Watch Out for Fireballs!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross capture the hearts of PRGE by talking about Pokémon Yellow.

This is our Portland Retro Gaming Expo live show for 2016, where we talk about Pokémon Yellow, and Gen1 Pokémon in general. The game is an archaic drag mechanically, but it has the fundamental core that Nintendo would polish to a shine over the years. And boy-oh-boy, that personality!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and joined us at PRGE this year. We look forward to seeing you again.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk over Bastion's narration.

It's a newer game, but ancient when it comes to the fast-moving indie scene. The Kid is on a mission to reassemble the old world after a Calamity, but at what price? Bastion takes the action RPG formula and leans heavy on player choice and mechanical intricacy. Mixed with its poignant story and pitch perfect presentation, Bastion truly earns its spot on this show.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross burst with joy over Resident Evil 4.

We held off on playing this game for too long. There's so much going on here. So much great design, so many memorable moments, that our discussion of Resident Evil 4 is our longest single episode to date. Leon Kennedy is back, this time on a mission to rescue the President's daughter Ashley from a mysterious cult in rural Spain. His mission marks a turning point for the Resident Evil series, for Survival Horror, and for all action games that followed it.

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).
