Welcome to the Left Behind Game Club, our never-ending attempt to make sure that no game is left behind.
Join hosts Jacob McCourt (@JacobMcCourt), Mike Ruffolo (@ruffolom) & Moe Murtadi (@mmurtadi) as well as some wonderful guests, as they go through games large and small, old and new to bring you funny, informative, and mostly positive discussions about them.
We’ve got over 100 episodes in the feed, so if you wanted to take the show for a spin – download a show about one of your favorites and let Jacob, Mike, and Moe guide you through it.
The show releases every first and third Wednesday of the month.
Join us on our goal in every episode to make sure that each time, there’s one less game left behind.
We have a party and celebrate our 100th episode! Please note, that this is a very different episode from our typical format. Jacob, Mike and Moe react to their first episode, refresh some lists and take audience questions!
7:00 We re-visit our “top games lists” from 2017 (Jacob /Mike/Moe) and build new lists (see below)
17:00 Questions from the Left Behind Game Club Community
17:40 @StoryEverPod: “What have been some of your favorite games you’ve covered on the podcast so far?”
23:00 @OnlineWarriors1: “What would you say is the biggest thing you’ve learned about or improved upon in your podcast process between Episode 1 and Episode 100?”
27:00 @LudonarrativeFM: “Since I found the Left Behind Game Club via searching for games that I liked, I would love to hear you go around and each pick a game that you NEVER want to cover on the podcast. (e.g. too long, too difficult, not your style, something is technically broken, etc.)“
30:45 @CtrlAltNoob/@TravisColenutt: “Who is the superior Mario brother?“
32:00 @KanePlaysStuff: “What is a video game?“
32:20 @chiasssoo: “This show set out with a goal of recreating the experience of playing games with friends. Even though I wasn’t there 97/100 times, I felt like I was there after listening to each episode. My one question is: when are you playing Metal Gear Solid? Congrats on the front page [of Apple Podcasts Canada]! Happy Hundred!“
35:00 @dj_stormageddon: “What video games changed your perception of what games are capable of as a medium.”
37:25 from Mangulwort on Discord: “…talk about the first gameyou guys ever played?“
38:05 @lesperak asked about our favourite moments from the show
40:45 @CtrlAltNoob inspired this edition of the Left Behind Game Show
