RJ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Retronauts does their Atari episode. Better be good, they'll be under heavy scrutiny here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) A terrorist has planted a bomb somewhere in the city. Kaplan & Whitehead this Friday night at 9, on ABC. Funny, I looked up "The Good Guys", the canceled Fox comedy/drama from 2010 on Wikipedia today. ferg, you spruced up this episode quite a bit. I like it. It's like me at some parts.

RJ Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Just over halfway thru Retronauts & their info seems iffy & questionable, lots of them saying "...is that correct?" "...is this right?" "The way I heard it is..." IIRC at one point they claim the 5200 got a keyboard, & didnt seem sure which arcade games Atari made when they listed some. They protect themselves early on, mentioning Marty Goldberg & "Business Is Fun" as a more definitive historical account of Atari. No kidding! It felt as if they struggled since they didnt have/couldnt tie in their usual RPG subject matter/material, although prior to the main discussion they go on about Earthbound awhile, which I'm sure they felt more comfortable discussing. ...& there is NO Eskimo character in Kasumi Ninja- which IMO was no worse than any other fighting game of the time.

I'm not surprised. They are out of their league. Unless it's about some Japanese RPG that only 8 people in America have played, and somehow manages to tie in Kajima, they won't know what they are talking about. Period. It's like me doing a whole podcast ep about 17th century French authors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yep it's funny early on as I listened I thought in a certain way, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing if it weren't for Atari. & I certainly feel such "seasoned" pedigreed pros like themselves oughta know more about/be more familiar with this subject.

S1500 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Warning: Do not operate heavy machinery whilst listening to Floppy Days. Off-topic plug: A friend has made a podcast(Roy Folkker on the show) covering comics, table top RPGs, etc. http://thegeeksmenagerie.net/ Yeah, he's gonna talk about FF somewhere, I just know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicaster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 A new arcade podcast has appeared! http://arcadeoutsiders.com/ Will give it a try tonight or tomorrow. 1 episode I listened to this the other day and liked it a lot. Those of you with a low threshold of pain for certain four-letter words might want to skip it, though. I've also been enjoying the NYPWPodcast top 100 (or whatever) rundown. I normally don't give a shart about anything after 16-bit, but listening to those shows has actually got me curious enough to think about checking out some newer games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Arcade Outsiders final grade: C+. Worth subscribing. Goes into depth about technical aspects about arcade games, and doesn't bite one's tongue about arcade game buying/selling stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Oooh, C+ only? i'm just about 20 min in where they turn the f-ckometer up to 11. I believe Gameroom Junkies gave us the heads-up on their existence. I love another arcade-themed podcast, & I hope they realize they dont need to swear/be edgy to be good & maintain listeners.

ComputerSpaceFan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Since I can now make comments (having actually read what's on the front page) I just thought I'd say again that John is an awesome guy, I listened to his Video Game Outsiders podcast quite a lot and I look forward to trying this new show.

RJ Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Decent 1st effort. Had some audio issues & they need to rely way less on that Siri gag. I wish them the best- like No Quarter, the sky's the limit when discussing arcade games. Interesting that one guy is here in MN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah I noticed a fellow MN resident in the group of voices. Yes, only a C+, for it got a bit cussy & sometimes a bit too much off-topic where you don't know what they were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can someone PM me a hint as to next week's No Quarter game? I know I've heard it before, think I have it & maybe even played it recently, but I cant pinpoint it & it's bugging me. Is it a Williams game?

RJ Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) The Arcade Outsiders podcast is a hot topic over on klov (23 pages! But their "pages" are shorter so more like 10 of ours) Their fellow klov-ian gave it a D+. & I cant tell if it's a running joke but one guy over there really doesnt like them. The host admitted he over-cussed & will curb it & the Siri use (though Siri is not going away). Something about a 41 yr old man saying "that cabinet is fucking sick, dude!" just feels wrong. Oh, & theres a topic there where members post their LIT UP home arcade pics, I know I've seen some of Phet's there- & you dont have to join up to see. On page 6 of General Arcade Discussion thread.

RJ Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Now I remember I briefly listened to main host John's "Video Game Outsiders" podcast yrs back. Wasnt retro enough so I quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 You knew it had to be comin'! Well here is the August Roundup aptly titled, "Twerking 9 to 5".

RJ Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Looking fwd to the TT interview. I know he's known for his music but i miss his G4 reviews shows from the early '00s. Edited September 1, 2013 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Great to hear Scott stroking himself for Tommy T, making sure he knows he's involved with the MAGFest arcade.

RJ Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeh they were WAY loose this time. I think SoCal kinda gave them the go-ahead to goof off, due to lack of news items. He says something like that just before the podcast takes a nosedive. IIRC theres nothing worth hearing in the final half hr or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
