The time has come FINALLY for me to discuss Sega's iconic beat 'em up franchise Streets of Rage. I'm joined by Chris from Retro Hangover and Coury from My Life in Gaming to discuss the first game in the series. What makes this game stand out from other beat 'em ups? Why is the music so damn good? This was my first time playing this game and I had a lot of fun trying to answer those questions and more on this episode.

I'm a huge fan of niche game history and this week's episode is about as niche as it gets. I'm joined by Bill from the Gaming and Collecting podcast to take a look at Sega's first ever console, the Sega SG-1000. The SG-1000 released the same exact day as Nintendo's Famicom (known as the NES/Nintendo Entertainment System here in the North America).
Bill and I talk about the console, it's games and what the system did for Sega moving forward. If you have ever wanted to dive into an obscure corner of game history, this is the episode for you!

Rounding out this brief BioSHOOK series is a massive episode on BioShock Infinite with friend of the show Mick Arcade.

Listen in as Mick and I test out our theories of constants and variables and determine which Elizabeth is the real one.

This week's episode is a discussion on a shorter game, a game that doesn't end? Or does it? I'm joined by Gerard Eady, who is an accomplished Irish archer and Twitch streamer, to discuss the game The Stanley Parable.
This is one of those tangent type of episodes and while we do discuss the game we also get sidetracked a few times and discuss RPGS, which types of games we like to play and we get a peak at Gerard's archery background.

As the game industry evolves sometimes it's easy to forget the stepping stones of progress. Sometimes a game comes out, does something revolutionary, but no one notices because something bigger comes out just a few years later and overshadows it.
On this episode I chatted with Matthew Smith, creator of the YouTube channel Computer Gaming Yesterday. We talk about his recently released documentary on the game "Dark Age of Camelot" and how it is one of the more influential MMORPG's that not a lot of people talk about anymore. This episode touches on a fascinating era of game history that you will not want to miss.

I'm not gonna beat around the bush. The episode that is covered for this month's Captain N episode is by far our favorite of season 2. Dexter Morrill is back and we have a ton of fun breaking down Captain N season 2 episode 9, Having a Ball. This episode is one of the most wild episode's we've ever seen on the show. Do you wanna see King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard as rockstars? Victorian era aristocrats? Tomatoes dancing with creepy legs? If you answered yes to any of these, this episode is for you.
