We are back from the 2017 Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo and this episode can be considered our "Super Mega Doppler SFGE Wrap-Up" episode, as we cover off on all things related to the expo, including, but not limited to:

    Every friend we saw (of which there was a LOT)
    Every game we played (of which there was a LOT)
    Every panel we moderated or delivered (of which there was a LOT)
    Every Nip-It we played (of which there was ONE)
    Every time Brent tilted a pinball (of which there was a LOT)
    Every time we said "SFGE" or "Sky Skipper" this episode (of which there is a LOT)*

WHEW!!  Well - there you go!  Episode 56 in a bag, baby!

56: A Nip-It and an Idiot

Join co-hosts Brent and Whitney as they share a ‘southern view’ (and some definite drawl) on the vibrant hobby of collecting, restoring and playing the arcade and pinball classics from the late 70’s to today.  The podcast covers everything from the golden age of arcade gaming to the newest pinball titles currently hitting the streets and everything in between.  Add in technical talk segments, collecting and restoration stories, interviews and sit-in guests as well as game room updates, forum news, listener mail and twitter questions (with the occasional live streams) and you’ve got a couple hours of your life you’ll never get back!   GAME ON!

That's right everyone - we're leading up to the 2024 Louisville Arcade Expo and Brent sits in with showrunners Corey Stup and Joe Stith to talk all things LAX 2024!  Follow along to hear updates on the show's evolution, what to expect from this year, special guests, pinball tournaments, vendors and more!

117: It’s the most wonderful time of the year!


January 2024
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday break and the new year is off to a good start.  We find ourselves at the beginning of 2024 and we’re proud to feature the last installment of our 3-part interview series with David Crane, Dan Kitchen and Garry Kitchen where, over the course of three inter-connected interviews, we explore:

* Part 1 – Atari and the Activision years (audio in episode 114)
* Part 2 – the Absolute Entertainment years (audio in episode 115)
* Part 3 – the birth of their new development and publishing company – Audacity Games (audio in this episode)

The YouTube video for each panel is linked above if you’d like to watch the discussion as it happened.
It’s our hope that you enjoy this very special presentation and retrospective look at the long and storied history of Activision and the people behind the powerhouse that it became.  It was an honor being able to spend so much time (far more than originally planned) with these legends of the gaming industry and we hope it comes across the same.
Special thanks go to David Corrigan for placing his trust in us to research and deliver these three panel discussions at the Music City Multi Con.  This will go down as one of the highlights of the podcast and part of its legacy and we so appreciate this opportunity.

116: The Audacity (Games) of it all

October 2023
The time has drawn nigh – so much so that Brent goes solo on this episode so we can keep the train rolling.  We cover some short updates, discuss our upcoming visit to the Music City Multicon and then get straight to the heart of the matter – the second installment of the 3-part panel series from the 2022 show featuring David Crane, Dan Kitchen and Garry Kitchen where, over the course of three inter-connected interviews, we explore:

* Part 1 – Atari and the Activision years (audio in episode 114)
* Part 2 – the Absolute Entertainment years (audio in this episode)
* Part 3 – the birth of their new development and publishing company – Audacity Games (audio upcoming in episode 116- link will go live when the show is released)

The video for each panel is linked above and will be updated as the videos are published and the podcast episodes are released.
It’s our hope that you enjoy this very special presentation and retrospective look at the long and storied history of Activision and the people behind the powerhouse that it became.  It was an honor being able to spend so much time (far more than originally planned) with these legends of the gaming industry and we hope it comes across the same.
Look for part 3 to drop “REAL SOON”. 

115: The Griffith Experience


July 2023
Summer here in KY marches on and we are finally able to get the July show out to everyone… in August. 

114: Tires and Soap

It's July 4th here in the States and we're celebrating the fireworks and grilling with some arcade, gaming and pinball talk.  We catch up on happenings since the 2023 Louisville Arcade Expo, discuss some game rotations and sales (14 games sold between the two of us!!), fix-up project status and some side-talk on 3D printing, MiSTer and the BitKit FPGA boards, tips on shopping a pinball (Brent has been tutoring the next generation) and the elusive hunt for "all the cabarets".  

And yes, Whitney does keep all his money in the Spider-Man head bank!  Brent and the Tempest coin bucket come in clutch once again!
