1 More Podcastle

Original air date: August 4, 2014

99 Episodes / (Month of episode release (8) + (1) More Podcastle = 9) = 11

Year of episode release (2014) – 11 = 2003

Year of Mega Man 3 (20XX) – 2003 = XX – 03

Number of Podcastle Hosts (3) – (XX – 03) = XX

X = roman numeral for 10, therefore XX = 20

The book of Genesis [Retro gaming connection], chapter 17 says Abraham was 99 years old [SAME # AS EPISODES]

20- Genesis Chapter (17) = 3.

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

This is the podcast in which Bailey brings an unpronounceable Japan-only game, not because he had to, but because he chose so.

59:03 — Another episode truth bombed into your ears. If you enjoyed it, let us know in the comment section below. If you didn’t, well then just place a vote in Jason’s column for the poll. Either way, we both win. And not Bailey. No one wants Bailey to win.

Original air date: July 14, 2014

…and one day, he went off a jump that was too ambitious, too extreme. He launched off the ramp, and ascended into the sky. No one saw Eagle Knievel ever again, but we know he’s watching over us.

56:55 – We love sports and we don’t care who knows! But we’d love to hear from you. Take advantage of our comment section below, or send us an email to discuss on air and make your vote count! IS IT THE SHOES?!

Our interlude track was Mecha FatNick “The Shinobi”

31:38 – Some video game series are great, aren’t they? And then something happens and one title makes the whole thing go to spit. We bring those games to you, dear listener, in hopes that you will pick the worst (or is it the right?) choice for the worst game in a popular game series.

49:42 – So Bailey’s a little upset about his one vote off the past couple of shows. Frankly, I think it’s hilarious. But he is the Editor-in-Chief and if we upset the Chief then there will dark clouds over the horizon. Or he’ll just be upset again. So make your voice be heard in the vote for your favorite pick in the showdown poll. Good luck; we are all counting on you.

And unto me, yea, HE said:

Turn thyself from the video distractions

of a full motion nature. They

cloud one’s judgement and pull one from

the righteous path. They are

not of MY people, not made

in MY honour.

1:01:57 – Remember, we need some questions to answer. You have a chance to hear the almighty words of Mr. Legend and Lord Lamb say your name on record. That’s better than winning the lottery, no one said every. So get those burning questions in.

I’m not sure how Alfred put up with it for so many years, frankly.
