" Series: Your Story Universe: Vanderpump Rules with Sean Clements"
" Michael Jackson's Moonwalker with Zach Reino and Jessica McKenna" " Vroom in the Night Sky with Ify Nwadiwe" " Hatoful Boyfriend with Mano Agapion and Betsy Sodaro" Shaun suggested this be Wiger's catchphrase, which Wiger then adapted. During an episode with Shaun Diston and Scott Aukerman, Diston brought up his previous appearance for the game Catherine and how the game will yell "edge!" during the puzzle portions of the game, much to the gamer's annoyance. He used the example "Heather and Matt are cool." The audience subsequently trolled Wiger by suggesting "Heather and Matt are cool" over and over again. As a result of the rebranding in 2022, Campbell has decided to save "Welcome Back Bucket" for special occasions and is currently trying to come up with a new catchphrase.ĭuring the beginning phases of the show, Wiger became jealous of Campbell and Apodaca with their rein over catchphrases at the top of the show and implored the audience to give him a good idea for a catchphrase. After playing Wattam and being tickled by the phrase "Welcome Back Bucket," Campbell decided it was too wholesome not to repeat at the top of the show. After Matt Apodaca says the phrase, Campbell now repeats it. Early in the show, Apodaca would start the show simply saying "hello, everyone." For reasons unknown, the audience would become very upset if he did not say "hello, everyone" precisely this way every time. The show's opening begins with a string of catchphrases that developed from several video game encounters and humorous inside jokes that resulted in the show's canon. In the "Heather's Hole" segment, Heather Anne Campbell reaches into "the deep, gaping maw that is her video game collection", and retrieves a lesser known title to discuss. In "The Question Block", the hosts read questions submitted by listeners and give their answers, inviting the guest to answer as well. In the "Maybe We Were Wrong" segment, the hosts and producer take turns reading reviews opposite of their own opinions. In "Review Crew", the hosts and guests each take turns sharing a positive comment about the game, as well as their own verbal review summary, and a numerical score on a scale from zero to 1 million.
In "What Are You Playing?", formerly "70 Seconds in Video Game Heaven", one of the three hosts establish what their week in video games has been that they were enjoying. The show has several featured segments in each episode, including: The show was originally conceived of as a Star Wars podcast, and a pilot episode on that theme was recorded, before it was decided to focus on video games instead. The show initially took the same tone of discussion as podcast network Earwolf's How Did This Get Made?, a podcast celebrating bad movies, and was originally perceived as a spin-off. Each episode opens with a theme song by engineer Devon Torrey Bryant that remixes music of the game from that week's episode into the show's theme music. The hosts and guests give their reviews of the game, and read contrary and often comedic reviews of the game found online. The hosts and guests play the game ahead of the episode, then talk about the experience, the community, and the context surrounding the game. The former usually includes one or more guests, often people involved in comedy who also have an interest in video games. Įach episode either focuses on a particular game or features general discussion about gaming. On Januthe podcast changed formats to shift away from intentionally playing bad games, in part to improve the experience for guests and the hosts. Apodaca was originally brought in solely as the show's producer, but ended up factoring into discussions so much that he was eventually made a co-host. Get Played (formerly How Did This Get Played?) is an audio podcast that follows Heather Anne Campbell, Nick Wiger and Matt Apodaca as they discuss and review video games, with early episodes focusing on weird or bad games.
