    GamePro 77 - White Men Can't Jump [S1E3]
    2025/04/22
    TODAY'S ISSUE: GamePro No. 77, December 1995 (Internet Archive)

    Ty and Aidan are two short white guys who don't play basketball--but do love sports, and sports video games. We've had quite few pleas from listeners to break down a good review of a bad game, and GamePro 77 has the goods.

    Of course, there are plenty of other things to talk about in the issue, from the letters and ads to the Jim Davis re-draw of the GamePro rating scale featuring Garfield's face??

    We also drop our first-ever Letters section, featuring YOUR comments and reviews! So if you want to be read on the air, just rate or review FunFactor wherever you're getting your podcasts.

We talk about the book, Mike's life as a gamer and writer for some of the most prestigious shows in TV (including Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show, Full Frontal, and Bill Nye Saves the World), and what it even means to be a critic or commentator who writes out their words.

  • Game Players 75 - Chrono Trigger [S1E2]

    Game Players 75 - Chrono Trigger [S1E2]
    2025/04/08
    TODAY'S ISSUE: Game Players No. 75, September 1995 (Internet Archive)

    Ty and Aidan basically became friends over their shared love of Chrono Trigger, and everything it stood for as an artistic achievement in video games. Game Players was also their mutual favorite magazine--so Game Players No. 75, and its dual-writer review of Chrono Trigger, naturally looms large in the canon.

    Ty and Aidan flip through the rest of issue, freak out about the pen-pal section, and talk about the console-launch dynamics of the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Then they go long on Chrono Trigger, the review, and what it means to watch a game you thought you were weird for loving become remembered by history as one of the universally agreed-upon classics.
