This week our friend Sam "RetroReject" Hayes fills in for Dustin who is again off galivanting around the Forgotten Realms. We discuss the hardware that has powered the video game industry, from the Golden Age of Arcades, through the Video Game Crash of 1983, the Console Wars, the transition to CD-ROM format, and other pivotal moments in video game history. Note: We're sorry about the mic doubling that starts popping up 30ish minutes in... Definitely going to troubleshoot that this week.

Episode 101: Testing everything and doing fly-bys on all our topics.
The debut of our new podcast! We work out all the bugs, introduce ourselves, and briefly hit all the topics we plan to discuss in the podcast. We don't dig deep into anything, this episode is more of a 30,000 foot view of all our interests, and we'll dig deeper in future episodes into the topics ya'll want us to focus on. Also it seems like we need to make the trivia questions easier!
