    The first episode of the as yet named podcast where we watch terrible movies on netflix streaming and record a commentary track for anyone who is foolish enough to listen to the humor. This week we watched "The Stuff" a movie so horrible that it at the end it doesn't even try to hide the fact that it is racist. Add to that the bad guy in the movie literally being a plastic container of Marshmallow Fluff and you kind of have something that most people would normally walk away from if they saw in a store or heard recommended. We man up and sit through it so you can feel like you aren't just drinking with alone to get through it!

    If you are like Stark and I the Disney Afternoon played a rather large role in your life growing up. If you aren't like us, well I don't really know why you are listening to a video game podcast about old things. Also we talk about Skyrim, if you hadn't noticed by the title or anything like that. For me this was a great experience, finally being able to play some of the games that I lusted after as a child--oddly only to discover that they kind of weren't nearly as good as Nintendo Power said that they were. Also, we are looking for suggestions for the next episode.

    Stark and I take a break from talking about all of the retro games that fill our minds and took this time to talk about the best games that have come out this year. We hand out some awards, talk about our biggest disappointments, and even try to make sure that some people get thoroughly angry at some of the choices that we have. After all of that we decide that the best thing to do would be to steal a page from fellow retro gaming podcast, "Retronauts," and talk about the Disney afternoon on the next pod. No worries, we are even going to talk about the cartoons as well.

    Did you miss listening to us talk about old games that pretty much no one remembers as much as we missed talking about it? While I am not going to wait for your answer to record and post the podcast we decided that the best thing to do would just be to go ahead and record another one. This week we are talking about Lunar, and Lunar 2, along with some of the --mostly-- forgotten others in the seires. Along the way we discuss anime, Atlier Totori, Dark Souls, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, and some current news. Let us know what you think in the comment section below, and feel free to follow us on twitter or like us on facebook. We are shallow and need instant gratification like that.

    So in an attempt to keep giving our fans content we decided that since Stark and I were in the same area, we should probably record something and call it a podcast. Turns out that we didn't do what we were supposed to, but instead just end up talking for about an hour regarding life, the universe, and everything. As always, when we do something different, let us know what you think.

    Oddly this week seems to have been kind of a hard conversation to have, even though we rarely have trouble talking about anything ever, as it was about an entire system that we have already talked so much and so long at length about. Needless to say we do go on for awhile, and bring up a great deal of memories and awesome that had to do with the system. We also talk about the new Deus Ex game for awhile as well, so there is that too.

    Stark and I recorded a podcast. It is long. I knew that something was awry when Stark started the pre-cast conversation by referring to what we were about to do as "the podcast of his dreams". Something else seemed to be up as he seemingly had nothing to say in that prep conversation, and even told me that he brought notes. For someone that I have struggled to get an hour long "podcast friendly" conversation out of, he came to play. Try as I might I could not shake him from talking about anime. If you are looking for an expert on the subject, I think that we found ourselves one. You guys wanted to hear about anime, and we did that for you. From our introduction in middle/high school all the way to current, we talk about everything noteworthy about our lives and anime.

    You want to talk about a game that, for me, could not have aged worse? I think that at this point in my life I would have to bring up Resident Evil 2. For a game that basically help my entire attention for almost year I there was nothing that could even touch its place in my mind until RPGs started getting super insane in the way of Disgaea. We stay on topic, again, for awhile this week before we just start to break down and talk about anything we can think of-- summer of arcade, movies, what games we are playing, and pretty much anything else that we can think of at the moment. Did I mention that Stark starts calling me the film dick because of my taste in movies? True story.

    So this week I start off with a story and Stark finishes with arguably a much better one. We also talk about Donkey Kong for awhile. It is funny that I can remember a couple of years ago when Penny-Arcade took a website, GameSpy, to task over the fact that they had made a list of over-rated games and Donkey Kong was number one on it. Turns out that everyone is sort of coming around to that conclusion. We talk about other things, I bring up editing the pod --but if we are being honest that isn't ever going to happen. We talk about all kinds of fighting games and old games, which is on topic and I almost feel like we should be rewarded for. Next Podcast coming sooner then later.

    Just so everyone is aware, I have been in the process of moving. I know that I probably should have had this cast up two weeks ago, but it was kind of hard with no internet. Anyway, this week we talk about Half-Life! The odd thing about Half-Life is that you can't really begin to talk about it without talking about the massive influence that it had on gaming in general. When you start talking about that you have to bring up Half-Life 2, because beside the Unreal Engine almost everything good in gaming pretty much has its roots in there. This is also probably the first time that Stark and I honestly didn't feel like we ended up giving the game of the week enough of a conversation, and kind of want to go on more. Interesting because we have been talking about doing a spoiler cast on Portal 2 seeing as I am currently working my way through that entire experience as well. Shorter this week as I had to run out and keep moving stuff, but don't worry we record tomorrow as well, so there is another cast that is probably going to be stupid long coming soon anyway. We will be talking about Donkey Kong Country. Remember to follow us on twitter, like us on Facebook, and bombard us with as much email and comments as you possibly can.

    This week we talk about Blaster Master and everything awesome that has involved with it. I would love to blame this podcast going up late on my new job, but the truth of the matter is that I have just been sitting on possibly some of the easiest to edit content that we may have ever recorded. I don't know why it hasn't gotten upload, and you can blame that entirely on me. Besides the standard block of video game talk we also discuss important things like anime and old movies that no one besides the two of us would ever care about. You know, the things that really matter in life. Also, tell us how you feel about the new-- much longer-- format. We always love reading any and all fan feedback.

    Spoony Bard Podcast: Episode 32: I Be Rapping Terrible

    I don't know about most people, but back in the day I was terrible at Parappa, and while time has made me mildly better at the game I can't say that it is really something that I can ace on the first try--or even the 12th. After bringing up the main thread of old games we talk for awhile about anime and some of our favorite shows that are coming back, namely Futurama and how awesome John Benjamen has a Van is. We bring up my new iPhone and why Stark thinks that I am becoming one of the many faceless mobs, and why Dungeon Siege probably isn't helping that cause that much. Also I discuss the lengths that a Disgaea hole can last for, while we have why everything about Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 isn't what you really want in a game. So, for those of you that listen on the site--or for those that just want to inform us more-- I feel like pointing out that we would love you guys commenting on how you think that we are doing with the show now that it is back in full swing. I would also like to point out that you can like us on Facebook and follow us (mainly me being drunk and saying terrible things) on twitter.

    We are late with this newest addition to the ever growing family of dysfunctional pods that keep getting produced. This week Stark has decided that it is entirely his job to inform people that we don't fact check, but in all honesty I was kind of hoping that people already knew that from 30 seconds of us talking. We start off really well this week, and instead of even making an attempt to talk about the game find a way to complain about people getting married or inviting us to parties. We do discuss the topic, Katamari, with a great amount of love--even though we don't give it the time needed-- and find ways to talk about so much else. E3, complaining about Family Guy (again), current games we are playing, and FPS' are just small taste of the devotion that we show for staying on topic.

    There are times that I am sitting here and uploading the podcast to the server and I don't even know what to write here about it. It is clearly the longest one that we have ever done, clocking in around two hours and twenty minutes, it also ends with Stark yelling about Breaking Bad and how he can't enjoy anything that may ever encourage anyone to do Crystal Meth. Glad that we could fit a PSA in at the end, but I thought that this was supposed to be a geek podcast about video games and nerd stuff. Although there is about two hours before that where we talk about the finer things in life, like Shadow Run, Duke Nukem Forever, and complain about Final Fantasies again. A full episode to be sure.
