GEA - SAG 516: Talking With The Immortal John Hancock

John joins us for a chat!

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris were joined by The Immortal John Hancock! John was nice enough to come on the show and chat all about his YouTube channel, how he got started, his love of retro games, and more. He also went into the process of publishing his Atari 2600 physical and digital games, and was genuinely a nice fella. What a guy! At the top of the show, all three of our hosts went on about just how difficult it is to find time to play games when there’s all this “adulting” to do! But Dan did manage to find his regular time for MArvel Snap and PAD, while Kris and John talked about their time with Goliath Depot, a great indie game with a frankly terrible name. Finally, in Week Old News, Atari buys Intellivision, while IGN basically buys the internet. Minecraft celebrates 15 years of being an insanely popular blocky mess, Activison threatens to open a new studio to close in a year or two, Super Mario 64 sees a couple of crazy breakthroughs, and a whole lot more! Enjoy!

GEA - SAG Episode 515: The Best Super NES Soundtracks Part 2

May-nia is BACK… AGAIN! What’s the best SNES soundtrack of all time?

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, it’;s time for the conclusion of May-nia 2024! This year’s topic is Super NES soundtracks, and Dan is making Kris make some dreadful decisions. He’s plugged IGN’s best SNES games of all time list into a tournament-style bracket system and is making Kris choose which ones he likes best. Round one had some easy choices in there, but this time around it’s going to be even tougher to choose. What will happen? This is a shorter show than usual because of a scheduling conflict, so sadly there’s no Week Old News, What's New at SAG, or any of our other regular segments. Things should return to normal next week.

Well, that was murder-y

Show Notes This time in A Theater Near You, the guys checked out Heathers, a dark comedy about popularity and murder. This was a very 80s movie, but does it stand the test of time? Just how cute is Christian Slater? How much murder is too much murder? Let’s find out!

May-nia is BACK! What’s the best SNES soundtrack of all time?

Show Notes

Tales of Kenzera Zau

On this week’s podcast, May-nia has returned! This year’s topic is Super NES soundtracks, and Dan is making Kris make some dreadful decisions. He’s plugged IGN’s best SNES games of all time list into a tournament-style bracket system and is making Kris choose which ones he likes best. Round one had some easy choices in there, but set up some truly dreadful decisions to be made next week. How will he choose? HOW??? At the top of the show, Kris got back into Horizon Chase 2 for a bit, enjoyed the heck out of the new Vampire Survivors DLC, and absolutely hated, HATED, Knights of the Old Republic. He was also fortunate enough to get his hands on Goliath Depot, a new arcade-style action game all about closing doors. It’s great! Meanwhile, Dan went on and on about Marel Snap for a bit, but also got to spend some quality time with Tales of Kenzera Zau, a new exploratory adventure game that just so happens to be really freaking cool! Finally, in Week Old News, Pokemon Go players are inventing beaches, Nintendo and Capcom are making absurd amounts of money by not trying to make all of the money, Sony gets bullied into being slightly less awful about the whole Helldivers 2 situation, and Dan and Kris weigh in on the big Microsoft studio closures of the week. Enjoy!

GEA - DC's Amazing Movie Time - Last Action Hero

Episode Notes

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in on the joke in this fourth wall breaking PG-13 action that might be the perfect movie for a 13 year old boy, or maybe just 2 nerdy podcasters reaching the second half of their life.

GEA - SAG Episode 513: Alphabet Soup-er series - Montezuma’s Return

Is this “classic” Game Boy game worth discovering, or should it stay buried?

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris get together for a new entry in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. For Kris’s pick, he went with Montexuma’s Return for Game Boy Color as his M game, and well, it didn’t go so well. Does this deeply flawed GameBoy game have any redeeming qualities? Why did Kris find it so charming? What does this all have to do with Diarrhea? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Dan and Kris fall into a Star Wars hole thanks to the return of Episode I in theaters, while Dan has a hard time focusing. Kris was exhausted from three whole days of yard work, but did he find time to play anything other than Dadish 3D? PRobably not, but who knows?
Finally, in Week Old News, a cool new Kickstarter launches about Lady Death, Vampire Survivors continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, and Nintendo has RUTHLESSLY CENSORED Paper Mario… or have they???? And of course, there’s the whole Limited Run Games CD-R debacle. How do the fellas feel about it? Listen on to find out. Enjoy!

GEA - SAG Episode 512: Cartoon Express: Sonic the Hedgehog - No Brainer

All aboard the SAG Cartoon Express for another “Classic” Sonic cartoon!

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris climb aboard the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss another classic Sonic the Hedgehog episode, but not THAT Sonic the Hedgehog show. The OTHER Sonic show that was airing at the same time, which was just called Sonic the Hedgehog. Not confusing at all! Anyway, the episode was called No Brainer, and it certainly was an episode of a TV show. But was it better than The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? How did Sonic survive after eating a chili dog from a vending machine in a sewer? Who put that vending machine there in the first place? We may never know. At the top of the show, Kris explains why he was sick for most of the week, and why he wound up freezing cold, watching The Flash on his phone on the floor of the local mall. Meanwhile, Dan had to drive extreme distances for a combination of hospital visits and specialized chicken finger restaurants. Meanwhile, Cave Story is still excellent, Dadish 3D delivers hot Dadish action in 3 dimensions, Pokemon Scarlet is exactly as janky as everyone said, and more!
Finally, in Week Old News, Tomb Raider has been CENSORED by the woke agenda!!! OR HAS IT?!? Sensationalist headlines would have you believe it was a nefarious plot to suck all the joy out of viewing tiny, out of focus JPEGs of a hyper-polygonal Lara Croft, but is there more to the story? Plus, Infogrames is back (and still hard to pronounce), an interview about the Tetris CD-i soundtrack is saved, Nintendo 64 NSO gets a rather bizarre update, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
