Good stuff. 56:23 – We are climbing the ladder to nowhere and we’d like you to join us.

139 – A Blue Slime Approaches!

Original air date: June 8, 2015 Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) Our interlude track was “Dream Fighter” by Scott Peeples Show Notes 22:41 – Listener email discussion question “Long before your favorite classic game was known by all, and you were the only kid on your block who knew about it…was there a particular moment while playing when you thought, ‘This game is going to be one that people still remember twenty years from now’?” 38:11 – “Dream Fighter” by Scott Peeples 40:57 – Retro Showdown! 47:15 – Bailey’s pick “Dragon Warrior” (NES) 48:20 – Hunter’s pick “The Revenge of Shinobi” (Sega Genesis) 49:38 – Jason’s pick “Bushido Blade” (PS1) 50:38 – Bamboo is a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen plants in the grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. In bamboos, the internodal regions of the stem are hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, even of palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering. It can also be used for killing. 1:08:46 – And the tide rolls on. Have your participated in the show? You know we have a segment that is dedicated to you, the listener. It’s a vital part of our show and we really can’t do it without you. So why not help us out with a listener email? And while you’re at it, vote for your favorite game in the showdown poll and tell a friend. Remember: Secrets don’t make friends. And bamboo can be super dangerous.

138 – The Revenge of Alpaca 2: Hellpaca

Original air date: June 1, 2015 Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) Our interlude track was “The Simple Complex” by UncleBibby Show Notes 23:15 – Crazy Game Idea! 34:52 – “The Simple Complex” by UncleBibby 38:32 – Retro Showdown! 41:28 – Bailey’s pick “Hydlide” (NES) 42:55 – Hunter’s pick “Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!” (NES) 44:05 – Jason’s pick “Roommania 203” (SEGA Dreamcast) 45:29 – If time has shown us anything, it’s that video games that include guns are way better than anything else in the world. True statement. Going back over our library of old video games, we think we’ve got a few more that we can put under the “gun umbrella” that would benefit for having such firearms. Or arms of fire… fiery arms? 1:03:09 – Sure, Crazy Game Idea is fun and all but what’s really fun is hearing from you, the listener. So send us those emails and darn it, we’ll even read them on the air. That’s right. For the low, low price of sending us mail, you’ll be sponsored on the show promoting anything you’ve got going on. Unless it’s the sale of fiery arms. I’ve heard they are illegal in this dimension.

Even in our video games. This week’s theme is a dedication to them. Which game would they bring to the showdown? It won’t end well for some. Namely me, I’m guess. Oh, well. I still love her. 1:03:20 – Man! Do you know you can enjoy this kind of high level retro intensity for nothing? We do like to ask that you tell your friends. Word of mouth is huge for us.

And you can be too with your vote for your favorite in the showdown poll. We’re finally keeping track so your vote means more now than ever. We can’t let the Communist Jason Lamb win, can we? Well, he already is, but that can be stopped! Only you have the power!

Original air date: April 27, 2015 It’s left to age in a morph ball for at least a year! Metroid graphic from Gibdo_Knight on Photobucket. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) Our interlude track was “Thunderstruck” by Big Giant Circles, some1namedjeff Show Notes 21:27 – Listener email discussion question “Hunter: I remember you once saying you hated the double jump mechanic, but I can’t remember why. Please enlighten me, as you may actually sway my opinion with your voice. Jason: I’ll probably agree with you on this, but I hate playing FPS games with a gamepad. Ugh. Could you take a minute and explain to everyone why mouse and keyboard is better than a gamepad for FPS titles. Bailey: Hotline Miami looks really awesome. If this game had been released in the 80s with all of it’s violence intact, would it have set off the public firestorm over gaming violence like Mortal Kombat did, or would it’s pixelated graphics keep people from throwing a hissy fit? One last thing for all of you, describe the perfect ice cream sundae.” 34:36 – “Thunderstruck” by Big Giant Circles, some1namedjeff 37:10 – Retro Showdown! 41:10 – Bailey’s pick “Metroid” (NES) 42:29 – Hunter’s pick “Dragon Breed” (Arcade) 44:04 – Jason’s pick “God of War” (PS2) 45:01 – Lights, camera, Action 52!

The great ones that may never see the light of day. 1:01:57 – Well, things continue to be a surprise here on 1 More PodCastle. And we hope you interact with us. I mean, we have an entire portion that is dedicated on your support. Get your questions to us! And please vote for your favorite title in the showdown poll.
