Best retro gaming podcast. So play retro have an awesome balance of both content such as about the game chose to review that week, but also some relevant news and their personal life, around gaming. Because of this blend, their “Guess me game” short game contest they play together and their fun personalities this makes their show my go to, for first listen when i check my podcast list.
You guys are the best! If I need to improve my mood, I just turn you guys on and bask the glory of retro video game goodness
But it’s not just about the video games, you guys are a good time! Always having fun and goofing off I love it
Ive been listing to stories about cavities and teeth. Its just frustrating every retro podcast has so much filler. Id suggest "smashing bricks" (no affiliation) if anyone has a interest in a retro podcast thats more documentary / critical style
Podcast on Deus Ex: "Ex-Blizzard John Romero" !??
And then you are saying Ion Storm did nothing good except Deus Ex 1 but Anachronox is one of the best hidden gem that exists on this planet. And later they did Thief 3 with some few mods on modern PC (to remove loading times for example) is just a masterpiece of atmosphere.
(But really, anachronox)
Scott and Brian have an infectious love of all things gaming and retro, always a pleasure to listen to their insights into the game or topic of the show and they are genuinely passionate and entertaining guys to listen too.
