Hello, The Listener! Welcome to a very special podcast special; it's the one hundredth DLC episode! That's right, the century mark! Triple digits! The Grand Hundo! We are so very thankful for the support and we sincerely hope that we can continue to entertain and maybe help teach and foster a more generally positive community around games. Failing that, the world can always use more fart jokes. In the episode, Jeb illustrates just how A Lot Ni No Kuni 2 is, we talk about the previous 99 episodes, there's some hockey sidetracking, and a special Retro Gaming News special looks back at where it all began.

Another month and we are back again The Listener! Personal and scheduling conflicts have messed with the recording opportunities but we made time to do a Podcasting just for you! We start off with a diversion about board games and their unpleasant relationships with colonialism before catching up on another month of videos game. For anyone interested in that thing what Jeb is on about, you can check out the FF4 Free Enterprise website here! http://ff4-free-enterprise.com

Hello and apologies for the delay, The Listener! You may have been worried about our absence but we are back, and the only thing to worry about is Talen's French speaking. In this episode we discuss the missing month of games, which surprisingly enough is only in part about Monster Hunter World. A strange series of events lead us to talking about Gex, and well, you can see where that led us.

Happy new year, The Listener! Yes, we are back, no, December didn't happen. Don't worry about it, December isn't real anyways. What's important is that it's January and you know what that means - a retrospective of all the everything that was 2017 was and a naming scheme that makes barely any sense even in context.

It took a minute, but we are back with the 96th episode of the Downloadable Concept Podcast! To celebrate, Fox and Jeb made the incredible joke for this episode title. In the episode proper, Fox talks about her fashion forwarding, while Jeb reveals their long-running fondness for the .hack series. Then lag happens and a lot of it. Multiple attempted recordings later, we then answer some Real The Listener Questions from Real The Listeners! Please give Talen infinite thanks for piecing together an episode out of all the technical problems.

Happy November, The Listener! We've got a special treat for you, as we sorta discuss current gaming news in the form of World of Warcraft Classic. There's some talk about rage quitting, Jeb is back on their Neptunia kick, and Fox gets surprised by a dog. Retro Gaming News pays respects to the Kinect, which is more than we can say about its launch titles. Spoilers - There's a Sonic.

Hello, The Listener, we are back! So it turns out every time we try to record in October, we get slightly sicker. But we managed to get something together for y'all. A very quick run-through of what we played for the past while (made quicker by some technical issues) precedes a very thoughtful letter from a special boy, and a look back at what came out ten years ago that wasn't quite so enduring.

Hello, The Listener! We're back with a brand new edition. After a brief run of nostalgia, we take a dabble in the realm of asymmetrical games and talk about a few choice titles. Then in Retro Gaming News we... Well, that's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?

Hello there, The Listener. This week, lag happened! Hooray! We were all ready to go and have topical discussions but technical whatsitproblems happened and caused Jeb to live further in the past. We pushed on through to deliver The Content, so please bear with us. Retro Gaming News was a lovely little 2016 September Sampler, which I believe is when Jeb was actually speaking from.

Welcome The Listener to September! Accidentally a topic emerged as we got sidetracked to talk about games that started out not so good but got much better. Meanwhile Fox catches everyone up on Yuri Jam Swans, as well as a little more talk about Sonic Mania - you may have heard of it. In a Retro Gaming News twist, we look back at what Microsoft promised at E3 in 2014.

Welcome back, The Listener! I hope you are feeling well. You are important and you matter. Fox and Talen are back from a conventional weekend, so it's time to catch up! Immediately the plan gets thrown out in favour of talking about our favourite hedgy-wedgy. Retro Gaming News is a little bit of 2015 to cleanse the palette after the haphazard episode, wherein Talen forgot the most important release of the month.

We've got a treat for you, The Listener! In this episode, we *spoilers*, and *spoilers*, before discussing Arbitrary Decisions and in doing so, *spoilers*. Retro Gaming News is, of course, *Spoilers*.

Welcome to August, The Listener! The most August of months. In this episode, we talk about a few series that may have gone on a little longer than necessary in a not at all self-aware fashion, followed by a discussion of the importance of capitalism as the world is literally ending around the entreprenuering individuals. Retro Gaming News looks back at some choice selections from August 2016.

We're back, The Listener! Two of us have escaped the Mimic Invasion. The Munchlax Brigade is recovering, so it's just Talen and a Jeb this go around. After the Mimic times, we realized games are no longer fun, so after talking about the game experiences of the week, we talk about a really fun thing - merch and feelies! In Retro Gaming News, we travel to the far off world of 2015 and the re-release heavy month of July.

Beware, the Listener! In this episode, not everything is quite what it appears to be. A theme occurs organically after accidentally connecting a common thread in what we've been playing. After that, Retro Gaming News goes to 2012 for some games that are... strangely familiar.

After last week's episode totally didn't disappear into the aether, the crew is back and arguably better than ever. This week includes Jeb discussing Poi, which he mispronounced as Pio, before an actual topic emerges. Retro Gaming News travels to the far flung past of 2016, where we all take time to realize "Wait that came out last year?"

We're back, thanks to the contributions of you, The Listener, on our Patreon! Jeb has been able to circumvent the desk-based plight that befell the previous episode and I hope Talen doesn't read these because he'll rip his hair out over that pun. I'll level with you, The Listener, I don't know exactly what has and hasn't made the cut because we were even more a rambling mess this time. But we do talk about MMOs and Mobile Games, before heading to Retro Gaming News to celebrate some important 25th Birthdays!

A short one this week, on account of a desk-related incident in the Canada Division of DLC. But we do manage a brief discussion of Star Ocean 3, starring Fayt Leingod, the second-best Star Ocean game. In Retro Gaming News, we examine the Golden Age of Fox as we look back at May 2001. Talen was there too, don't worry. We locked him in THE OTHER ROOM.

Hello The Listener! A whole lot of everything happened over the past, like, month, but after ten thousand years we're free. In this episode, Jeb tells us about a month's worth of RPGs, while Fox and Talen regale us with tales from their conventional life. In Retro Gaming News, we take a look quick look back at the distant past of May 2016, which sure was a month.

This week: Hello The Listener! We almost talked about Full Throttle Remastered but had to get sidetracked because our brand is strong. Then we take time to talk about some overlooked titles from 2007, where something magical happens.

This week: Hello The Listener! It's been a minute, so time to catch up on what the crew has been up to over the past few weeks. We rehash some old jokes, and before hitting up 1995 in Retro Gaming News, we inadvertently announce a new segment.

This week: Despite the concentrated efforts of everything going wrong, The Listener, we have managed to cobble together an episode for this week! We talk a bit more about the games we'd talked about before, and then we stumble haphazardly through a meaty 1993 in retro gaming news.

This week: Hello again again again again, The Listener! This week, our entire crew has been playing recent titles, even Talen, so we're slightly relevant! In the land of retro gaming news, we look at 1989 for game releases as well as interesting industry information from that particular year.

This week: Team Australia had some business to attend to, so we had to look deep in our hearts for the immortal words of Sonic M. Hedgehog - we had to go fast. But we did get in some talk about Torment, both the Planescape and Numenara varieties, and an insufferable number of callbacks. In Retro Gaming News, we may have returned to March 2007 but forgot enough about it to make better jokes.

This week: While thunderstorms in the world of Jeb threatened to delay the podcast, your favourite DLC crew persevered and delivered an episode to you, our dear The Listener, in back-to-back weeks! Join us as we talk about Fire Emblem, a few sidetracks, and in Retro Gaming News, we explore the distant past of 1985 by special request. Also Gregg rulz ok.

This week: Thanks to a stunning array of scheduling conflicts, your favourite Can-Australian Trio has been unable to yell at each other for several weeks. But the wait is over, The Listener, and so catch up with what the crew has been playing, as well as a look at a February that happened several Februaries ago.

This week: The holidays are over and we are back with a brand new edition! In the season three premiere, our intrepid and semi-humorous hosts talk about games played over the break. Meanwhile in wolves hunt in packs, Arisen Retro Gaming News, we discuss the far-flung past of January 2016 wolves hunt in packs, Arisen.

This week: The last episode of 2016 brings our last chance to tell you the Games Of 2016 we enjoyed the most, and recommend you try out! We also talk about games that sadly, passed away, in 2016, and the videogame movies that came out in 2016!

This week: This record was done while Fox was sick, Elli was overwarm and there was just not a lot going on (featuring Devil May Cry's Dante). We delve into the history of games that died in 2015, the investment schemes of Team Skull, and the continued photographic adventures of Final Fantasy XV.

This week: Did you like last week's episode? Well this is more of it. We talk about Final Fantasy XV, we talk about Pokemon Sun and Talen talks more about Dishonored 2. And then, we go back to 1994 and correct all the games that we missed last week because Oh my goodness, 1994!

This week: Talen made an offhanded joke about 1994 in the pre-edit, and that led to him being subjected to a hail of rocks and sneers! So, in deference to this Mighty Good Year, we're talking 1994 music, World of Final Fantasy, Pokemon Sun, Dishonored 2, and for Retro Gaming News - of course - we go back to 1994!.

This week: Scheduling meant we had to record at a different time, which also meant with different prep and that meant that Talen's original idea was washed away in what amounts to one glorious ninety-minute long pile of complete and utter guff. Please, enjoy, laugh, and keep yourself safe.

This week: We talk about Boss Monsters!

This week: Spooooky games, odd digressions into inflated babies, October 2014 and the rite that would bring to life Count Wrenchula.

This week: We delve into what we're using Patreon money for (a mystery solving van), what Jeb thinks of Digimon, who cares what Yokai watch is, the rundown of MOAB, Fox is a terrible husband to her butler, and we run down the games that came out in October 2009!

This week: Jeb talks to us about Virginia, the fascinating David Lynch-em-up, Fox talks more about Xenosaga and giant honking robots under late capitalism, and Talen runs us through the arrange of weirdness and wonder that launched in September 2008!

This week: Holy shit we're back.

This week: I GOT IT DONE OKAY IT'S EDITED IT'S UP OKAY OKAY, GOING TO BED NOW GOING

This week: Talen Lee has been hiding a secret from the podcast for a few months now, and now that he's finished playing Dark Souls 1, it's time to admit it, and talk about it - and that's why we recruited an expert on the topic! Meet Amber!

This week: It's been a few weeks, so we catch up, talk about video and card games, and look back on the year of 1996, to see what kind of games celebrated their 20th anniversary!

This week: Today we talked about the year of Fox's birth, 1983!

This week: *blows dust off Wordpress inputs* Hello! We didn't plan on having three weeks off there, sorry! But now we're back, and we're exactly the same size we were, within system tolerances and local regulations pertaining to the transport of pokemon as cargo!

This week: Well, we threatened to do this - quite a few times, in fact! We told you that whenever we were totally stuck for a topic of interest, we would break the glass on one of those emergency cases, and so, this week's bumper 90 minute episode is a quick-as-we-can rundown of the absolutely amazing year in videogames that was 1998. We don't go in depth on any of these games - this is about providing you a historical note of just how dense this time was for gaming in general! Enjoy!

This week: We talk about Dark Souls III, about Shadows over Innistrad, about Commander Keen and Miitomo and of course, Retro Gaming News!

This week: I dunno, here's an episode or something. We make fun of Sonic the Hedgehog.

This week: With stresses from work and game jams and saving New York around them, our intrepid podcasters talk about unpolished, prototype games that Talen got to play at a class event. There's also a discussion about how all videogames named after books share a canon, which sounds legit.

This week: Amidst discussions of heartwarming anecdotes about little kids, hilariously bad interfaces for PC ports and Munchlax archery, we take some time to talk about pizza gaming, games you play on an indulgent level, and return to because it's fun and comforting, rather than because of some Greater Artistic Merit. There's also sound effects.

This week: Would you believe that we had, at the start of this segment, a plan for a segment? And then Super Hot happened and Mirror's Edge came up and SEGATA SANSHIRO JUDO FLIPPED THE ENTIRE PODCAST and now we're all just going to have a bit of a lie-down.

This week: In our efforts to talk - fairly sensibly - about Tom Clancy's The Division, we go way off the rails. There's Magic The Gathering talk, some gaming history, multiple cut sections of violent vituperation and for some reason we wind up talking about Art-house cinema and classical academic study of art. Really!

This week: Thanks to a technical error and family obligations, the team put together a low-edit podcast, with all the background hum of air conditioners that implies. But we talk about some videogames we've been playing lately and then dive into a particularly weird bit of retro gaming news, while also standing up for the right of Sonic the Hedgehog to not have a live action movie made about him.

This week: This week, we talk about The Blackwell Epiphany, Project Mirai DX, and Jonathon Blow's The Witness, a Jonathon Blow Game By Jonathon Blow. Then, after a rousing game of Retro Gaming News, we move on to talk at length about the really strange history of Sonic The Hedgehog as viewed by Wikipedia category lists. Steve!
