Thanks so much you guys and we hope you enjoy the podcast :)

In the latest episode, the guys catch up for a chat and discuss what everyone has been up to recently.

Den takes us through where he is at with the 4 different projects he has in the works and a small repair on a Grail PCB pickup for Neil.

Mike discusses his earphones still working by a single strand of wire (haha), the games he’s been playing lately, failed PS2 Memory cards, Tetris, Command and Conquer : Red Alert and takes us through the upcoming events in the Brisbane Arcade Scene!

Neil discusses his recent headway in one of the Toughest and well-known games in the world (Hint: it’s Donkey Kong :D ).

With a lightning quick appearance from Shauno to take the guys through his latest pickups and upcoming repair job (a Nintendo DSi), plus a guest appearance from the local wildlife living in Den’s Garage and his recent brush with a huge Diamond Python – this episode is full of all the usual fun, banter and surprises! 

Thank you to all our listeners for tuning in! We hope you enjoy.

On behalf of the Play It Up Podcast, Neil, Mike, Shauno and Den send their condolences to the family, friends and wider Donkey Kong community over the recent loss of Jeff “JC” Harrist, founder of donkeykongforum.com.

Thank you, Jeff, for creating the basis for the active, friendly and supportive community around Donkey Kong games which we all know and enjoy being a part of today. We wish we had the opportunity to get to know you, and we greatly appreciate all of your time and work that went into DKF.

The guys also chat about Justin's gaming experiences starting right back from his childhood consoles, online game experiences with the Halo series through to the present, how this influenced his introduction to Donkey Kong, interests in Speedrunning, philosophy and thoughts on high-scoring and more!!

In this very special episode of the Play It Up Podcast we are joined by the legends over at Game The System. Marc, John & Matt from GTS have been podcasting much longer than us so we thought we would get together with them to see how it should be done! We chat about what we have all been up to, Marc & John's involvement in a new barcade in Sydney called Beercade, Matt hunting for treasure in the suburbs of Sydney, and Neil chants about books because he just can't get enough books in his life.

In this episode of the Play It Up Podcast, Shaun, Mike, and Den are joined by Jack Philippi - a friend of the show, retro gaming enthusiast, and all-around good bloke who is an important part of the Australian retro gaming community. 

We chat about Jack's history with gaming, his love of World of Warcraft and Minecraft, our experiences playing Metal Gear Solid which was the most recent game featured in our little video game club where we all play a game that has been voted for and then get together to discuss it (this meeting just so happened to only have Shaun, Mike, Dennis and Jack so we made it into a podcast - why not!).
