Episode 13 - RIP in Peace Gary Bowser

The Comrades are not impressed with the new Gotham Knights footage (sorry Andrew), but are excited for many of the new Indie games previewed in last week's Indie Showcase. This leads to an interesting discussion about the absolutely fucked development cycle plaguing almost every AAA studio, exemplified by the delay of Starfield. We wrap the episode with taking SIE CEO Jim Ryan to task for his incredibly tone deaf response to what seems like inevitable overturning of Roe v. Wade. Campaign Comrades is a firm supporter of a woman's right to choose, anybody who thinks differently can fuck off.

Episode 15 - Gotham Knights: From Soul Jumping to Soul Sucking

The Comrades wrap up their coverage of not-E3 with their thoughts on the Nintendo mini direct. Then the usual suspects are at it again, the enemies of the pod unite to give us all a little bit of brain damage. Also, did you hear that if you don't exclusively play microtransaction laden multiplayer games, you're not a real gamer?

Mike leads the comrades in this month's game series focus episode on his beloved Pokémon series. The rest of us are just haters so Mike needed some backup, so we brought in the pod's first guest, Joe, one of our longtime friends from high school. For all you diehard fans out there, I have one thing to say to you: seek help!

This week the Comrades punish themselves by watching the 2016 Assassin's Creed movie. Featuring and absolutely stacked cast including several academy award winners, which this movie completely squanders in order to focus on its weird obsession with skull shapes.

Episode 90 - Stinky Gamer Solidarity

We play games for many reasons: to tell stories, build community, and also because they are cool as hell. As our lives grow more alienated and the looming boot of Capital grows to control every sector of our existence, we here at Campaign Comrades are picking up our controllers, rolling some dice, and saying fuck you to the ideology of hate, greed, and domination. Come join us as we game through the revolution!
