We had to scramble to make the best of a bad situation. If you listened to the main public episode about Punch Out, you will have heard the story about how the audio recording of our live show from Austin in the summer of 2016 was destroyed. We stand behind the technical execution of the re-do more, but we don't want to lose the magic of that live ep... So here, we're presenting the recording of the actual day in question, warts and cauliflower ear and all.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about Punch-Out!!... again.

You'll hear the sordid story about what happened in the episode, but suffice to say that we ended up having to re-record our live episode about Punch-Out!! We love this game so much that we didn't want our only episode about it to be compromised by a live band playing loudly in the background. So, listen as we extoll the virtues of this sports game that's not really a sports game.

If you want to hear the full live recording, it's available for all of our patrons on Patreon (see the links below).

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross cram-jam Super Mario Galaxy.

3D Mario is a tricky thing. Though Mario 64 forged a path, it arrived at a different feeling and flow than we were used to in our 2D Mario games. Over a couple of iterations, it feels like Nintendo finally arrived at the apotheosis of SM64-style play... and then they promptly abandoned it. So, let's take a close look at this weirdo entry in gaming's most established series.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross blast off and crash down with Starflight and Toe Jam & Earl.

This is the "Genesis Games that Want to be PC Games" special, as we look at two bizarre console titles from the early 90s. Starflight is the prototypical galaxy exploration simulator, with a wide world and tons of character. Meanwhile, Toe Jam & Earl is an early take on a rogue-lite whose style doesn't quite make up for its mechanical shortcomings.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross gang up to talk about Team Fortress 2.

For our fifth anniversary show, we wanted to do something special. We wanted to play a classic game with our community, and it turns out choosing Team Fortress 2 was a great move. Team Fortress goes way back, but Valve has taken the formula and engineered and iterated it to the point where it's a joy to play. Huge thanks to everyone who played with us!
