Yes, almost nothing at E3 was retro, but this is it for those podcasts and shows on our retro feed.  Promise.

Extra Credit: Retro at E3 2015

leave a comment »

E3_2015

To our shock and wonder, there were things announced at this E3 that we never expected.  Without spoiling them here, let’s just say that if you’ve ever dreamed of a sequel or remake and told it would never happen, there’s a chance it may have been announced at E3.  Listen in as Fred and Jam talk about the powerhouse announcements from those of us who’ve been asking for decades.

Podcast: Evolution of the Controller

From joysticks to buttons, d-pads to should triggers, analogs to dual analogs, the video game controller has gone through some interesting and groundbreaking evolution over the course of gaming.  More shocking than each one’s look is the fact that we all learned how to use them to conquer some of gaming’s toughest titles.

Podcast: Majora’s Mask Game Club (Part 2)

leave a comment »

mm_logo_post

This week Fred and Jam wrap up Majora’s Mask with the final two dungeons, the ending, and probably the biggest draw to the game, the side quests. It’s a lengthy discussion that goes down to the wire but definitely demonstrates a game that while not appreciated in its time but can have a second life now.  Part 1 can be found here.

Top 10 Playstation Portable (PSP) Games Debate and Reveal

with 4 comments

psp_1000_big

For this month, Jam and Fred are discussing the top 10 games for the Playstation Portable (PSP). Despite being an emulation and piracy machine from the moment it released, the PSP is not only an impressive piece of hardware but it also provided a library of great software. Clearly some games stand out on both our lists but what was most impressive were the rock solid titles that one of us never even knew existed.  If you look at the full article you can see our top 10 without listening to the podcast.

Podcast: Majora’s Mask Game Club (Part 1)

with 2 comments

mm_logo_post

The recent re-release of one of the Legend of Zelda series more unique entries, Majora’s Mask, sparked our interest enough to do a game club on a title none of us had honestly played. We got more than we bargained for with a unique and enchanting title that we were only able to discuss the first half of in this week’s show. Part 1 deals with the development, release, and intro to the game through the second dungeon, with the end and side quests coming next week.

Podcast: Length Matters

leave a comment »

game_length_post

In honor of the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this week is dedicated to games that are either long experiences or that we spent a long amount of time with.  Contrary to what you may be thinking, this is not a podcast about RPGs and MMOs as it turns out our hosts have spent a large amount of time with some of the shorter games of the past.  Either way it’s an interesting conversation about some favorites and some relatively obscure titles.
