Trav and Alex take a break from guests this week for a relaxed episode where they catch up on the videos they released this week on their respective YouTube channels and try to recall a delicious sandwich from a 90's action thriller. An email asks for recommended kids games and another listener wanted to know what game sounds induced the most panic. Alex shares some of the meanest comments he's received on his channel and for fun, the hosts rank some of the second-tier developers on their respective favorite systems!

Dan from the YouTube channel Console Wars joins DrunkFriend once again! Only this time, we're talking some more 90s music, including lots of concert stories, and that fear of seeing a band that may or may not be past their prime. We also answer some emails, like about how terrible the arcade game Revolution X is, and why we like the music that we do!

Thanks for stopping by again for another DrunkFriend podcast episode! This week, it's 90s music, and we actually manage to stay in the 90s for the most part! Trav and Alex cover a ton of ground here, talking about everything from hair metal to Soundgarden, from Smashing Pumpkins to Tool. We even throw in a little country music talk in there too, as well as some concerts we've been to. Alex also tells the story of how he pissed off the band Tool('s lawyers) by making a fake Tool song back in 2006. Of course, we do touch on some gaming topics as well, such as games we've been the most addicted to, and games we play outside of our channels. Enjoy!

This episode features TopSpot123, a YouTuber whose channel shares many neat tips and tricks on managing, curating, and presenting your video game collection. You'll hear about the rigors of putting together a thorough tutorial video and you might be surprised by how long that can take. We kick the show off still reminiscing about college football by reading a handful of listener emails on the topic. Alex can't speak Portuguese and his audio in this episode is whack because Kulor tried to haunt the podcast apparently. The show caps off with a listener question!
