  • The Gamecube IS cool

    The GameCube was cool podcast is one of my favorites 😆 I did not grow up with the GameCube but this podcast is the reason why I bought a GameCube and I’ve been listening pretty much each week since the shrek episode. I loved the reviews for Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, and hit and run but there are so many good ones here. But I am playing through prime rn and loving it and I have Mike and Neil to thank for pushing me to get a Gamecube by their awesome experiences and interviews with others on the... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chibi-Robo
Q: What are your favorite areas in the game?
I really like the Jenny's room because it has the most fun with the concept of being so tiny, because there's this, I think it's like a doll house or a castle that you have to scale, but obviously being a little robot, there's a lot that goes into it sort of thing.
Chibi-Robo
Q: Was Nintendo have a game with this type of story today?
I don't think so. I think Nintendo might say that they would, but then they wouldn't because as a point of comparison, you remember when Tears of the Kingdom was going to come out and they said that it was going to be darker than Majora's Mask.
Chibi-Robo
Q: What is your favorite quest in this game?
I love the quest with the little egg people, they are the free rangers as they're called, because I think one of the eggs was captured by the pet dog in the household.
Rocket League
Q: What are some of your first memories of playing Rocket League?
The guest shares that he first heard about Rocket League from Giant Bomb's quick looks and immediately felt it was a game he had to play.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - The Game
Q: What got you into starting this Star Wars Escape Pod, this podcast?
Josh shares that his podcasting journey started just after The Force Awakens hype, motivated by fascinating discussions with friends about Star Wars.
