Quasar with Fries EP10: VIDEO GAMES! Retro-gaming, addiction and bad movie adaptations.

For episode 10 of the podcast, Rich and Wayne decided to shake things up a bit and dedicate the entire conversation to gaming. The boys walk discuss their first consoles—they are both old, so the Atari 2600 gets specific mention here—some of their favorite games like the God of War and Zelda series, and how video games have evolved over the years from simple arcade classics like Pong and Asteroid to complex open world environments. Plus, Rich and Wayne discuss how video games have faired when crossing over into the world of TV shows and movies. They discuss the worst video game adaptations of all time like the original Super Mario Bros. Movie and phenomenal hits like the Max adaptation of The Last of Us. There's a whole lot more to dig into as well.
