I feel like I'm finally back in shape to make episodes regularly, and so this one I just had to throw it all out there. Let's talk about other drivers, animals on the road, and dumb decisions that ruin a game (or movie, or book) series for you. I had a lot to get off my chest - and most of it was the kind of goofy stream of consciousness shit you'd hear if you were trapped in an elevator with me - but it usually has some kind of ...
Nearly 3 decades ago a friend and I went to buy an album in the big city. What could possibly go wrong?
It's true, I love Golden Axe. The game. Although I've never had an actual golden axe. I can only assume that I would love that as well. I'll put it on my gift registry at Target.

Inspired by a binge watch of the first season of Initial D with my youngest I decided to play through some of the Initial D games and then bless you with my thoughts. Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (that's the sound that happens when you drift)
Some games are beautiful. Nice graphics, innovative gameplay, tight controls... 1942 has all of that. It also has "music" that makes you want to throw your ears in a bonfire.
In the year 1996 there was only one game that could hold the title of 12th most popular arcade game in Japan for the month of March - and that game was Neo Turf Masters. Buckle up and let's talk turf!
I hanker for a hunk of podcasting! My normal podcast recording environment has changed, which means I have to make some adjustments. In this episode I try to record while driving to work and talk about games, life, and that weird cartoon song convincing everyone to eat cheese...
Rev's here to tell you that coke isn't cool! The drink or the drug... or the imperfect combustion of coal. There's a kid out there that's all about the Coca-Cola though.
PS-I said Todd Howard when I meant Howard Phillips, the bowtie wearing knob from Nintendo. My apologies to Todd Howard who is the head of Bethesda studios. I've been playing a lot of Fallout lately...
Oh yes, Hunchback Olympic will give up its secrets.
Kung fu. I like it. The show with David Carradine? Yes. The epic movie genre? Of course. That video game? Uh... yeah. Come get your dose of Keanu kicking kung-fu today!
Swampy is a person, or an alligator, I think. Either way, Swampy has something to do with Frogger, his cosplaying wife, and their mutant children.
Hate is a strong word... stupid. It's stupid. Mermaids? Where and how did this happen?
Anyway, here's the long awaited, technologically challenged first episode that wasn't recorded while driving. ENJOY!
While driving home from a concert I pontificate on game difficulty, pinball, appropriate driving speeds, and all manner of noises from my phone, my nav, and myself.
Impromptu episode while driving, kind of discussing Battletoads and the Stamper Brothers, the founders of Rare.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
