This week, we're visited by Nick (40:29), the creator of the retrogaming website Racketboy.com, which has been around since ye olden days of 2004. We discuss how coverage of retrogaming content has changed over the years, what its like to have your writing and research picked apart, retro game pricing changes and what influences those prices, baseball video games, and lots of other stuff. If you're a collector folk, you'll enjoy this one.

Pete Dorr stops by (25:28) to chat about game collecting, the weird CD-i catalog, Lassie on PS2, Ebay prices, E3, and more! In the intro, Trav is excited about the opportunity to fail out of an improv group and Alex outsources his light gun game footage. He doesn't even play his own games now. Pam (CannotBeTamed) sends in a WELL ACKSHUALLY and the Master System's art is awful.

On this episode, Alex (SNESdrunk) and Trav (NESfriend) are joined by Tony Brasel, a long time retro-gaming YouTuber who knows more about Mega Man than the average retro-fan. There's hockey and Stardew Valley talk that completely alienates Trav, there's more hockey talk after that, and there's also some fun Mega Man trivia with Brasel, the expert. Emails include a tip on how to maintain your electronics, a defense of Counting Crows, and a request for some guests to have on the show!

Trav and Alex return after a week off to answer a few emails and rank their Top 13 handheld games that aren't Switch games, or ports, or remakes, or mobile games. There are a lot of rules. Alex goes on about hockey at some point, Trav gets defensive about his game collection, and Truxton gets a mention.

This week, Trav and Alex talk about guests they'll never realistically have on the show for various reasons! Because reasons. I mean, some of it is legit reasons, but other is because of "reasons" reasons. Did you know that Gary Reasons was a linebacker for the New York Giants in the late 80s and the early 90s? Unsung guy, that guy. Lots of Reasons to like THAT guy amirite? Yeah? No. Anyway, here's an hour of talking.

This week on DrunkFriend, we talk Metallica with State of Mercury, a fellow who's made a channel that captures the sound and aura of Metallica albums of years past, and applies their unique sounds to different Metallica songs. (For example, what would "My Friend of Misery" sound like if it were on "...And Justice For All?") We talk metal and how we got into it as wee lads, we talk about concert experiences, and of course a ton of stuff about Metallica stuff we love (and do not love). Check it out!
