It's a Mad World: A Gears of War Podcast

Casey and Cody discuss the seemingly under-discussed game series "Gears of War", that helped define the 7th Generation of game consoles and created what we now know as the third-person cover shooter. These two hosts will use their comedic wit and charm to convince the current caretakers of Gears of War, The Coalition, to bring them on as consultants to make sure the latest Gears of War game is as good as it can possibly be.

Gears of War 3: A Retrospective

February 22, 2022 • Room 604 • Episode 2

Casey and Cody begin tackling the task of replaying and retrospective-ing the Gears of War franchise. Starting with Gears of War 3, the third game in the series, and the end of the first trilogy. Why do they start half way through the series, you may ask? Well you're just going to have to listen to their explanation as to why.

Casey begins the now famous "Hammerburst Minute", and shares his love-affair with Baird. Cody is convinced that the entire plot of Gears of War 3 was plagiarized from a Pokémon game only he has heard of, and shares some details of Gear of War 3's development he learned in about in a book, and there's a lot more involvement from Jimmy Fallon than you would be expecting.

It's time for another episode of It's a Mad World: A Gears of War Podcast!
