One hundred episodes.. they said it couldn't be done. But you know what? We proved THEM wrong.

That's right. Come hang out with the LJN crew!

We did it, another year in the books for the LJN crew! The LJN gang discuss where we made our biggest mistakes in 2025. It's an open discussion regarding the LJN Game Ratings. Woo!

Shenmue is a 1999 game on the Sega Dreamcast. If I were to try to elaborate any further, I would run out of characters for this description. So tune in and listen, because it doesn't seem like we can run out of characters during a podcast / livestream.

Metal Gear Solid is a story. A story about a snake. Wait, no.. a story about a MAN. Solid Snake. That's as deep as we are willing to go, because it seems like you could spend the rest of your life dissecting the story of Metal Gear Solid if you wanted.. and we do not.

Have you ever really sat down and read the backstory of any fighting game ever? Let me tell you.. it may seem like it would be simple.. but it never is.Tekken 3 is a classic example of this. There's so much backstory going on that we would lose every listener we have if we tried to go into it during the show. So read up on it.. or don't. Just listen to the episode instead and pretend there's no story. That's what we did for almost thirty years.

Have you ever seen the movie "Sweet Home"? If you're an in-the-weeds video game nerd, you're at least familiar with the Sweet Home video game by Capcom on the Famicom in 1989. The movie is basically Poltergeist but with a furnace. Also, did we mention they made a videogame about the movie for the Famicom?

Look, I am going to level with you.. D is a polarizing game. Some may not really even consider it a game but more a form of punishment that you are made to endure. Want to see where the LJN gang lands on the subject*? Then tune in and listen *No John or Robby tonight

Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest baseball players of his generation.A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Griffey Jr. defied his generation's appetite for performance-enhancing drugs. He didn't need it. All he needed was.. PURE.. GRIFF.Also, Griffey, Jr. happens to be Jay's favorite baseball player of all-time, so I am going to save the sardonic comments for once (Mariners suck).

Remember when computers didn't have optical drives? Well, not like today. BEFORE optical drives. Remember that? Well, if you do, it's time for you to schedule a colonoscopy.

When people look back in the annals of history as it relates to video games, they will surely circle back to the late-release Taito NES games as proof that video game collectors are idiots
