Badical

Reliving the history of Badical brings me back to my childhood. Fighting my way through the arcade horde to dare to challenge the champion- glued to the control sticks by his own sweat, doomed to forever battle to stay on top, for defeat would mean a painful removal of his pallid plan skin I can still remember the desperation behind that poor twelve year old’s eyes… ahh childhood

And dude, where can I get those waffles?

I can’t believe that no one in my life remembers this game. I loved it as a kid and Tom and Dave bring all those memories crashing back. Also, I stole from the Rodfather and he never caught me.

To clarify, I am not deaf nor hard of hearing. When I was 8 years old, I received Badical as a Christmas gift but never got to open it as it did not deem me "Badicaliciously worthy". I'll always remember those words because those were the last sounds I ever heard as the game opened a portal my eyes and mind could not comprehend. After the portal closed, I was left without the sense of sound. Numerous doctors examined my ears and deemed them operationally functional. Various therapists posed my loss of sound might be psychological. But I knew Badical took my sense of hearing for commiting the sin of assuming I was worthy of even it's presence in the same realm. I hope one day to earn my sense of sound back so that I may listen to this podcast as well as my three children's voices. I have been told they have angelic tones. But I may never know until Badical deems me worthy of restoring my sense of sound.
