Just an Australian gaming podcast that covers anything from retro to modern gaming. A recent refresh from Ep 5 onwards (Sep 2023) will cover different topics and I'll be joined by a new guest each week. Game hunting in Tokyo, videogame music, salvaging CRTs, arcade ports...anything goes!
Older episodes (1-4) were focused on specific games and in-depth discussions.
If you get a semi for gaming, then look no further.

Ethics in Modern Gaming
In a slight change of pace this episode, my wife and I discuss some heavy topics of gaming in the modern landscape. Video game violence, parenting and gaming, representation, and the phallic undertones of giant swords.

CRT TVs
This episode we're talking CRTs. I'm joined by Paul, my go to CRT guy who insists he's not an expert, and we discuss why we prefer CRTs for retro gaming, consumer sets, PVMs, marketplace, and FPGA devices.
