          • 2018 Game of the Year Special

            Don’t get too excited, we’re not bringing this thing back. 2018 was a more solid year for games than we thought, so Jason and John decided give the nod to some honorable mentions before we run down our five favorite games of the year.

          • 100 – Look, It’s Not You, It’s Us

            Well, we finally made it to episode 100! To help celebrate (?), Jason Arriola and Vanessa Cahill talk about the site and podcast’s past and present. Then, we’re joined by John Lucero to talk about his history with us. As a bit of a weird way to celebrate, we’ve decided to retire this iteration of the podcast. We’ve got something else that’s more easy to keep up with on our end, so listen in and see what the future holds! And, like all the greats, we’re leaving the retirement a bit open, so if there’s anything we feel we want to talk about that won’t fit in our other podcasts, this will be the place for it!

            Hey, did you this, along with all of our other podcasts, have their own feed? Well, you do now! And you can subscribe to that feed on Apple Podcasts if that’s your thing. Why not leave a review while you’re there?

            And on a more serious note, I want to thank everyone that’s ever worked on this particular podcast in its many iterations with me. So, thanks to Graig Garman, Ariel Apodaca, Vanessa Cahill, Scott Romero, Franky Ordaz, Executive Producer Anthony Gore, Ashley Sanchez, Luke Maxwell, Anthony Villanueva, Ben Alston, Conor Mahood, Brittany Beshel, John Lucero, Richard Balmer, Tyler Mire, Josie “Visager” Brechner, and JoeStar. It’s been a long road getting here, but none of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for them taking time to talk with me about these damn video games we all love so dearly. And, most importantly, thank you for listening! I’m amazed at how many of you actually listen to this thing no matter how sporadic the releases have been. I hope you’ll stick with us and check out the other podcasts we’ve got lined up for you. I’m excited about them, and I think you will be as well (please clap).

          • 99 – P-P-Please, Eddie! No More Roger Rabbit Games!

            We ingested quite a bit of Roger Rabbit for this podcast. While the Roger Rabbit movie is perfectly okay, the games are another story. It goes beyond the infamous NES one, as there were a total of four Roger Rabbit games. Yeah, that was news to me as well.

            A big thanks to the Tardy to the Party podcast for not only inspiring this one, but also being able to get Bill Mudron’s insight on animation was a huge help!
