  • The Hitching Post Podcast - Taking The Glasses Off - Skies of Arcadia

    WorldofMrGrey, MrKola, PixelsatDawnGaming and Hitch talk Skies of Arcadia.


    Taking the glasses off we look back at what many call perfection, some call underrated and others call "what now?". Released on the SEGA Dreamcast and later on the Nintendo GameCube we chat about the game, story, mechanics and more and debate if the game was a true classic back then and how it holds up today. The game was played for a couple of weeks by Kola and Pixels whilst Hitch and Grey have finished it more than once over the years so we get both sides of the coin on this one.

    Can it stand up? Did it stand up then? Have a listen and see if you agree with us!

  • The Hitching Post Podcast - Taking The Glasses Off - Lemmings

    Does anyone not know Lemmings? Possibly one of the best know series of games, some good, some OK, some simply awful.


    Join myself, Pixels and Grey as we talk dirty and throw some small cute animals off a cliff whilst rating the versions we have been playing this past two weeks. Listen to Hitch as he desperatley explains why nobody should ever play 3D Lemmings.

    Do the games hold up? Could they be better? Hope you enjoy another episode of Taking The Glasses Off.

  • The Hitching Post Podcast - Taking The Glasses Off - Grand Theft Auto

    Today we take the glasses off and look back at yet another classic series in gaming History, Grand Theft Auto.


    For over a week we played two of the classics. In 2D we played the only GTA game to be set in the future, GTA 2 the topdown 2nd game and in 3D we went back and looked at GTA: Vice City, the all time classic 80s feel Grand Theft Auto game.

    We all played on different systems and give feedback based around how it played then and how it feels today.

    Take a trip back in time and lay those retro goggles down and Take The Glasses Off, with Hitch, MrKola and PixelsAtDawnGaming.

  • Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Season 3 finale

    Today was meant to be a look back on our personal 2019s and look forward to our 2020s but as usual we went off track and bitched about PC VR and how amazing Valve is :)


    Listen to a personal fireside with Hitch, Grey and Kola. Upcoming projects. Past retro depressions and more. Feel sorry for Greys toothache, he soldiered on regardless and didn't rant about Shenmue 3! It's a record guys.


    We are back for season 4 in March 2020 with even more mutterings, ramblings and the odd important information about all the Retro, Pop Culture and Modern.

  • 2009 - 2019 A Decade of Changes

    It has been a short 10 years but we come to the end of a decade of gaming and a very turbulent one with changes in how games are delivered to us and with many of them incomplete or hidden behind DLC and Micro-transactions, Day one patches or simple never really completed. But was it is as bad as everyone says? 

    We chat about some of those changes, though we missed a few due to time rushing ahead like its 1984 so may need to do a second one!

    What was the best system? What games were notable? What did we love and hate about the past ten years?

    Myself, Grey and Kola join the chat and tell our views candidly.

  • 20th Anniversary Dreamcast Special, The One with the Seamen

    The Dreamcast is in many eyes one of the pinnacles of home gaming. It was so advanced for its time that many even consider that part of SEGAs downfall. No matter your stance on why it failed and why it was last console SEGA would make before the new Megadrive/Genesis Mini there is little doubt that the wondrous white machine was and still is one of the best.

    Tonight we talk about what made it so good. What launch titles it had and what made the system unique in software and peripherals. Enjoy the chat and feel free to throw us some feedback either via our Twitter or on the Live-Stream over on Twitch.

    This Is the SEGA Dreamcast!
