. Before anyone asks, no, Blip has not been forthcoming at this time about the exact reason for removals and this series has been no exception. The general sense is that Blip is looking concentrate on the most profitable and entrenched brands as opposed to growing series like this, and that's understandable from their perspective even if it's a bother from mine.

I've been contacted (privately) by a few parties so far interested in possibly helping the series find a new regular home; but at this time no decision has been made and I'm exploring all options. What this will not do is effect plans and scheduling for the actual release of episodes so far as I am able. EPISODE 93 is 98% completed and should be ready for Friday or Saturday. My plan, for now, is continue uploading to the Blip Channel until they shut down my ability to do so but also to simultaneously upload to YouTube. After that... your guess is as good as mine.

I want to thank everyone who has supported this series over the years, and reaffirm my commitment to continue this series. This particular show is 100% a labor of love for me, and whatever happens to it going forward the one thing I can assure everyone of is that I will not be doing anything that will compromise the form I want the series to take.

I appreciate the ongoing support, and I hope everyone enjoys our upcoming shows - no matter which video-player they wind up being delivered on :)

EPISODE 92: "PINK RISING"

Is this late? Yes, but on the plus side it's because of stuff that'll probably make the next one early. Anyway, this episode has a fresh topic and a Special Guest Host. Yay!

Here's Where To Find THE GAME OVERTHINKER At PAXEast 2014

Hey guys!

I'll probably be out and about at PAX and surrounding areas starting around 1-2pm on Friday, so please feel free to stop, say hi, take a picture, buy a book, whatever. I'm also scheduled to appear on two panels, as follows:

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO END BILE AND HATRED IN GAMES CULTURE
Friday, 7:30pm in Albatross Theater

GAMES SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD
Saturday, 6:00pm in BumbleBee Theater

I'll also likely be tweeting likely the whole time, so if you're not already following @The_MovieBob you should probably start.

Read Some Stuff About Leland Yee

So, I'm a little reluctant to "cover" the Leland Yee story in the show, though that's not to say I won't. Mainly, it's because I realize the fact that OUR anti-gaming politician character wearing a Ninja mask (concieved before anyone had ever heard of Lee) could be construed as a racial joke in that context.

For now, everyone interested in the story should be reading this VERY thorough breakdown from Critical Intel.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Game OverThinker Will Be At CONBRAVO 2014!

Yes, it's true - we're taking this circus to CANADA!



Details on panels, appearances, etc will be announced at a later date. Me, I'm just hoping modern Canada hasn't been over-sold to me :)

EPISODE 91: "TITANFOUL"

The biggest new blockbuster IP of the brand-new console generation thus far offers online multiplayer... and nothing else. For full price. Is this what a sustainable business model looks like, games industry?
