Iron Tank: Resurrection Sunday [VIDEO]
For this very first episode of Resurrection Sunday I play Iron Tank, a game I remember as being host to the first time I ever stayed up all night playing a video game. I also learned what a password was by playing this game.

Bloodborne, Adventure, and the Easter Egg: a Case for the Origin of the Video Game Community [VIDEO]
What if Bloodborne owes a lot to Adventure, a game on the Atari 2600 from 1979? I make a case for the Easter egg—a hidden reference or inside joke in a video game—as the impetus to a player/developer dependent video games like Bloodborne.Am I right? Am I wrong? Let me know your thoughts in the […]

Run, Jump, Shoot: Growing up Metroid [VIDEO]
Metroid was the first videogame I ever owned. That alone should warrant some nostalgia, but mix with it the fact that my mother and father divorced with I was five, and Metroid was one of the few post-split gifts from my father, the game becomes more than just a game. It becomes a symbol of […]

A Murder of Codes – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP06
When I was growing up, meeting people on the internet was simultaneously a social death wish and a real life death wish. Generally, things that are perceived as dangerous (such as climbing the highest in a tree or, more specific to this topic, being in the same room with strangers who apparently have trouble making […]

Something OnClicked() for me – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP05
Please don’t hate me for my lack of new episodes lately. Before you judge, please hear me out…I was playing a video game. Normally, that would not be a great excuse, but it kinda makes sense here, right? I mean, I am learning to make games. It would be like wanting to be a chef […]

What’s a Game Engine? – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP04
In this week’s episode I start off by apologizing for this not being a weekly podcast. Oops. But then I quickly(ish) get into my progress with Unity, with C#, an update on my newest game project, and I even have time to talk a bit about what a game engine is (see, the title of […]

The Beginner’s Guide game and being comfortable with ignorance – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP03
In this week’s episode I dig a bit into the game The Beginner’s Guide. While The Deaf Duck is not a game review podcast, The Beginner’s Guide touches on an aspect of creation (any creation really, but in this case video games) that’s often discussed but rarely (that I know of) with the video game […]

Nouns, Verbs, and Classes – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP02
Welcome back to The Deaf Duck Podcast, where I, Caleb, document my journey with Unity3D from absolute beginner to +1 absolute beginner, which is still a beginner….ha, math jokes. Absolute. My primary motivation for this podcast is to keep me motivated within the world of intimidating coding forums and unfair anger toward those of us […]

About me and why I care about Unity – The Deaf Duck Podcast EP01
Hey’s it’s another podcast from Caleb J. Ross (me)! I know, I know, that exclamation point is totally warranted. Join me as I delve into the world of Unity (the 3D game development engine, not the concept of emotional togetherness). I know almost nothing about programming, but I love video games. And you know what […]
