Hosts | Ashton & Cassie (Cassie is fashionably late today) Guests | Dylan Speaks & Aaron Stranger
Game Preservation | We kick things off with a spotlight on GOG (Good Old Games), celebrating its DRM-free philosophy and its role in preserving gaming history.
Games | Bioshock 4, Star Wars Outlaws, Halo & Helldivers Crossover, and a new Resident Evil film directed by Zach Gregor, which promises a fresh narrative outside the franchise’s usual character arcs—while staying loyal to the game’s core mechanics
Amazon’s Kindle Policy Changes | Amazon will now block users from downloading eBooks to their computers. We explore the ripple effects on older devices, third-party software users, and low-income communities—tying it into a broader trend of media access restrictions and the rise of subscription-based ecosystems.
Video Rental Stores are Back | Now reimagined with coffee bars and community vibes, video rental stores seem to be making a resurgence. We share memories of browsing shelves and bonding over VHS tapes, contrasting it with the isolating overload of modern streaming platforms.
The Kids Love Old Tech | We reflect on the growing fascination with analog tech among Gen Z. From cassette players to dial-up internet, we explore why younger generations are craving simplicity in an age of constant connectivity—and what the decline of physical media means for our cultural memory.
