    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.

Joining me to talk about the first expansion in WoW's long history is friend of the show Mick Arcade! We talk about our thoughts on the new races added, the new zones, flying and much more.

    Still Loading #334: World of Warcraft

    World of Warcraft is 20 years old! It's hard to believe Blizzard's wildly successful MMO has been around for that long but here we are. In this first episode of a 3 part celebration of World of Warcraft, I am joined by friends of the show Jamie and Tristan! Tristan is the one who got me into WoW so I am so happy to have him back on the show after a long time and Jamie is one of the biggest WoW fans I know. We discuss some of the history surrounding the game, our favorite memories, which zone we liked to hang out in, Barrens chat and so much more. Check back next week for an epsiode on Burning Crusade!

    Still Loading #333: The Nintendo DS w/ Bill Barber and Aidan Moher

    The 3rd pillar is officially 20 years old now! That's hard for me to stomach personally. I still feel like the system can't be that old but here we are. Joining me not to talk about feeling old but to celebrate all things Nintendo DS is author Aidan Moher and podcaster Bill Barber of the Gaming & Collecting Podcast. We had a wonderful conversation talking about the history of the console, it's legacy overall and also how much we wish game devs would try new ideas out like they did on the DS. Come celebrate 20 years of the DS with us!

    Still Loading Mini #42: The Legend of Zelda Cartoon E4

    Magic Ensues! This week the co-host with the mo-host Dexter Morrill returns to talk about the 4th episode of the Legend of Zelda cartoon. This was arguably the best episode of the show so far and that's not saying much cause so far the Zelda cartoon as been tough for us to watch. But never the less we talk about how magic ensues, wall witches, Gibdas and more!

    BONUS! Still Bonding #36: James Bond Movie Ranking

    It's a surprise BONUS episode! Over on my patreon for the last 2 years I've been doing a James Bond movie podcast called Still Bonding. All 25 Bond films have been covered and discussed in depth on there and I figured the best way to wrap the whole thing up was to do an "official" Bond movie ranking episode. Joining me to rank all 25 James Bond films are friends of the show Mel (birb.jamesbirb on Instagram) and Chris (britishbondaddict on Instagram). It took us nearly 4 hours to rank all of the films and this entire episode is not only out on Patreon like usual but also completely out in it's entirety for non-patrons! Follow along with our rankings and tell us what your personal Bond film ranking is. Follow Mel on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/birb.jamesbirb/ Follow Chris on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/britishbondaddict/ If you liked this episode and want to here ALL of the Still Bonding episodes sign up for my Patreon at the $5 level and get access to all 26 Still Bonding episodes along with over 70 Bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod Shout-out Song: Controlled Jazz Artist: Mustin, Scott Peeples Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00227 End Song: Facility (Hacker Mix) Artist: Scott Peeples Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00148 Get Still Loading Podcast merch! https://www.teepublic.com/user/still-loading-podcast Check out the Bit by Bit Foundation! https://www.bitbybitfoundation.org/

    Still Loading #332: Warhammer 40000 Boltgun w/ Ryan Kern

    From one patron poll to another! This week's episode was also voted for by my patrons for one of my quaterly patreon polls. This past quarter's theme was all boomer shooters. There were a lot of great games that could have won too, including the original Doom. But Warhammer 40000 Boltgun beat out the rest and joining me in all its space marine glory is friend of the show Ryan Kern. We talk about how the boomer shooter genre feels like it's been making a comeback, how this game shows off it's retro aesthetic and which weapons are arguably the best. It was a wonderful conversation about a game probably not a lot of people know about! Please note the music listed below is from the Boltgun soundtrack however that music is basically samples/snippets originally from the rock band D-Rok. If you would like to listen to D-Rok's only album please see below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGlza-6TwvE&list=PL4cW4wDSrvYODcM7VnzqfR9FPF6nMmlRD&index=1 Shout-out Song: Rock for the Emperor Artist: D-Rok Album: Boltgun Soundtrack https://youtu.be/7pfWF0I7D1k?si=4E-ydQ4sJLZEWhiv End Song: Aquilas For Nothing and the Sororitas for Free Artist: D-Rok Album: Boltgun Soundtrack https://youtu.be/d3WWvjjTTR0?si=kbYiqxXhtDio17C_ Get Still Loading Podcast merch! https://www.teepublic.com/user/still-loading-podcast Check out the Bit by Bit Foundation! https://www.bitbybitfoundation.org/ Support the Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod
