  • You know... I am not a fan of this Zelda cartoon. And just when I think Link can't get more problematic he finds a way. We are of course talking about episode 5 of the Legend of Zelda Cartoon, "Sing for the Unicorn". I am, as always, joined by my co-host with the mo-host Dexter Morrill to break it down. We talk about Link being more creepy than before, how Gannon likes to name various things, the opposite of the evil jar and much more!

  • Kicking off 2025 I am joined by my good friend Gabe Swarr to talk about a series of indie games he has made called the Bub-O games! The newest game in the series, Bub-O Burst, just came out so I wanted to have Gabe on to talk about his charming puzzle/action series! We are also joined by the composer for Bub-O Burst, a chiptune music legend, Seth Sternberger of 8 Bit Weapon!

    We talk about the all of the games in the Bub-O series, what it was like to shift gears to a slightly different genre for this new entry, it's music (which Seth goes into detail about it is quite possibly the first ever roguelike soundtrack for a game?) and much more!

  • The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that feels simultaneously ubiquitous and also unknown. It was the best selling home computer in the 80's and is loved the world over by a large group of passionate fans. But outside of that group it feels largely forgotten in the annals of gaming history. This episode is a small step in correcting that.

    I'm joined by game design professor and author Jesper Juul to talk about his recently released book "Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64", which is a book that aims to shed more light on one of the most important computer systems in not only gaming history but also computer history. Jesper and I have a wonderful conversation about why this book is needed, what kinds of things can readers expect to find in the book and some of my personal favorite sections. Maybe we just had a little too much fun with this conversation as well.

First is Ryan Kern of the newly formed Pixel Resistance Podcast (Follow on BlueSky HERE). Second is tech journalist, YouTube and author Matt Smith! We gather to talk all about The Wrath of the Lich King, how it was kind of the last hurrah for "Classic WoW" and how Blizzard learned various lessons from the previous iterations of the game and how it propelled the game (for better or worse) into it's next phase of existence.

  • The 3rd pillar is officially 20 years old now! That's hard for me to stomach personally. I still feel like the system can't be that old but here we are. Joining me not to talk about feeling old but to celebrate all things Nintendo DS is author Aidan Moher and podcaster Bill Barber of the Gaming & Collecting Podcast. We had a wonderful conversation talking about the history of the console, it's legacy overall and also how much we wish game devs would try new ideas out like they did on the DS. Come celebrate 20 years of the DS with us!

  • It's a surprise BONUS episode! Over on my patreon for the last 2 years I've been doing a James Bond movie podcast called Still Bonding. All 25 Bond films have been covered and discussed in depth on there and I figured the best way to wrap the whole thing up was to do an "official" Bond movie ranking episode. Joining me to rank all 25 James Bond films are friends of the show Mel (birb.jamesbirb on Instagram) and Chris (britishbondaddict on Instagram). It took us nearly 4 hours to rank all of the films and this entire episode is not only out on Patreon like usual but also completely out in it's entirety for non-patrons! Follow along with our rankings and tell us what your personal Bond film ranking is.

  • From one patron poll to another! This week's episode was also voted for by my patrons for one of my quaterly patreon polls. This past quarter's theme was all boomer shooters. There were a lot of great games that could have won too, including the original Doom. But Warhammer 40000 Boltgun beat out the rest and joining me in all its space marine glory is friend of the show Ryan Kern. We talk about how the boomer shooter genre feels like it's been making a comeback, how this game shows off it's retro aesthetic and which weapons are arguably the best. It was a wonderful conversation about a game probably not a lot of people know about!

    Please note the music listed below is from the Boltgun soundtrack however that music is basically samples/snippets originally from the rock band D-Rok. If you would like to listen to D-Rok's only album please see below:

  • To wrap up the first ever backlog month I am joined by friend of the show Mick Arcade to talk about Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII! This game brought out some varying emotions in me. At some points I really enjoyed my time with the game and was happy it got chosen. And then at other points I was frustrated beyond belief with how the story unfolds. But with this mix of feelings is it still worth playing Dirge of Cerberus in 2024? Is this really the most Nomura-ass game you will ever play? You will have to listen to find out!

  • Another hole in my backlog is filled! Well sort of. I'm joined by my original cohost with the mohost Justin to talk about the Sega classic ToeJam & Earl! This game was the only game I was not able to beat for backlog month. What was it about this game that made me not be able to finish it? It ended up being tough for me to answer but Justin and I break down a lot of the facets of this iconic game and what we felt ultimately still holds up and doesnt hold up all these years later.

We talk about Sega's follies leading up to the Dreamcast's launch, what the system did right and how unfortunate timing ultimately doomed the system.
