Destination Unknown Podcast

Gabe and Dave ponder a tough question: what makes us so passionate about the things we love and how do they earn our blind loyalty? Also this week, everyone with a pulse has heard of Fortnite as it continues to embed itself into pop culture, but does this infiltration remind anyone else of the casual gamer infestation a decade ago? The gang examines the evidence.

The band is (mostly) back together! Gabe, John, and Justin find their way back into the "studio" to discuss a Reddit thread about games you didn't like at first, but wound up loving in the end. Someone even name-dropped Mappy Land un-ironically...

Gabe and Justin, also known as the only two currently healthy members of the podcast, celebrate episode 40 by covering a wide range of topics including Nintendo and Nintendo-related stuff like Pokemon Go and old games coming to Switch at super-expensive prices. That's right, John. You weren't here to defend the big N, so all bets were off. Enjoy!

Well, that was one heck of a hiatus, wasn't it? While the gang still isn't back to 100% yet, Gabe and John take the reins this week to catch up on all the listener emails that have been piling up. We answer your questions about retro gaming, working in game stores, what games we're playing right now, and more!

Wow, the gang sure has been noticeably quiet lately. Is this podcast even still a thing? Gabe sits down with a microphone to give the first ever State of the Unknown address.

After two weeks of delays, absentee co-hosts, and corrupted files, the Destination Unknown Podcast is back on the airwaves! Airwaves? Interwebs? Whatever. We're coming at your earballs either way with another jam-packed week of video game chatter. The gang receives an interesting email this week which runs down the entire show panel like a Comedy Central roast. Hilarity ensues.

The gang discusses some of the best and worst boss fights of all time. Sephiroth? Bowser? Ganon? Mike Tyson? Find out where these end game bosses rank on the list, plus a whole lot more!

The gang is back to full-power this week, and it completely throws Gabe's episode count off. This week, the fellas travel back in time and chat about the great video game crash of 1983, failed handheld systems that crumbled in the Gameboy's shadow, and more of Gabe's disdain for Mortal Kombat and Sonic the Hedgehog. So, unpack your own time-sweeping vacuums and join us!

Mario vs. Sonic may be one of the most iconic video game battles of all time, but they eventually shook hands in 2007 and turned that friction into friendly Olympic competition. This week, the gang discusses other famous video game rivalries and how they've impacted the industry as a whole.

This week, Gabe was trolling Reddit in an attempt to impress with the ladies with his deep knowledge of SOCOM II and flawless kitty litter scooping techniques, when he met a really cool dude named Derek who has a fascinating Final Fantasy VII experience to share. You've heard us talk about our personal FFVII experiences, but we've never heard the game covered quite like this before.
