  • Josh is so incredibly knowledgeable and really knows how to keep his guests talking about the games each episode. I love tuning into an episode about a game that I thought I knew a lot about and learning way more than I came in with. Very HIGHLY recommended.

  • Still Loading Podcast is one of the most informative podcasts on video gaming. The host does an amazing job of bringing on passionate and informed guests when he is covering a game and some great story tellers when he does more interview style episodes. Whatever topic he is covering, you will know things after listening that you did not know before. And if you're in the mood for some lighter content, this crazy dude has watched and recorded episodes about every cartoon in Captain N.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Still Loading #378: The Super Nintendo Entertainment System w/ Nadia Oxford and Dan Greenberg
Q: What was the dominant dynamic in the SNES life cycle and how did it shape its legacy?
The console wars between Nintendo and Sega defined the era, driving aggressive marketing, exclusive games, and rapid technological and strategic shifts that ultimately cemented the SNES's place in gaming history.
Still Loading #374: The Adventures of Bayou Billy w/ Josh Folan
Q: Would you consider Bayou Billy worth revisiting today for its ideas or is it more of a cautionary tale?
It's a fascinating case study in ambition and production constraints; while the ideas are strong—multi-genre, strong art direction, and cinematic touches—the execution fails to deliver a cohesive, satisfying experience, making it more of a cautionary tale than a classic to replay routinely.
Still Loading #374: The Adventures of Bayou Billy w/ Josh Folan
Q: What stands out about the localization and how it affected the game's reception?
The localization choices are wild and deliberate, from the over-the-top intro text to the way Annabelle's character is framed, and the NA version's higher difficulty was likely a response to rental markets and perceived consumer behavior, not purely design logic.
Still Loading #374: The Adventures of Bayou Billy w/ Josh Folan
Q: How did you first play The Adventures of Bayou Billy, and what were your early impressions?
I first got into it in my adolescent days through a mix of curiosity and the cover art; the driving stage stuck with me as a memorable impression, but as I revisited it, the complaint was that the game never fully nails any of its modes, leading to a frustrating overall experience.
Still Loading #395: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault w/ Justin Grandfield
Q: How does Medal of Honor Allied Assault compare to later war shooters in terms of design philosophy?
It prioritizes historical accuracy, atmosphere, and careful level design over relentless action, which helped set a blueprint for later missions in Call of Duty and other WWII titles with more cinematic pacing.
