every 3rd person video game ever made: “it seems like you’re trying to zoom in to target a distant enemy. would you like instead for the entire screen to be covered by an extreme close up of the plants/wall directly behind you?”

Really cool episode with a really fucking cool artist! I spend the first ten minutes talking about labor rights issues in the video game industry! Researching, writing, recording, and editing this made me insane! Give it a listen! Enjoy!

We have a very silly time talking about music we like, the memories this game gave us, and also how you can observe the ways gaming has transformed over the last two decades just by following the history of Harmonix as a company. Give it a listen!

This is a really lovely episode with a lovely guest. Super Mario RPG is a wonderful game We spend a lot of time talking about Dragon Ball and Chrono Trigger in this. We recorded this convo mid-February, weeks before Toriyama died. His work is so foundational and important to us.

In the late-80s, Capcom released two versions of a racer with vehicular combat. One of them, Rally 2011 LED Storm, featured a talking robot car that also transformed into a motorcycle, and saw you racing a rival across destroyed roads full of holes and oil slicks and angry drivers. It rocks.

In 1991, Konami released a Famicom game where a penguin threatened to leave her penguin boyfriend if he didn't lose the weight he'd put on since their last game. Yume Penguin Monogatari has a weird — and mean —premise that shapes its genuinely enjoyable gameplay. This one requires some explanation.
