Tim on a time crunch - who knew? Episode 25 is just catching up and hanging out and talking about classic games and how they've evolved over a few short generations - from the N64/PSOne/Dreamcast era to the GameCube/Xbox/PS2 era even into the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era. The focuses have changed, but a lot of super simple games have stayed around.
