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!

In this episode, Travis (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) chat about Alex's recent brief hiatus from YouTube as well as their appearance on the Classic Games Podcast! Emailers bring questions about favorite retro Ninjas and WhiteHat94 drops in to chat about NES speedrunning. He will be performing for Summer Games Done Quick in August and shares how he prepares, why he chooses the games he runs, and what it's like being among the most prolific speedrunners on Nintendo's most classic system. The episode concludes with a very special interview with a very special guest. You'll have to listen to find out who it is!

DrunkFriend goes overseas, as we welcome GameBoyle to the podcast! We talk all things Game Boy - everything from shoot-em-ups, to English-friendly games that never left Japan, to Shantae! We also cover recording footage, editing disasters, games that aren't worth the trouble, and answer a couple listener questions like how viewer/listener feedback can range from constructive and good natured, to dismissive and incoherent. Join us, won't you? Cheers!

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!

Hey folks! Here's episode 15 of DrunkFriend, this week featuring Mega Drive Profile! We talk about his favorite games like Alien Soldier, Adventures of Batman and Robin, Gunstar Heroes and Treasure developed games in general, creating original music, and creating content for games you enjoy versus games you don't enjoy. We also answer some listener questions, like what SNES game deserves a Link's Awakening style remake, and what games best utilize the SNES controller layout! But rest assured, there's lots of Sega talk in this one, so join us!

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!

Hey folks! Join Trav and Alex as they wax nostalgic about 90s (and 00s) college sports, as well as college sports video games like Bill Walsh College Football, College Slam and the (weirdly expensive?) NCAA Football 2014. We talk Virginia Tech, Minnesota, New Mexico and all sorts of weirdly specific stuff in regards to sports fan experiences, as well as answer some listener emails regarding "classic" games we don't like, and bad games that we love. Enjoy!

Hello! By sheer coincidence, the DrunkFriend podcast managed to snag their 2nd velvet-voiced guest in a row! This time around, it's SuperDerek, as he talks about his recording setup, the evolution of his channel, and of course, role playing games. Lots of talk about EarthBound and old Quintet games here. We also talk about a Secret Santa Christmas collaboration Drunk and Derek did all the way back in 2014, as well as answer listener emails asking which game you wish you could play for the first time again, and what games you'd want to add to the SNES Classic.

Derek is also in the middle of playing 3 games at once on Twitch, with the audience controlling which game he plays and when. Check it out here: https://www.twitch.tv/superderekrpgs

Getting back to normal, Trav and Alex join forces from the very beginning of this one. Ya know? Like old times. Alex reads a lovely email from a listener and Pearl provides her insight in response. Thanks to a listener, Trav has broken the Twin Eagle mis-translation mystery wide-open! The guest for this episode is Hungry Goriya, a YouTuber and Twitch streamer growing fast in popularity! They discuss how it all began for HG, how she's always able to keep her cool, and if she really is destined for a future as a PBS narrator. The show wraps with some listener questions about handheld emulators and games that got us through college.

On this episode, Alex starts out by himself, completely clueless as usual, before Kulor warps in from nowhere! We talk for 30 minutes about chiptunes and how he got started making music, before he mysteriously warps out again... Alex is so freaked out and disoriented that his longtime girlfriend Pearl stops by to calm him down and talk some Final Fantasy VII Remake (as well as Extra Innings for SNES...?) But as soon as she leaves, Alex is back to ranting to himself before Trav stops by to get things back on a professional level, as we talk school, YouTube scheduling, and a lot more!
