Hair of the Dogcast

A podcast about Video Games and Beer.  And Beer and Video Games.

Hair of the Dogcast is a family of podcasts celebrating our love for gaming and craft beer.  Our show include the following:

The Dogcast - The classic, tried and true.  The Dogcast covers the most recent news and developments in the gaming world.  We discuss what we have been playing and have a light topic discussion.

Raw Dogs - The Raw Dogs like to go deep.  Deep discussions in lore, development, and gameplay.  Single topic.  Deep discussion.

Elden Dogs - An Elden Ring podcast series that explores the deep world-building and gameplay scenarios presented by this rich video game.  We couldn't help ourselves and had to make a 20 part series to celebrate this game.

Beer and Now - Welcome to Beer and Now, our new podcast series about the exciting world of craft beer and the people who make it happen.

The Dogcast 77 - NO FORTNITE. NO HALO. NO PROBLEM?

Aug 21, 2020

Whew! You know, we always thought summer was supposed to be a chill, happy time of the year.  A time to lie back, crack open a tasty brew and enjoy the calm before the super-craziness of the fall.  But these are strange times indeed and the world of video games has been rocked by a big bunch o' bombshell headlines this past week! 

Apple and Google have yanked Fortnite from their app stores--and Epic Games has filed a potentially industry-changing lawsuit in turn.  But is Epic doing the right thing and should we care?  It's a real "David and Goliath" story of how one "tiny" multi-billion dollar company is trying to go after the trillion dollar "big guys".  Strap in kids, it's a real whopper of a tale and The Dogcast is here to talk all about it.  Oh, and did we mention Microsoft delayed Halo: Infinite indefinitely?  Yeah, that happened.  And that's not even all that happened!

And on top of THAT, we are excited to be joined this week by not one, but TWO of our favorite guest-hosts in the whole Dogcast world: Executive producers Allyson Smith and Kate Kante!  And we go places.

Also on this episode:

- Hear the musings of the last person on earth (Tom) to finally watch all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

- Wes Anderson's Bioshock 4?!

- Okami gets revisited.

- Someone may have played over 1800 hours of The Sims. 

- The quintessence of Paul Rudd.

- Street Fighter loses a producer.

- Serial Killers vs. Crimes of Passion.  The debate rages on.

- Tsushima is the Ghostest with the Mostest.

And much more!
