    Episode 145: Our Top Ten Console Games

    Yeah, yeah, we know. “NEW EPISODE SO SOON?!?” Due to the logistical nightmare we all call life, our originally scheduled topic had to be postponed, so instead, after realizing we haven’t done an off-topic episode in a while, maybe we should change our pace for a bit, and here we are. Thank you all for … Continue reading Episode 145: Our Top Ten Console Games →

    Ghosts ‘n Goblins and Monster Bash

    Ghosts ‘n Goblins and Monster Bash

    Just in time for Portland Retro Gaming Expo (kinda), we present episode 141! This time, instead of the usual booing from people listening, the boos we here are from the spooky creatures that come herewith and thereto and therein with two creepy-themed games. Join us for our usual reviews, commentary, and side-splitting hair-raising banter!

    Episode 140: Astro Invader (redux) and Astro Fighter

    Episode 140: Astro Invader (redux) and Astro Fighter

    Rumor has it that episode 141 has been released. Well, we’re here to completely dispel that rumor: it’s actually episode 140 that’s been released. But not even a party band outside of Pie Factory Podcast’s south headquarters could prevent Jimmy G from bringing you all the important news about a couple of 40-something-year-old video games, … Continue reading Episode 140: Astro Invader (redux) and Astro Fighter →

Great for beginners

As someone who grew up when gamecubes and wiis were the norm and was a bit older when arcades became more mainstream this is a great podcast for beginners. And yes Jimmy G is more dorky in real life than he is in the podcast.

Great Gaming Podcast with Colorful Personal Stories

This is a rare podcast which has found right mix game information and colorful stories about how the hosts are connected to the games. This is one of those casts where sum is more then it parts!

Great show and great hosts

This podcast provides just enough info and entertainment of classic arcade games. Not too geeky and not too surface level. The hosts also have a great rapport with one another. They finish each other’s sentences, make fun of one another and have some inside jokes but even those are accessible to any loyal listeners. Each show discusses ins and outs of 2 classic games which usually have some obscure connection to each other. I have a full arcade cabinet and MAME of every single arcade game so I enjoy playing the games they discuss in each episode while I listen for helpful walkthrough, tips and observations.
