After spending a bit too long today on deciding what game I'd write about t some degree, I decided to do something a bit different. Since I haven't played anything I'd consider new over the past 24 hours for more than a few minutes (I tried Blue Dragon Plus... yeah, no) I decided to write about something different I tried new today; the gaming podcast Retronauts run by (I would presume) a staff member of 1Up.com (which I have never actually visited, and never intend to; I hear it's like IGN... ugh).
As is the case with most things, I first heard tell about this on SomethingAwful (big surprise there, right?) in the Gaming Podcast thread in the Games board and I figured I'd check it out since I have a lot of retro stuff myself, although I have nothing - and I do mean nothing - on these guys.
I only really listened to one "episode" (#74) but it was a celebratory episode for the approx. 20th anniversary of the Nintendo Gameboy, and what better way to celebrate than to talk about handheld gaming systems... apart from the Gameboy?
Maybe it's because of how much of a nerd I am but I absolutely loved it. I got most, if not all, of the jokes and I even learned about systems that I didn't even know existed. I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen at least once, just a bit of a warning; if you get the RSS feed, you can't seem to go back any earlier than episode 56. That may be my PSP dicking me around or something, but I don't think they're available without a separate download. It's gotta be worth it though.
