    Still Loading #341: The Last Guardian w/ Dave Jackson

    The Last Guardian has been on my backlog list for quite a while and never got around to it until now. I'm joined by friend of the show Dave Jackson from Tales From the Backlog to discuss the third game in this makeshift trilogy from Fumita Ueda. Ueda has a very different approach to game design compared to the rest of the industry and Dave and I had a great time being able to break this one down. We discuss how this game doesn't respect your time and why that's a good thing in this instance, why Trico is such an amazing character, the world building and lots more!

    Still Loading #340: EverQuest w/ Matt Smith

    Some games burn brightly and flame out. Others have a long tail where people are consistently discovering it years after it launched. Everquest is one of those odd cases where both of those outcomes are true. Joining me today is author and tech journalist Matt Smith to talk about his recently released book from Boss Fight Books all about Everquest. We talk about why he chose to write about Everquest, what about the game captivated him back in the day and presently, Everquest's place in game history and how it could have possibly been saved from the juggernaut that was World of Warcraft.

    Still Loading Mini #44: The Legend of Zelda Cartoon E5

    You know... I am not a fan of this Zelda cartoon. And just when I think Link can't get more problematic he finds a way. We are of course talking about episode 5 of the Legend of Zelda Cartoon, "Sing for the Unicorn". I am, as always, joined by my co-host with the mo-host Dexter Morrill to break it down. We talk about Link being more creepy than before, how Gannon likes to name various things, the opposite of the evil jar and much more!

    Still Loading #339: Bub-O Series w/ Gabe Swarr and Seth Sternberger

    Kicking off 2025 I am joined by my good friend Gabe Swarr to talk about a series of indie games he has made called the Bub-O games! The newest game in the series, Bub-O Burst, just came out so I wanted to have Gabe on to talk about his charming puzzle/action series! We are also joined by the composer for Bub-O Burst, a chiptune music legend, Seth Sternberger of 8 Bit Weapon! We talk about the all of the games in the Bub-O series, what it was like to shift gears to a slightly different genre for this new entry, it's music (which Seth goes into detail about it is quite possibly the first ever roguelike soundtrack for a game?) and much more!

    The Mario Super Show is back with episode 5 and let me tell you this one is anything but tame. Dexter Morrill joins me to dive into the episode  as usual and boy howdy does it go places.

    Still Loading #337: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64 w/ Jesper Juul

    The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that feels simultaneously ubiquitous and also unknown. It was the best selling home computer in the 80's and is loved the world over by a large group of passionate fans. But outside of that group it feels largely forgotten in the annals of gaming history. This episode is a small step in correcting that. I'm joined by game design professor and author Jesper Juul to talk about his recently released book "Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64", which is a book that aims to shed more light on one of the most important computer systems in not only gaming history but also computer history. Jesper and I have a wonderful conversation about why this book is needed, what kinds of things can readers expect to find in the book and some of my personal favorite sections. Maybe we just had a little too much fun with this conversation as well.

    Still Loading #336: World of Warcraft - The Wrath of the Lich King w/ Ryan Kern and Matt Smith

    The finale of the World of Warcraft series is here! Joining me to discuss the second expansion of the game are two wonderful returning guests! First is Ryan Kern of the newly formed Pixel Resistance Podcast (Follow on BlueSky HERE). Second is tech journalist, YouTube and author Matt Smith! We gather to talk all about The Wrath of the Lich King, how it was kind of the last hurrah for "Classic WoW" and how Blizzard learned various lessons from the previous iterations of the game and how it propelled the game (for better or worse) into it's next phase of existence.
