With not one but two Nintendo NX hoaxes just before April Fools' Day, several Nintendo hoaxes of years past come to mind.

Sean and Vinnk reminisce about tricks played on the video game community, popular rumors, common misconceptions, and a few wild stories that actually (and/or eventually) turned out to be true.

Forty years after Atari helped rocket home video gaming into the stratosphere (and nearly 35 years after they helped to almost completely crater it), hobbyists have banded together across the globe to solve the niggling quality problems that plagued the original developers, making games so good that perhaps the video game crash may never have happened.

Vinnk and Sean welcome Call of Doodie director Joe Grisaffi to talk about his homebrew Atari games based (loosely?) on several of his films, and why completionists can never truly have everything.

Sean is gone this week, but Vinnk found someone even better to step in and talk video games: his wife!

Vinnk and Misako discuss her gamer past, and -- in a stunning reversal of what usually happens on Famicom Dojo -- Vinnk explains the Nintendo Entertainment System and North American gaming to someone who grew up only knowing the Famicom.

Rhythm in video games has been around since before there was even the technical capabilities for decent music. The last decade saw a surge in this genre, followed by a precipitous crash.

Sean and Vinnk talk about their respective introductions to the rhythm game genre, where it's lead them, and what they've been playing lately despite the digger the genre has since taken.

Episodic gaming has really taken off in the last few years, despite a troubling start. We share what we enjoy about this format, but also what sometimes isn't so great about it, and which games we're still waiting to be finished. Is episodic content here to stay?

Vinnk and Sean examine the perils and the promise of this approach to gaming, and try to figure out what even counts as episodic versus a sequel. And, for the first time in a long time, we share both a Future Retro and Pile of Shame! In the same episode! Mostly. (There might be another one on the website...)
