Video Game history can be such a tough subject to really know where to start with. There is so much out there so how can somone who is interested know where to start? This week I am joined by game developer and author Michael Hart to talk about his recently release book "Secrets of Video Game Consoles" which I personally think is a good starting point to learn about game history. I spoke to Michael about why he wanted to write the book, what challenges he faced in researching it, his gaming memories and much more!

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.

The first ever patron poll episode is here! In January my patrons voted on a game I should cover on the show and the winner was Spec Ops: The Line! I'm joined by Dave Jackson of Tales From the Backlog to discuss this game that features an incredibly morally ambiguous narrative. There are a lot of spoilers in this one but it is still well worth listening to.

It's time for some more Captain N! Dexter Morrill is back and he joins me to discuss Captain N's journey through time with Link and Pero (aka Puss n Boots). Does that make any sense? No! And neither did this episode! This was one of the more fun episodes we have watched in season 2 and it is well worth watching beforehand just because of how zany it is.

It's Christmas 2022! And what's more Christmasy than looking into an 80's teen sex comedy. I'm sure Santa would approve. This week I am joined by the host of the Big Drink Energy podcast Mikey Tabletop to discuss the wild and wacky experience of watching the 1983 movie Joysticks. This movie is basically the video game movie equivalent to Tommy Wiseau's The Room, it's bad but insanely watchable. Merry Christmas everyone!
