Episode 51 – Under the sea

Join Megan and Steven as Megan recounts a recent visit to Caitlin’s mom’s house that almost ended in a trip to the emergency vet, and Steven gives us the lowdown on his PAX South 2017 volunteering schedule.  Other topics include:

  • which team Caitlin’s family would be if they were in a Pokemon game;
  • Megan’s hopes and dreams that Nexon’s unannounced MOBA title will turn out to be League of Kpop;
  • and an executive summary of an old Gawker article about an unfortunate calamari-eating experience.

Episode 47 – Three Nipples Down

In this Pokemon-heavy episode of Swag Tier, Megan tells listeners about a bath bomb experience gone wrong, and Steven recaps a confrontational speed dating experience he had at New York Comic Con.  They also prove that their college degrees were not wasted dollars by doing math both correctly AND quickly for the first time on air.

Episode 37 – Baby’s First Mad Libs

This week on Swag Tier, Megan and Steven decide to change things up a bit and play a little game called Mad Libs.  Join them in their adventure to hear about:

  • some of Megan’s childhood memories;
  • Steven’s bathroom pro-tip for pooping in style in public;
  • a glowing recommendation for Wizard People, Dear Reader;
  • Steven’s first (and hopefully not last) profanity slip up.

Episode 20 – The illustrious digbickqt scootin’ stallions

It’s a misnomer to call us a gaming podcast. We know that no one listens to us for gaming news, they listen because we’re entertaining and have great chemistry. Case in point: we’re in the middle of E3, but talk about it for only a minute at the start and end of the episode. We’d rather talk about:

  • Megan buying KCON NY tickets while sitting at a red light;
  • Yungoos looking like Donald Trump;
  • playing Final Fantasy Explorers > KCON sponsorship > Ticketmaster sponsorship > Donald Trump sponsorship;
  • how Megan is so easily convinced to keep her cable subscription;
  • the awkward decline of E3

Episode 14 – M.E.O.W. (Megan is an Equal Opportunity Whacker)

Megan and I continue our coverage of PAX East (even though you wouldn’t know it by the immediate tangent we take), talking about:

  • Marooners, an awesome local co-op game inheriting the best of Mario Party’s frantic minigames
  • Nuclear Throne‘s clever spectator giveaway
  • Steven’s addiction to (and subsequent abandonment of) Shop Heroes
  • how Megan becomes unhappy when children become happy
  • Puzzle and Dragons‘ booth

Episode 8 – All Aboard the Express Train to Handheld Central

In this episode, we can’t seem to stop talking about handheld games!  We open with a tribute to the late Akira Tago, the Puzzle Master of the Professor Layton games, discuss some of our most memorable moments involving handheld systems, and we finish strong with how an ongoing obsession with fanfiction has shaped Megan into the bo-*ahem* girl she is today.

Topics in between include:

  • How New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the perfect game for anyone with an affinity for in-game collectibles
  • Why Bravely Default is no longer on Megan’s list of tentative games to buy/play
  • A throwback to Dogz and Catz, old PC games that taught Steven valuable life lessons about pet ownership
  • Frizbee’s personal YouTube channel
  • Megan’s coming out story, which were the first steps to her current dream of becoming a world-renowned author of Mamamoo fanfiction

Also, it’s still an open question whether you can make a poop level in Super Mario Maker for the Wii U.

Episode 5 – Journey Through Drive-Thru

In which we discuss:

  • snake weaves,
  • whether peacock feathers go on your head or your butt,
  • Journey Through Europe, an awful game that requires defacing your game board,
  • leaving your driver’s-side mirror at a McDonald’s drive-thru,
  • Steven’s non-gaming convention curiosity getting shut down by a slow and deliberate old lady,
  • whether Pokemon Black and White are real,
  • the Pokérap
