In this episode of Getting Gamers, I am joined by my cousin Red1ty for a deep dive into the Resident Evil franchise and the evolution of survival horror gaming.

We explore what made the original Resident Evil games so revolutionary, from fixed camera angles and tension-building gameplay to the franchise’s transition into modern third-person horror experiences like Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7, and the recent remakes.

The conversation also branches into modern gaming technology, including Nvidia DLSS, graphics cards, AI’s impact on PC hardware pricing, the current RAM shortage, Unreal Engine, live service games, and the future of gaming performance.

This week, I sit down with Geist Theory to talk about turning a love for gaming into a real career in game design.

We dive into the difference between game design and game development, what narrative game design actually is, and the reality of working in the gaming industry. Geist Theory shares his journey from making games as a kid to studying interactive media and eventually working professionally in the field.

Juke is joined by Absynth to dive into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its transition into the The Witcher.

From monster contracts to messy timelines, they break down what works (and what doesn’t) when a game becomes a TV show. Along the way, the conversation drifts into chaotic laughs, strong opinions, and the kind of side tangents that only happen when you’re talking about a world this big.

If you’ve played the games, watched the show, or just love fantasy storytelling — this one’s for you.

A quiet game.
A big question.

Gris sparks a conversation about accessibility, identity, and why not everyone who plays games feels like a “gamer.”

"Gris," a watercolor-art style game, is highlighted for its intuitive gameplay, atmospheric music, and lack of verbal cues, making it accessible and enjoyable. Juke and Mirifique discuss gaming habits and preferences. They explore the concept of what constitutes a gamer.

In this episode, I’m trying something a little different.

Since I don’t have listener submissions just yet, I went through some Reddit stories about gamers and non-gamers in relationships and picked a couple to talk about.

I share my thoughts on the situations, what might be going wrong, and the kind of advice I’d give. If you’ve ever felt like gaming was causing tension in a relationship (on either side), this one’s for you.

What’s the difference between FPS and third-person shooters?

For the first time, I attempt defining gaming terms on my own. I break down what each one means, how they play differently, and what it feels like to experience them as a player. I also go over the different meanings of “FPS,” including frames per second, since it can get confusing.

I share my thoughts on both styles and which one I find easier to get into as a beginner.

Terms defined in this episode: FPS & Third-person shooter.
