I'm Just Not That Into Games
15 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 5 years ago -Some people just aren’t that into games. Some people are really into games. This podcast is where these two people come to disagree. Loudly.
Take one game developer (Sam Gillespie) and one non-gamer (Andrew Saul). We force the non-gamer to play all sorts of games and discuss the results in a funny but informative podcast. Recommended if you’re into games. Recommended if you hate games. Recommended if you’re on the fence and like to switch sides.
Sam is an avid gamer and a game designer. Andrew, apart from a serious Sega Mega Drive habit in the early to mid 90’s just that isn’t into games. Will Andrew finally get back into games? Will Sam get less into games? The truth is in the podcast episodes. And there’s music! Each episode ends with a track from our producer Reuben Aptroot.

Episode 15 - Top 5 Games of 2017
June 04, 2019 23:18 - 1 hour - 152 MBAndrew just isn't that into games. Sam just isn't that into football. So logic determined the best idea was to do a top 5 of each from 2017! What could go wrong?

June 01, 2019 00:19 - 24 minutes - 56.3 MBWill Andrew be able to Reign in his excitement or will disappointment Reign supreme? Also what is all this swiping left and right about Sam? Andrew's a married man!

Episode 13 - 80 Days
July 22, 2018 00:09 - 20 minutes - 46.5 MBAndrew kept banging on about Choose Your Own Adventure novels so Sam thought he'd give him one to play. So now that Andrew has a game that is packed full of story will he finally be happy? Can he be happy? Well he has been happy before... and that game had a lot of story in it but not a lot of "game"...

Episode 12 - Flick Heroes
March 31, 2018 23:32 - 22 minutes - 51.1 MBNow here's a thing: Sam's gone and made a game! So of course Andrew has played it (he played a lot in the beta too) and now he's got a heap of questions for Sam about why he designed the game the way it is. It's a real switch of roles as Andrew takes the role of interviewer and Sam is his, mostly willing, interviewee. Andrew learns a lot about the game design process straight from the horses mouth and you, the listener, will learn lots too. Do yourself a favour and download and play the game...
Episode 11 - Hearthstone
March 25, 2018 02:18 - 21 minutes - 50 MBIs Hearthstone a game for the every man? Does that even apply to Andrew? If he plays his cards right: Maybe. Excellent pun that one. Sam gets passionate on this episode and it's no wonder as we get into game design in a serious way. We don't want to give the game away too much but Andrew played a lot more this game than he's done previous ones. Select this episode for your podcast deck and take your chances in the audio arena. That was the last card game pun. Promise. Check out the game (for...
Episode 10 - Amnesia The Dark Descent
March 17, 2018 22:38 - 24 minutes - 56.2 MBAndrew has some stuff to say about this game and horror movies. In fact we're going to be going down memory lane with Amnesia: The Dark Descent as it drags up a lot of comparisons to places the podcast has been before. What wicked webs Sam does weave. But don't get too comfortable as Sam's got a surprise for you that WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING. Spooky stuff. Don't get your scares anywhere else this year (or the year after).

Episode 9 - Tropico 4
March 11, 2018 02:38 - 21 minutes - 48.9 MBThis episode, Andy gets to unleash his inner dictator in the hit city builder game Tropico 4. Will he inflict his citizens to a tyrannical rule for which there is no escape, or will he bring prosperity and peace to his nation. My votes on the former.

Episode 8 - The Stanley Parable
January 17, 2018 12:07 - 15 minutes - 35.8 MBIs The Stanley Parable a game? Does it really matter? Spoiler alert: it doesn't so the boys don't spend much time on it. Instead Sam explores Andrew's reaction to this very unique experience. Could this be the episode where Andrew has nothing negative to say about a game?

Episode 6 - Binding Of Isaac
January 17, 2018 11:47 - 22 minutes - 52.2 MBOne of Sam’s favourite games. Should Andrew not like this one Sam will have to give him a piece of his mind.
