95 – 1 Board Castle

Original air date: Jul 7, 2013We built this castle on lawnmowers, sock pianos, juggernauts, and reclaimed lumber.Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis)Our interlude track was Mecha FatNick “The Shinobi”Show Notes16:54 – Listener email discussion question “Bailey, why does Hunter adore Sega? Hunter, why does Jason cling to his PC? Jason, why is Bailey the NINTENDO Legend?”23:26 – Mecha FatNick “The Shinobi”24:53 – Retro Showdown!28:21 – Bailey’s pick “Mortal Kombat: Special Forces” (Playstation)29:38 – Hunter’s pick “Contra: Legacy of War” (Playstation)30:38 – Jason’s pick “Star Fox: Adventures” (Gamecube)31:38 – Some video game series are great, aren’t they? And then something happens and one title makes the whole thing go to spit. We bring those games to you, dear listener, in hopes that you will pick the worst (or is it the right?) choice for the worst game in a popular game series.49:42 – So Bailey’s a little upset about his one vote off the past couple of shows. Frankly, I think it’s hilarious. But he is the Editor-in-Chief and if we upset the Chief then there will dark clouds over the horizon. Or he’ll just be upset again. So make your voice be heard in the vote for your favorite pick in the showdown poll. Good luck; we are all counting on you.
