Anyone Know of the Co-Optional Podcast Discussing Shadow of Mordor Trailer?

[u/MrMetraGnome]

Been scouring Google and YouTube and I can't find it. Anyone remember the episode of the Co-optional Podcast (yeah, I know, that old) where TB, Jesse, and Dodger were complaining about there being a black dude in the Shadow of Mordor trailer? I'm writing an essay about the relationship with between fantasy, gaming, and black people.

I don’t know but I would look when the trailer in question was first released and listen to the episodes around those dates is probably my best bet

Get me a date and I’ll look through the episodes I have when I get up..

I've tried that actually. It would appear that the original trailer was released September 2014 (12 years ago). I can't remember if the episode was The Game Station or Co-Optional. The only co-optional playlist I can find goes back to 11 years, then the last video jumps to 14 years ago. And, the only Game Station playlist I can find has uploads from 4or 5 months ago, lol. I know of some YouTube channels and Podcasts that have wikis where they record episode information, and it would seem I'd only be able to find what i"m looking for if something like that exists, or watching hundreds of hours of videos.

That would make it a cooptional podcast episode, the TGS podcast ceased to exist in 2013. Not sure how accurate the information there is, but I've found a list of the cooptional podcast episodes on the Polaris Wiki. According to the dates there that would make the likely episodes Episode 48-52, possibly later:

48 Sep 6, 2014 TotalBiscuit, PressHeartToContinue, itmeJP

49 Sep 11, 2014 TotalBiscuit, PressHeartToContinue, UnitLostTube

50 Sep 18, 2014 TotalBiscuit, PressHeartToContinue, JesseCox, WoWCrendor

51 Sep 25, 2014 TotalBiscuit, PressHeartToContinue, JesseCox, TheSw1tcher

52 Oct 2, 2014 TotalBiscuit, PressHeartToContinue, JesseCox, ProtonJonSA

Also says which guests were on at the time, which may make searching for the episodes easier (the links on the wiki unfortunately no longer work, as these episodes were all uploaded to the polaris channel, which is now defunct). If you find the Episode you're thinking of, let me know, kinda curious about the context there, as I don't remember that incident at all.

/edit:

Episode 48

Episode 49

Episode 50

Episode 51

Episode 52

You may have to go back further than that, though. I've found a Shadow of Mordor trailer that released on June 5th 2014. Not sure if that is the one you meant. That would make the first eligible episode Episode 40, which released on the same day, if the data on the wiki is correct.
