Pie Factory Podcast

In their continued quest to cover arcade video games in alphabetical order, Jim and Sean return after an unwanted hiatus to present you with this episode’s theme: games with “ck” in the middle! They thank you for your patience, your indulgence, your listenershiphood, and your stuff.

After an unexpected hiatus, Sean and Jim are back with a new episode. Sadly, as a side effect of said hiatus, the episode is not about our original intended topic. Happily, though, Pie Factory Podcast is thrilled to present this talk with artist extraordinaire Paul E. Niemeyer, whose works have graced arcade cabinets for Bally … Continue reading Episode 146: A Chat With Paul E. Niemeyer →

Yeah, yeah, we know. “NEW EPISODE SO SOON?!?” Due to the logistical nightmare we all call life, our originally scheduled topic had to be postponed, so instead, after realizing we haven’t done an off-topic episode in a while, maybe we should change our pace for a bit, and here we are. Thank you all for … Continue reading Episode 145: Our Top Ten Console Games →

We here at Pie Factory Podcast do not do turkey drops; we do EPISODE drops. There’s more to do in the world than just eat (although, listening to this episode, you’d never know that). We also like to play video games from time to time. So join us!

Just in time for Portland Retro Gaming Expo (kinda), we present episode 141! This time, instead of the usual booing from people listening, the boos we here are from the spooky creatures that come herewith and thereto and therein with two creepy-themed games. Join us for our usual reviews, commentary, and side-splitting hair-raising banter!

Rumor has it that episode 141 has been released. Well, we’re here to completely dispel that rumor: it’s actually episode 140 that’s been released. But not even a party band outside of Pie Factory Podcast’s south headquarters could prevent Jimmy G from bringing you all the important news about a couple of 40-something-year-old video games, … Continue reading Episode 140: Astro Invader (redux) and Astro Fighter →

Summer schedules can be a beast. And believe me, we have tried to alter that beast, but we find ourselves standing in the shadows of that beast.
