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 79 - Indie Games: The Podcast.

Sep 17, 2020

We love Indie games! In recent years, Indie games have experienced an incredible trajectory: what used to be relatively obscure--yet deeply beloved--games developed and self-published by a handful of passionate people have since rocketed through the mainstream gaming stratosphere and are now played (and in most cases, still deeply beloved) by millions. In fact, many of gameplay innovations happening in triple-A games today have their roots in and have originally been explored in Indie titles. And in many cases, what started out as Indie games have now become some of the biggest franchises in the world--lookin' at you Minecraft.

And today The Dogcast celebrates them!

Also on this episode:
- We celebrate the 35th Birthday of Super Mario Bros! But...has Nintendo crossed the line with its fans?!
- We'll talk about Microsoft's "leaky" next-gen console reveal.
- Um, Beetleborgs?
- Dylan reviews the Indie title "Astrozombies" and begins a career in stand-up comedy.
- Tony Hawk 1+2 Remake
- We drink and give our thoughts on some great brews--including Drekker Brewing's Chonk Birthday Cake Sour.
...And much more!
