Hi all, here is where I put the blogs, podcasts and youtube channels related to gaming that I enjoy.
My postroll, has various single articles, podcast/youtube channel episodes I liked.
The Indie Informer - An indie game-centric news and review blog. I discovered this as Jill Grodt, head of the site, is a host on The Indie Council Podcast. They also have a youtube channel with let's plays and other content.
Thinky Games - A blog focused on puzzle-centric games. With a large focus on indie videogames, but even discusses print/analogue/physical puzzle games. They also have a youtube channel.
Ladies Gamers - a blog with reviews, previews and other articles of more 'feminine' or cozy games.
Pen to Pixels - I think about the opinion essays that “not enough people would care about,” the games that are no longer “trendy” to discuss, and the reviews that “no one will read” and I’m saddened by all the wonderful things that never even made it to drafts.
Laura K Buzz - hub of games journalist Laura K Dale. Here you can find her articles, links to youtube vidoes, podcasts, etc.
Slow Burn: A Cozy Game Podcast - Slow Burn is a cozy game podcast hosted by NintenTalk, Payton's Corner, and MintendoGaming. Expect cozy game recommendations, opinions, reviews and so much more! New episodes EVERY Wednesday
Not too many episodes so far, but I have been enjoying the discussion so far. They have quite a few episodes remarking on commenter input.
The Indie Council Podcast - A weekly show all about indie games! Jill (The Indie Informer), Mike (Six One Indie), Janet (Gameonysus), and Jenny (Kimchica) are our resident indie experts, and they can't wait to delve into what makes this part of the industry so special. Expect news, game recommendations, and deeper dives into aspects of the game industry from these four folks who range from PR, marketing, influencer work, development, community management, content creation, and beyond!
I've just listened to all of these episodes and am current. I love the discussions.
