The Surprising Twists of Red vs Blue
Really not doing very well at consistent reporting, but hey… it’s summer! Three weeks ago, we mentioned that Rooster Teeth had released Red vs Blue Season 13 Episode 15 – ‘Armonia, Part One’. Since then, they’ve released Armonia, Part Two (Doyle acts in a surprising manner), All or Nothing (Locus shows a surprising level of morality), and Great Destroyers (knives provide some surprises). Things are really heating up – just two more episodes! (There was also a PSA – this one should help you narrow down the choices for the next movie to watch.) Go catch up!(Louis Wu 06:26:24 UTC)

Podtacular 502: RTX 2015 Recap
Our RTX experience this year was nothing short of extraordinary as we celebrated our 10 year anniversary of the show. In addition to our episode 500 panel, we hosted a reunion party for all of our fans who attended RTX. We had some awesome people come by and game away a lot of Halo swag. We did get to see the show floor and attend a few other panels while we were there, but admittedly, this year was all about our anniversary. We can’t thank everyone enough who helped get us here during our 10 year journey.

Eric Nylund, Amazon and No Correlation
With the recent article in the New York Times about the reported working conditions at Amazon, I guess many in the games industry did a bit more Googling than they normally do. While Eric Nylund (largely known around these parts for penning ‘The Fall of Reach’) left Amazon in July of this year, Gamespot, IGN and others are reporting it this week as news. Eric posted on his blog that there is no correlation between the New York Times article and his leaving the Amazon Games Studio and that he only cried once while working there. Thanks for starting the conversation Apollo!(MacGyver10 21:17:49 UTC)

Podtacular 501: Parenting in Video Games
Video games have become integral parts of household entertainment in the past couple decades and their introduction to the living room and every day lives exposes them to family. In the day and age where parents must be mindful of the content consumed by their kids, video games take a front seat role. We’ve invited a group of avid gamers who have kids to discuss what concerns there are being a parent in the video game space, what do they do when they play games with them, what they allow their kids to play, and what responsibilities parents have when making choices on games they play. We are pleased to have on our show as guests Ducain 23 from Forge Channel, Ovaryacting from the PMS Clan, BelleBunny from Dames of Destiny and Rectify Gaming, and Grimm & Axiomm84 from Dads of Destiny.
