We’re back again talking about Pokemon this week in remembrance of a good friend and good person who has left us much too soon. As a fellow member of the East Coast Pokemon League, Pernell wants to present to you a selection of excellent Pokemon music and memories in honor of this great person. Rob also has some Pokemon questions that will go forever unanswered. We hope you enjoy it!

Podcast Rewind 2-10 Sports Games!

Posted by on in rhythm and pixels, ThrowbacksLeave a comment

I can't believe this was nearly 6 years ago and we haven't done another Sports themed episode! Granted, we don't exactly play a lot of sports games, but Rob did back in the 16-bit generation! Listen in as we talk about golf games, racing games, and just how amazing is that F1 song on the NES. It's too good!

Podcast Rewind! 1-9 Shopping!

Posted by on in rhythm and pixels, ThrowbacksLeave a comment

In the first "World" of our podcast, we were still finding our footing. Asking ourselves: "What makes the greatest podcast in the world work? And how we can do just the opposite of that?" Our answers still revolve around sharing great video game music, and the results are the same: fame around the world and all the gummy-bears Pernell can eat!

This throwback episode is all about great shopping music in video games! Menu music, really. But you know you've spent way more time than you care to admit choosing between an extra potion, or that fancy new sword!

Episode 37-2 Get By With a Little Help

Posted by on in rhythm and pixels, World 37Leave a comment

We’ve all been there, stuck in a video game. Maybe for a short while, maybe for weeks, maybe even for years! Who do you call? This week on the show we’re trading stories of GameFAQs and support groups we consulted that enhanced our experience! There’s also a lengthy tangent on video rental stores, for some reason.

Podcast Rewind! 3-3 Rhythm Games

Posted by on in rhythm and pixels, ThrowbacksLeave a comment

We're setting the way-back machine for 2016 for when we first talked about rhythm games! Rob and Pernell's friendship was forged the fires of rhythm gaming, so it's natural they would have a lot to say about it! We tried to cover rhythm games from all over the spectrum, and not just things like DDR and Guitar Hero.

Podcast Rewind is our chance to highlight favorite episodes that can't be found on our feed anymore. It's also a way to allow us to catch up on life 🙂 We're planning on getting back to weekly new episodes, but until then, enjoy the rewind!

Episode 37-1 The Games We Miss

Posted by on in rhythm and pixels, World 37Leave a comment

We’re getting super nostalgic this week as we long for all the games and characters we love and would love to see again! Our show is a special live Patreon episode, so all our tracks and testimonials are picked by our listeners! Also on this show, look out for Rob’s “Video Game Easter Egg” quiz! Which is really just an excuse to try and make Pernell laugh.

Protagonists, antagonists, adorable chaos. Call them what you will, but people are obsessed with their cats. And of course you put a cat in a video game and that’s it we need to play it! We’re talking about all things feline in this week’s show! And you know us, we’re talking about loads of things inbetween. And you can blame that on this week’s guest, Chel Wong!
