For Matt’s pick this month, he chose Mudvayne. How did Kris react to their loud, math-rock stylings? Just what the heck is math rock anyway? Let’s find out!

It’s the 500th episode of the Stone Age Gamer Podcast! Dan and Kris celebrate this milestone by joining up with previous co-hosts Mike Sheridan and Dean DeFalco as well as special guest Intrepid Editor Evan to talk about, well, 5 hours of nonsense really. The main event though was a series of Top 5 lists. Each person selected a different video game platform and created their personal lists of the top games on each. The audience also got in on the fun by sending in audio submissions, questions, and their very own top 5 lists. Strap yourselves in, because this is a looooooooong one. There was also a ceremonial passing of the torch regarding the show’s content warning, and Kris re-recorded the show’s theme song with a kazoo. Enjoy!

Did we catch you slipping? In this quirky oddity, a couple of youtubers embodying the video game equivalent of American Pickers create a feature length film with some help from friends. It's a movie full of 80's cliches, Nintendo nostalgia and some references for long time watchers of the channel.
Kris survived his surgery, and has returned to talk about video games! It’s the end of January, and that means it’s time for the first 10 20 30 40 of the year, and it’s, well, not that great. January isn’t typically the best month for gaming, but all hope isn’t lost! There are actually a small handful of notable game releases that keep things from being all awful. At the top of the show, Dan didn’t play much of anything, but Kris went hands on with the new Among Us DLC for Vampire Survivors, played a whole bunch of the Metal Gear Collection, and got to give some early impressions on the CD-i Zelda homage Arzette! Is it more than a cheap nostalgia grab? Listen on to find out! Finally, In Week Old News, Microsoft lays off a ton of people, but it’s okay because they’re one of the richest companies in the world. Atari music comes to vinyl, but at a price, the composer who wrote the Super Mario Bros. theme gets inducted into the hall of fame, and a whole lot more.
On this week’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Kris leads the team on a monster hunt with Monarch Legacy of Monsters. Karen chats about Scott Pilgrim, Evan gushes over Reacher again and Angie wraps up with the final season of Letterkenny… pitter-patter. All this and so much more!
Kris is out this week recovering from oral surgery so Dan and his kids take the reins and try to keep things on the rails. They talk about what they’ve been playing, the Xbox Developer Showcase, and more in the first half of the show then dive headfirst into the kids' picks for game of the year 2023 and what they are excited for in 2024. The language, despite Dan’s somewhat half-hearted efforts, remains as salty as ever. (just what you’d expect from this show) While the countdown to episode 500 hit a bump in the road this week, rest assured that the show itself did not.
Show Notes This time in A Theater Near You, the team tackled the latest Dungeons & Dragons movie, which was far more silly and entertaining than expected. Also, sorry for all the coughing.

With the new year comes new games, and Dana nd Kris are excited for a lot of cool stuff. From Prince of Persia to Anton Blast, there’s a ton of great stuff on the way to look forward to. Will we see a new Switch this year? Will Hatch Tales actually release? Will we learn anything at all about Solksong? Let’s find out! In Week Old News, Konami lets Limited Run re-release some of their most beloved classics that have strangely never been re-released before, Valve issues a takedown on a 64-bit Portal Demake, a rather disturbing version of Mario haunts the nightmares of CES-goers, and more. At the top of the show, Kris gets frustrated by the Flyers threatening to blow it in the third period, Dan beats Spider-Man and delves into great detail about how awesome its ending was (spoiler alert, by the way), and Kris laments the tragic loss of his Daily Dadish streak, even though he didn’t actually miss any days.
Show Notes
For Kris’s pick, he went with the band Hockey. This now defunct Portland band had a killer debut album, but what happened after that? Let’s find out together!
