Podcast: Wolfenstein
This week features a massive three hours dedicated largely to the Wolfenstein franchise. Most are probably aware of the more recent shooters and the 90s game from id, but there’s a lot more to tell about this somewhat underappreciated series. Fred and Jam start with the original title on the Apple II and move all the way to the upcoming sequel this Friday. Segment 2 is all about community questions and segment 3 wraps things up with some neo-retro gaming from both hosts.
GHX Ep. 18: Technical Disaster
This week Fred and Trees return with a new format, but the same great content. Main topics include games that we return to and Fred’s lack of loot box thrills, followed by 5 of the community’s “lightening round” topics, and then getting to know your hosts. Don’t think we forgot “Just Stop” because it’s there too.
Podcast: Psycho Break
This week Fred and Jam finally reunite to get back to what they do best: talk old games. There’s a brief intro, a new schedule for podcasts, and a slightly new format (don’t worry, topics are still the first section), but otherwise it’s back to basics. In preparation for this week’s sequel, they are discussing The Evil Within, or Psycho Break as it’s known in Japan. The incredible art design, sordid plot, and hodgepodge gameplay are all put under a microscope, as is the game’s origins. After that it’s some discussions on community feedback and what the boys have been up to over the last month.
