Show Notes

22:41 – Listener email discussion question “Long before your favorite classic game was known by all, and you were the only kid on your block who knew about it…was there a particular moment while playing when you thought, ‘This game is going to be one that people still remember twenty years from now’?”

38:11 – “Dream Fighter” by Scott Peeples

40:57 – Retro Showdown!

47:15 – Bailey’s pick “Dragon Warrior” (NES)

48:20 – Hunter’s pick “The Revenge of Shinobi” (Sega Genesis)

49:38 – Jason’s pick “Bushido Blade” (PS1)

50:38 – Bamboo is a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen plants in the grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. In bamboos, the internodal regions of the stem are hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, even of palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering. It can also be used for killing.

1:08:46 – And the tide rolls on. Have your participated in the show? You know we have a segment that is dedicated to you, the listener.

And while you’re at it, vote for your favorite game in the showdown poll and tell a friend. Remember: Secrets don’t make friends. And bamboo can be super dangerous.
