October 29, 2024 Talking To My Boy About Videogames - Ep 3 - Let's Play Horror Games
For spooky month, Jonathan and Ryan do some live game playing on the podcast of two games, Retro Realms: Halloween, and The Rocky Horror Show Video Game. Ryan gives a few ideas of videogames involving the undead and the Godzilla universe of monsters, and Ryan informs us of the evolving world of swears. The pair also discuss the game Clock Tower Remastered and talk a little bit about "Shadows of the Darned: Hecka Remastered" and give an update on their progress of Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And finally, Ryan's not totally sold on Among Us, but he has so many stories about the game that he runs out the remaining space on the SD card.Show Notes:

October 23, 2024 Yeah! - 03 - Jet Set Radio - Let Mom Sleep.mp3
Today on Yeah! the gang talks about the song "Let Mom Sleep from the Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio, all the way from THE YEAR 2000! We get into the nitty gritty of building songs from samples, what was hot in the late 90s/early 2000s, and we also dig into street and youth culture from a billion years ago. A surprising amount of the 1960s was hot in 2000! There was a very brief time period where rollerblading was the coolest thing you could do.
