RJ Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hmm 100+ min of British 8-bit computers on Retronauts. I usually skip those articles in RetroGamer magazine. Hope my interest is held, or I'll have to go back to Retro League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have now realized that when a retro gaming podcast tries to do a comedy sketch, it stands a very high chance of completely missing the mark & going over the listeners' heads.

S1500 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm on the fence about Watch out for Fireballs. I've never heard a podcast use fancy words like "vernacular". They do pepper obscure words here & there between the cussing. 2 hours to talk about a game is good. 4 hours is a bit much. But I don't have to listen to it.

RJ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Yes I was gonna mention their vocabulary- they sound educated & knowledgable on the subject w/out being snobbish. I enjoyed their "Hardware" ep- they admit the NES is +/- where it all began for them, though one of them had & was familiar with the 2600. Sadly, they referred to the 5200 & 7800 systems as the "5400" & "7200". Whoops. Edited July 16, 2014 by RJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's funny. Kind of karmic balance for the fancy words. Don't listen to the opening sketches. They don't make sense. They remind me of the Squadron of Shame's sketches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If anyone happened to miss the nearby topic, playermissile is starting up "Player/missile" podcast, focusing on classic Atari 8-bit games & gaming magazines. Ep. 0 is out on iTunes. Influences mentioned are Flack,, Ferg, & No Quarter, so if all goes well it's gonna be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they can team up with the Antic guys for some crossover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you haven't been listening closely to the Intellivisionaries! The only time I've heard the word "concatenate" on a podcast. I like when people aren't afraid to use 3 dollar words. I listened to the Zelda ep and I really enjoyed it. I don't mind the cussing, that's how I talk in real life anyway. I'll have to pick and choose because there are very few games they've done that I've actually played. and from what RJ said earlier, I doubt they will be doing any games before the NES era. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I found a non-video game related podcast that's a hoot. The Rialto Report. This guy interviews porn stars from the 1970s and 1980s, mostly New Yorkers. Real nostalgic. If it were not for the topic, it would be perfect for The Throwback Network.

S1500 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 So far enjoying The Rialto Report. You barely hear a peep from the interviewer. No talk of CGE. Fun factoid: The classic theme to The People's Court was originally used in a porno called "Barbara Broadcast". Back then, the golden age of porn had storylines, and video games didn't. Now it's the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a TI, and didn't know anyone who did, but I always thought it looked like a cool computer. You've covered it a bit on your podcast already. Why not expand on that a little more?
