The Worst Adults I Know

Episode 70 - I Was a Teenage Nintendo Power Subscriber


Listen Later

This week saw the release of the Nintendo Switch... and you're probably still standing in line hoping to obtain one. While you wait, might we suggest listening to two dudes talk about video games? ...Because no one has ever had this idea before. While pioneering this new podcast genre, we recount our childhood (and childlike) love of video games, describe our biggest regrets in the medium, envy Japan's arcades, find ourselves forced to choose between sleep and video games, declare Shigeru Miyamoto (and his winning smile) our second dads, and expose a popular coffee chain's alliance with Satan. It's our most straightforward episode ever!

Talking Point:

  • Italian accents! (00:00)
  • Link enters puberty! (04:25)
  • Japan! (07:35)
  • Nintendo kids! (10:50)
  • Computers and Steam! (21:38)
  • Sleep vs. WOW! (23:41)
  • Video game storytelling! (28:00)
  • Watching other people play! (33:12)
  • Rated M for Mature! (38:27)
  • Wrap-up recommendations! (48:58)

As always, a huge thank you to Laura Hammond of XPwebcomic.com, Bensound.com for the tunes, this week's contributors for making this show better, and you the listener for sticking us in your ears! Please subscribe to our show and tell your friends to do the same.
