Get ready for an episode of mass confusion sponsored by the Land of the Rising Sun! Each podcaster has picked a retro game that never made it out of Japan.
O Canada! Our home and sentient land!
True patriot blood, will be spilled by command.
With beating hearts, we sacrifice,
The humans to the maw.
From far and wide,
O Canada, the meat found will be raw!
This week, the Podcastle is all about the hutts, the touchdowns, the spirit of teamwork, and the buried explosive ordnance. We also cover a great listener question that invites us to list our hangups with the RPG genre.
Listeners, look at this Podcastle. Every week, this Podcastle needs to fill time talking about nothing in particular for 20 minutes. For just an email a week, this Podcastle would receive the full benefits of a Listener Discussion Question. No more would it have to create meta conversations about the lack of listener discussion questions; it would be free to answer questions, just like the other podcasts.
Please email generously to podcast@1morecastle.com.
Thank you.
Jason’s back from Olde Englande, and he has brought the class. Prepare for a refined, proper, and regal podcast. As it was the olde fashione, with Jim the Dolphin.
Since Jason was out committing regicide, we’ve got Ryan of Retro Rampage filling in. He may be a robot. Then again, Hunter may be a clone and Bailey, well… let’s just say we wouldn’t not not not not be not not surprised if he wasn’t not an alien.
Do you know why pi is an irrational number? Because it loves you unconditionally. It doesn’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, so long as you’re not a prime number (old hatreds die hard).
WE SELL ONLY THE BEST TO U! WE HAVE SENDING TO YOU BY MAIL PST, BUT IT MAY TKAE MANY TIME TO GET TO YOU. PLESE RATE US A+++++++ FOR YOUR CHEAP CABLE! THANK YUO!
This house of podcast cards we’ve built is falling apart around us. Bailey and Jason pick games that Hunter can’t trash talk, Hunter makes a revelation about the Retro Showdown rules, and the union we contracted to make our header images is on strike, so we had to make do. We’ve had a good run, guys.
DING!
Dr. Juggernaut is DING! here in full force, and he brought DING! along a strong addition DING! to his DING! medical DING! team: a bell. (DING!)
In other news, we make the official decision on the best point-and-click adventure game of all time, and we spend a bit too much time talking about dancing phalli.
DING!
“Stop dribbling, Scottie!” Michael Jordan said as the T-rex stared them down. “Their vision is based on movement!” Charles Barkley mumbled something about chaos theory.
In this episode, we answer a listener email and Bailey tries to coin a new phrase. The coining process was more of a failure than my sock puppet piano lesson business (Sock puppets can’t play piano, nor do they have any inclination to learn).
Take a slow, deep breath. Find your centre. Imagine your future. Zen your meditation. Now, turn to your left, exhale, and spit out mulched grass. This is the first step on your spirit journey. The second step is listening to the podcast past the break. Also, emailing us is good for your karma.
It’s the last podcast of 2012, and we’ve got a packed show for you: A listener email, a new impromptu segment involving horrible chewing noises, and some great moments when we reminisce about how Bob Hope pulled down the ref’s pants and dunked on the opposite team’s captain.
Wake yourselves! The British are coming with a new episode of the podcast! Our forward scouts report they’ve got a great discussion question this week suggested by a listener email, and an all-Nintendo Retro Showdown.
Knock knock! Who’s there? It’s FREEDOM. Oh look, it brought along its best friend LISTENER EMAIL. (Eagle screech)
