    Still Loading #387: Super Mario Bros. w/ Try from My Life in Gaming and Ashton Ruby

    The theme for Mario Month this year is back to the classics and I figured what better way to celebrate the Super Mario series than to start out with the OG, The Super Mario Bros. Joining me on this episode are returning guests Ashton Ruby from the Podcurious and Retro Hangover podcasts as well as Try from the YouTube channel My Life in Gaming. The 3 of us stroll down memory lane and chat about the game that kicked of the Super Mario series in earnest and just how much this game means to us all these years later. We chat about it's enduring legacy and how it is still fun to play today despite some flaws here an there. What else more could be said about Mario? Well we try our damndest to say it.

    Still Loading #386: Hitman (2016) w/ Seth from Classic Gaming Brothers

    The finale of The Road to First Light series is here. I am beyond excited for the upcoming James Bond game from IO Interactive and to close out this series I thought it would be appropriate to discuss at least one game that IO developed, the game that got me into the Hitman series, Hitman 2016. I am joined by Seth from the Classic Gaming Brothers podcast to talk about why this game is so damn good. What makes it unique compared to most other 3rd person action games out there and how it feels like IO is the perfect fit for the Bond license. So grab some coins and some bad acting lessons and join us for this wonderful discussion on Hitman.

    Still Loading #385: Everything or Nothing w/ Bill Barber and Thrak

    We have arrived at the last Bond game being covered in this Road to First Light series. This week on the show we are talking James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing and joining me are two friends who are giving me everything and taking nothing, Bill Barber and Thrak from the 3DO Experience podcast among many others. This one had some spicier takes than normal on the show. I know this game is beloved by a lot of fans but this one did not do it for me. Thrak and Bill were kind enough to help balance out my views on it though. We talk about what this game does well and what it doesn't, we talk about how much of a Bond game is it really and of course we talk about the wild story that seems to be a staple of the Bond games thus far. Is this game everything or nothing for you!? Check out the behind the scenes article I found on Everything or Nothing! https://www.commander007.net/2020/everything-or-nothing-inside-look-on-the-development-of-the-game/ Check out all of Bill's shows HERE!

    Be careful 007 otherwise you may get caught up in the... NIGHTFIRE! Ok bad parody of a 90s board game commerical jingle aside, this week we are talking about James Bond 007: Nightfire! I'm joined by friends of the show Mike Laine from the Switch 2 the Past Podcast and Chris (aka The British Bond Addict) to talk about, what is in my opinion, the BEST James Bond game (at least so far).
