We are three idiots attempting to do a retrogaming podcast. We rarely finish the games we are supposed to finish and frequently get hung up on trivial things, but we really like old games.

The Spindash hosts fully embrace The Year of the Weeb by playing Fist of the North Star for the NES. The hosts discuss the game as well as the movies, and then in classic Spindash fashion, Nick's internet dies. True to the meme, it was "already dead."

This is an episode about Crystalis...sort of...this week the Spindash hosts find themselves very distracted by midlife crisis purchases, arcade machines, Mark Zuckerberg, obscure movies, and random game lists.

We're stringing you along and it's just not healthy...Don't let that get you down though, this week the Spindash hosts tackle one of Matt's childhood favorites, Ninja Gaiden for the NES (that's Ninja GUY-DEN for those in the back). Along the way, John attempts to feign modesty over a pickup bumper crop, the highlight of his year.
