Episode 85: Stardew Valley
2024/11/27
Eric, Nicky, and special guest: Suzanne Gunning talk about boys, dating, and where they prefer to shop in an episode all about Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is a 2016 farm life simulation role-playing game developed by ConcernedApe. The player character inherits their deceased grandfather's dilapidated farm in the town of Stardew Valley. Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc. Follow us on  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Credits: Nicky Smith Eric Luedtke Special Guest: Suzanne Gunning Music by Mark Spurlock and Eric Luedtke References: ⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardew_Valley⁠ ⁠https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki⁠ ⁠https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fortnite/stardew-valley-creator-eric-barone-has-been-trying-to-make-a-fortnite-crossover-happen-and-already-has-a-few-ideas-i-would-be-open-to-anything/⁠ ⁠https://www.pcgamesn.com/haunted-chocolatier/release-date⁠
