It's BACK! Last year I released an episode called "Final Fantasy Fantasy Draft" which was a 2.5 hour long episode where 4 guests tried to "draft" their ideal Final Fantasy while competing with each other. It was basically what happens when Final Fantasy and fantasy sports mixed. Luckily, there is no knowledge of fantasy sports required to enjoy this episode! Just tune in and enjoy this celebration of all things Final Fantasy

This time there are some new things added/changed! Ther are 4 new guests, a new draft category, new play abilities AND now you the listener will get to vote on who won this year's fantasy draft! Once you finish the episode click on the link below and tell me who you thought won this year's draft!

It's hard to believe but we have reached the finale of season 2 of the Captain N series. There is only one season (more like half a season) left of the show. Dexter Morrill and I break down episode 13 of season 2, Germ Wars. What is a video virus? Why does Kid Icarus have an arrow for everything and yet nothing? And apparently Kevin is actually the only human on the N team? Even though season 1's finale involved Mega Man becoming a real boy? Find out the answers to all of this and more in this month's Captain N episode!

It seems like more and more indie games are causing big waves in the gaming zeitgeist. One of the earlier examples of this is the game being covered in this episode. I am joined by Anthony from the Indie Diarist Podcast to discuss the acclaimed indie game To the Moon. We discuss some of the game's history, its thematic material and how it affected us personally. We discuss the morality explored in this game and how sometimes just one line can really affect you. It was an amazing discussion and I hope you all enjoy it!

This episode has been a LONG time coming. I am joined by Kade from the Gaming Memories Podcast to talk about one of my personal favorite games, Medal of Honor. The original Medal Of Honor games holds a VERY special place in my heart as it was something my dad and I bonded over and sparked my interest in World War 2 history. Kade and I dive into the game's history, how it changed the FPS genre and much more!

What episode topic could POSSIBLY follow a full 2.5 hours retrospective on the Famicom? Of course it is a breakdown of basically the first Nintendo movie, The Wizard. I am joined by two wonderful returning guests to discuss this bizarre film. Jared from the Play Along Podcast and returning from last week and Stephan Reese also known as the Art of Nintendo Power. We discuss how carving your name into a tree could be a good business card, the logistics of twinkie truck delivery routes and we argue about who this movie really is for.

The Famicom, known as the Nintendo Entertainment System over here in North America, is arguably one of the most important systems of all time. Well it turns out this year is the 40th anniversary of the console's launch in Japan so it is WELL overdue for me to cover it here on Still Loading. To help me discuss this legendary system I am joined by Stephan Reese from the non-profit Interactive Art Collection (also known as The Art of Nintendo Power on Twitter), Try from the YouTube channel My Life in Gaming and Dave from the YouTube channel Game Dave.

The four of us discuss the history of the system, what it has meant to us all personally and why this system seems to have such staying power in pop culture zeitgeist.

This month's Captain N is by far one of the STRANGEST episodes of the show so far (and that's saying something...). Dexter and I are joined by our good friend Gabe Swarr. Gabe specifically requested to join us for this episode and I am SO glad he did. This episode may be listed as mini in the title but it is ANYTHING but mini. Join us in this wild journey as we learn about the Captain N treatment of Paperboy.

The time has come FINALLY for me to discuss Sega's iconic beat 'em up franchise Streets of Rage. I'm joined by Chris from Retro Hangover and Coury from My Life in Gaming to discuss the first game in the series. What makes this game stand out from other beat 'em ups? Why is the music so damn good? This was my first time playing this game and I had a lot of fun trying to answer those questions and more on this episode.

I'm a huge fan of niche game history and this week's episode is about as niche as it gets. I'm joined by Bill from the Gaming and Collecting podcast to take a look at Sega's first ever console, the Sega SG-1000. The SG-1000 released the same exact day as Nintendo's Famicom (known as the NES/Nintendo Entertainment System here in the North America).

Bill and I talk about the console, it's games and what the system did for Sega moving forward. If you have ever wanted to dive into an obscure corner of game history, this is the episode for you!
