GEA - SAG Episode 477: Trivia time LIVE at Stone Age Gamer

Celebrating SAG’s 16th birthday with a LIVE trivia show!

Show Notes

Stone Age Gamer is sixteen years old, and we celebrated the only way we knew how. With a LIVE Trivia Show! Kris flew out to Salem Ohio to host a live podcast recording at the Stone Age Gamer store. There, Dan took on the entire live audience in a contest of trivia supremacy. Since this was a live show, the recording isn’t up to our usual standards, but it was well worth it for the experience! Sadly, Dan was not able to make it out to the show in person, so he was recording from the Jose Canseco Memorial Annex in scenic New Jersey, but he was there in spirit, and in voice since we remoted him into the store’s audio for the show. Fun times were had by all. Enjoy!

GEA - ATNY 31: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Does this sci-fi classic stand the test of time?

Show Notes

This time in A Theater Near You, Paul, Sean, and Kris tackle the sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's one of the most important science fiction movies ever created, and a favorite of Stanley Kubrick fans, but is it any fun to watch? Just how long does an establishing need to be? What the heck is up with that floating rectangle? Did we all turn into giant space babies? Let’s find out. Plus, in an effort to avoid talking about this movie for as long as possible, the guys talk about the recent strikes in Hollywood, the joys of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, what they've all been watching on TV lately, and a whole lot more.

GEA - SAG Episode 476: Tomorrow I'm Gonna Be a DJ

The Alphabet Soup-er Series returns with Flashback: The Quest for Identity.

Content Warning

Our usual conversation at the top of the episode got a bit heavier than usual, and could be upsetting for some listeners. We decided to leave this conversation in because this show has always been at least partly about our lives and the things that happen to us, this week just happened to be a particularly difficult one. Things get back to normal around the 23 minute mark if you want to skip ahead. Thank you for understanding.

Show Notes

Dan and Kris bring you the latest installment in the Alphabet Soup-er Series! Each month, they choose a video game that begins with a different letter of the alphabet, and play them for discussion on the show. This month’s letter was F, and Dan chose the sci-fi classic Flashback: The Quest for Identity. Which versions did they play? Do the famous rotoscoped visuals hold up? Is the game any good? Let’s find out! Plus, the guys had very little time to actually play too many games this week, but Kris put some time into the HD Retrovision cables now available at Stone Age Gamer, and the new We Love Katamari release for Nintendo Switch. There’s also a surprising amount of talk about SAG’s new blog software.
