The Summer of Miscellany: Miscellaneous games for various things

Sometimes we have ideas and games we'd like to talk about but nowhere to really place them in the greater scheme of our gaming plans and machinations. You might think that we are elitist and just don't want to talk about them. I say to you, nay, for we will create a show just for these odds and ends that just don't fit anywhere else! This week, the GCR crew will be talk about the wide open world of tabletop miniature gaming. We'll also be talking about games that are incredibly easy and other ones that are incredibly difficult to play. Plus, Scott will regale us with another one of his patent-pending Impromptu Game Reviews. so don't miss out!

Looking for summer gaming ideas? Look no further than a whole episode dedicated to them!

More than Harley Quinn, No Joke(r): Mental Illness Portrayal in Gaming (Part 2)

The team at Game Centric Radio will take on a hot-button topic (again, since there was too much content for just one episode) -- depictions of mental illness in gaming! Whether we're looking at video games to portraying mental illnesses in table-top gaming, we'll be exploring accuracy and the fine line between "over the top" and downright offensive. We'll even look at character-based board/card games that touch on the subject,

We’ll be taking on this topic on Tuesday, July 7, at 8 p.m. (CST). Did you hear the first of this two-part episode? If not, it’s here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/game-centric-radio/2015/05/20/its-not-all-harley-quinn-and-malkavians-mental-illness-portrayed-in-gaming

It's Not All Harley Quinn and Malkavians: Mental Illness Portrayed In Gaming

The team at Game Centric Radio will take on a hot-button topic -- depictions of mental illness in gaming! Whether we're looking at video games (from Borderlands to the depictions of Joker and Harley Quinn) to portraying mental illnesses (known as "derangements" in some systems) in table-top gaming, we'll be exploring accuracy and the fine line between "over the top" and downright offensive. We'll even look at character-based board/card games that touch on the subject, such as Gloom and Betrayal at the House on Haunted Hill.

Next week, we take on mental illness as it's portrayed in gaming. In the meantime, we wanted to remind you about this episode, in which we discussed gaming-related media beyond actual games.

Born(e) Identities: Games and Related Media

Many games today are not merely games. They start as games, and somehow, through some mystical process *cough-marketing-cough* they grow, spawn, and morph into other media as well. Many well-known titles have gone on to sire movies, toys, and even other types of games. This week, the Game Centric Radio crew will dissect this ever-morphing animal to dig up the answer about how games can become something more (and, perhaps, how so many other things find themselves incarnated as video games). So tune in, and don't miss out!
