ProcGens S2 E7: Halo 4

Join @LubWub and @CalamityXTJane as they dig into what happened in those 5 years, where we are now, and what that means for Chief and Cortana.

ProcGens S2 E5: Halo ODST

In Episode 5 Caleb and Christy dig into Bungie's first departure from the Master Chief, the stylish and moody Halo ODST.

ProcGens S2 Preview: Halo Outpost Discovery

On August 2nd, 3rd, and 4th your hosts had the opportunity to go to Halo Outpost Discovery in Chicago, an event put on by 343 Industries that created a real life Halo experience. With a couple of Media badges and a measurable ton of excitement, the duo set off into the Outpost Discovery. What they found there was awe inspiring, emotional, and very personal.

ProcGens S1 E7: Florence (Finale)

A little more than a year ago Caleb’s grandfather, Christy’s husband, passed away unexpectedly. As the doctors were transitioning him between floors in the ICU, our two hosts took a moment to distract themselves with what they assumed would be a fun, quirky mobile game. Yet upon completing Florence, they realized that what they had experienced was far more important.

Procedural Generations S1 E6: Anthem

We have finished going through the Mass Effect titles, games that we loved so much. Now it is time to turn our focus to Anthem, the most recent - and perhaps most maligned - release from developer BioWare. @CalamityXTJane and @LubWub both played Anthem. They wanted to give it a chance. But something about it just felt so…un-BioWare.

Procedural Generations S1 E5: Mass Effect Andromeda

We had to wait 5 years after Mass Effect 3 for another title in the series. After the end of Mass Effect 3, fans were curious which direction the series would go. The answer? The Andromeda Galaxy. Join Caleb (@LubWub) and Christy (@CalamityXTJane) on this week’s #ProcGens as they discuss forging a new path in a new galaxy.

Procedural Generations S1 E4: Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 3 was…divisive. The culmination of a trilogy, it had a lot to tie up. Many weren’t pleased with the ending. On this episode of #ProcGens Caleb (@LubWub) and Christy (@CalamityXTJane) discuss how they felt wrapping up Commander Shepard’s story. The good and the bad, the heart breaking and the endearing.

Procedural Generations S1 E3: Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 is widely agreed upon as one of the best games released in the last console generation. For @CalamityXTJane it was her first journey into the @masseffect series. That first taste would create a love for a deep and lore filled universe. This week on #ProcGens, Caleb (@LubWub) and Christy talk about how how much they loved the follow up to Mass Effect.

Procedural Generations S1 E2: Mass Effect

In this episode of #ProcGens Caleb (@LubWub) and Christy (@CalamityXTJane) dive into the game that started it all: Mass Effect. The Mass Effect series holds a very special place in our family’s heart. The first title is where it started for most of us, but it is obviously where the universe started.
