    Still Loading #408: Long Island Retro Gaming Expo

    I have been told I NEED to go to Long Island Retro Gaming Expo for years now. And for years I kept making excuses like "Ohhhh I don't wanna drive through NYC" or "Ohhhhh hotels are dumb" etc. But let me tell you. They were all dumb excuses. This convention was amazing. On this episode I talk about my experience at the convention and you will also get to here from a number of really great guests about their experience at the convention! Make sure you follow all their stuff below! Check out Long Island Retro Gaming Expo HERE!

    Still Loading #407: Beyond the NES w/ Joe Bourrie

    The NES in North America got 677 games. In Japan there was over 1000 games released. In this episode I chat with returning guest Joe Bourrie to talk about a Kickstarter he has going on to get a book he has worked over 5 years on published, it's called "Beyond the NES". Beyond the NES is a curated look at games that came out on the Famicom only in Japan and have yet to be introduced to North American gamers in any meaningful way. This book is Joe's attempt to remedy that unfamiliarity and I would say does so REALLY well. I tasked Joe with finding comparable Famicom exclusive games to some of our more well known titles on the NES in North America. Love Zelda? There are some cool games we didn't get that you may like. What about Mega Man? There are a bunch of cool games that we didn't get that might scratch that itch. Beyond the NES is a great look into what we missed in North America on the NES and is well worth supporting.

    You all knew this coming. It HAD to happen. It's finally here. My nearly 3 hour episode on the new James Bond game, 007 First Light. I have been anticipating this game for quite some time and I'm not gonna lie ya'll it did not let me down even in the slightest. It lived up to all my hopes for it. Joining me to break down this game in all it's glory is returning friend of the show and fellow Bond fanatic Thrak from The 3DO Experience podcast and the Call of Duty Thrak Ops podcast. We talk about how this game feels like James Bond in every way possible. We talk about how the gameplay makes you feel like Bond, the sound design, the cinematic nature of the game and so much more. We do a big spoiler dive into the story of the game as well which we do shoutout clearly before we dive in. If you love James Bond like I do you will not want to miss this episode.
