We're back for our first podcast of the year! We've decided to start the new year off with one of our favorite arcade games, Nintendo's Donkey Kong.

Join Ash and Nick as they discuss the classic arcade game Donkey Kong. It's classic status of being Mario's first ever appearence along with all the influences to sequels, clones and even coming into the mainsteam with the notorious 'King of Kong' documentry and the famous 'Kong off' event.

We also have a ongoing highscore 'mini kong off' of our every own. (between the two of us) which we're hopefully going to arrange at the four thieves pub http://fourthieves.pub/ on the 5th March. Come and Join us and let us know your highscores!

p.s we're changing the way we're recording so tinkering with it might be a little different. We're sorting the kinks out so bare with us!

Ash and Nick make their way into the Ninth Underworld as we take a look at LucasArts/Double Fine Productions PC adventure classic, Grim Fandango.

We discuss the game amongst other random video game-ness and stuff. Such as the failed Retro VGS indiegogo/kickstarter campaign and controvers. Has retro game collecting hit a ceiling? Is it fun anymore? Is it worth moving onto other systems? The video game voice over strike rumours, EA's recent Star Wars Battlefront beta. And we talk about the final planning of our marathon run! Nerves are kicking in!

Enjoy!

Firstly, apolgies that is this episode is so late. Ash's arms melted off and needed bionic replacements and Nick had to build a whole kitchen from lego bricks.

Anyhoo....With the recent release of 'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain'. We decided it would be good to go back to Metal Gear Solid's roots and take a look at the first one on the original Playstation!

Will we ever achieve to make a Fulton extraction on our very own Mr.Smith?

Enjoy the podcast!
