Rob2586 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Congrats, Ferg! Thanks for the entertaining, informative, and consistent show on one of the best video game consoles I missed out on as a kid! You deserve this, my friend! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I didn't realize until recently that "golden poddie" can sound dirty, but I got someone else to say it. So it's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferghead Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thank you guys. I haven't listened to CCG yet, but I will soon. I'm very happy that you like what I'm doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2586 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the shout-out for Genesis Gems on the newest CCGN, by the way. Means a lot coming from you guys. Landon and I are renaming it Sega Gems, and we're hoping to start it back up in about two weeks. We'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again!

RJ Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Yup, tried numerous times the past few days, from retrying downloading it, to deleting then resubscribing to get the latest episode...no good All my other subscribed podcasts download just fine Edited November 27, 2013 by RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Retroist made a recent FB post suggesting people play Food Fight on XBLA. Isn't that like a mom-&-pop retro game store telling people to do their game shopping on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Are you still having trouble with it?Couldnt go without it any longer- listening now thru your website. EDIT: now I get a couple minutes in, just when Ninja Gaiden is mentioned, it starts over but the counter keeps going like nothing happened (doesnt reset).

EDIT: now I get a couple minutes in, just when Ninja Gaiden is mentioned, it starts over but the counter keeps going like nothing happened (doesnt reset). *sigh* Yeah, I think the embedded player on Kris's web site is problematic. I had the same issue a couple episodes back, but it wasn't doing it for him. Try downloading the MP3 itself straight from the website as opposed to streaming it through the player. In the meantime I will send Kris a message to look into it. If it's happening to you as well as myself, who knows who else it could be happening to. Here's a link straight to the MP3 if you haven't done so already: http://static.squarespace.com/static/513ca0bde4b00efcff56f77a/t/52922ac7e4b070d80c5b4c5f/1385310919523/IPG%20Podcast%20Ep%20057.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I did my good deed for the day and ordered a new iPod armband via the Throwback Network's Amazon affiliate link. My current iPod armband is worn out & smells real bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Think I'm ready to let go of Player One podcast. What with the latest-gen underway, I detect that's all they're gonna discuss from now on...not that they discussed much retro anyway. I mainly listened for the humor, but the ratio is unbearable now.

thevnaguy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 As for Stalking the Retro, iTunes actually downloaded an episode. Aside from the f-bomb heavy "wtf" game segment, it's an alright podcast. There's 51 episodes. Rating: C+ Not a bad score for just listening to one episode . Was not one of the better ones at that Episode 50 would have been a better one to listen to with the interview with Melanie Bunton the daughter of Dan Bunton the creator of M.U.L.E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I liked the fact the Pretenders' "Space Invaders" song was played at the end of the SI episode at the end. There's actually about 7 or 8 Space Invaders-flavored songs out there back in the day. Don't have them all yet, but you know you have a cultural phenomenon when that many people sing about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle lives there, and I visited him in '89. Remember playing Gondomania(a strangeish game) there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flack Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 When I began my second wave of arcade collecting (in 1994), the first machine I picked up was Heavy Barrel, and the seller threw in a Gondomania board, marquee and bezel to go with it. Both games use those rotating Data East controllers (I also picked up a Time Soldiers PCB to swap in from time to time as well). Like a lot of machines I owned I found all of those were a lot more fun with two people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) does anyone else believe those rotating joystick games wouldve been better with robotron style controls? Edited December 5, 2013 by chrisbid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 does anyone else believe those rotating joystick games wouldve been better with robotron style controls? It depends on the speed of the game. Robotron is twitch-fast, so you need 0 delay to switch firing directions. Slower-paced games like Heavy Barrel, Ikari Warriors, etc let you have a bit more time to rotate to line up the shot. I guess the middle implementation would be Tron's "shoot the MCP core" level where you have a dial to aim with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
