Temba, his arms wide!We have a new episode of Casual Trek for you and it's about language, no, not naughty language, although we're both British so we're VERY good at that. We're talking about times where language and communication have been important Trekian themes! First, everyone on Deep Space Nine is talking gibberish instead of Technobabble in ‘Babel' while in Strange New Worlds, Uhura's first away mission goes horribly awry when she has to communicate with the ‘Children of the Comet' and finally, we deal with one of The Next Generation's best episodes as we try and find out just who is Darmok and why was he at Tanagra in ‘Darmok.' Temba, at rest! Episodes Discussed: Babel (09:42), Children of the Comet (31:17) and Darmok (52:57)Talking Points Include: Catch-22, Sakamoto Days and the slow weebification of Charlie, Love Hurts, Sean Austin, is this Chief O'Brien's first worst day, Babel originally being a TNG script and how it would not have been as fun, the Odo/Quark dynamic, Kira having no time for BS, how irritating it must be to play a Vulcan sometimes, Sam Kirk is not this show's Kenny, does Strange New Worlds disregard Roddenberry's attitude to God? Uhura and Spock being friends, Miles misses Hemmer, when Spock thinks you ****ed up… you ****ed up! Troi's rather slim resume, Miles suffers the Darmok problem with UK-Specific references in the US, ‘Darmok' might be Star Trek's clearest descent into allegory, How ‘Darmok' inspired the scariest episode of Doctor Who, Picard's new jacket, Pedant's Corner: The Chuckle Brothers were a slapstick comedy duo popular on British children's telly. To me. To you. Rolf Harris was also a popular children's entertainer on British TV… until he was convicted on many charges of SA towards minors.Miles guesting on Famicom Dojo as Sean plays ‘Out of This World.' https://www.youtube.com/live/Ucv-hoyVmPU?si=hx_tb9k9qVCqZBMr

Games designed for kids can be enjoyable even for adults, though they often require looking at them with a different mindset than traditional games. In this episode, I talk to Vinnk of the Famicom Dojo podcast about his enjoyment of games for kids, how his kids grew up with games, and the impact they've had on his family life.

Originally Broadcast 2022/11/04: Originally released 2022/11/04 on the Famicom Dojo Video Game Podcast feed! Since it's (mostly) about TV shows, and a game that's really an interactive movie, we thought the episode would do just as well on this podcast. We've talked before about movies based on video games, and video games based on movies (sometimes themselves based on video games; looking at you, Street Fighter: The Movie The Game!), but have we talked about TV shows inspired by video games? Vinnk and Sean react to the Mario movie trailer, talk about the video game cartoons of their childhood, and how the genre has grown to include more mature and live action fare in the modern era -- including shows that have been announced but haven't even been released yet! But also certainly shows that have, and what is lost (or potentially gained) in translation. In Pile of Shame, Vinnk figures he should finally get in on this Minecraft thing all the kids are playing, and Sean describes his experience with the interactive movie game "I Saw Black Clouds" in Future Retro.

Originally Broadcast 2022/03/30: Vinnk had a great time interviewing with Louis Zezeran! I ask Vinnk about the origins of Famicom Dojo, what his experiences have been running Japan Retro Direct and whats his take on the state of second hand retro gaming products on the ground in Japan right now. Oh and we also talk about how Japanese retro gamers see CRTs as well.

The Zezcast is my solo podcast where I interview creators and individuals in the retro gaming community who I think are interesting. In this episode I talk to Vinnk from Famicom Dojo, who for me is one of the OG retro video creators. Famicom Dojo is a series which has been around longer than YouTube (!) and started with Vinnk living in Japan and wanting to make the first documentation of the cool stuff he saw back in the day (some before it was retro). He continues to make videos and streams with his partner Sean Orange to this day. In the last few years he has also opened up a new avenue for his retro games collecting: opening his own Japanese import games online store Japan Retro Direct https://japanretrodirect.ocnk.com I ask Vinnk about the origins of Famicom Dojo, what his experiences have been running Japan Retro Direct and whats his take on the state of second hand retro gaming products on the ground in Japan right now. Oh and we also talk about how Japanese retro gamers see CRTs as well.

Originally Broadcast 2020/07/28: Vinnk and Sean lead off this compilation with a visit Vinnk made back to the states with his family in 2017, making it a real-live Vinnk-Con 2017! On this episode of the Nerd & Tie podcast we dig out our biggest secrets. Those would, of course, be The Secret Podcasts. For those unaware, we often record secret ten minute shows while at cons which get posted to a hidden part of the site. Rather than make you hunt for them though, we've created this special of some of our favorites (including a never released episode which features Sean and Vinnk of Famicom Dojo). We've previously released some compilation episodes which were available temporarily, but this one's sticking around.

We're still stuck at home (well, some of us are), wondering how the closure of non-essential businesses is will affect not just giant video game retailers, but our home-grown favorite resellers, such as the eponymous Famicom Dojo. Sean and Vinnk recover from a failed live stream to ponder anew the physical vs digital question. In Future Retro we take a Journey, and Sean learns from Vinnk what Ron Gilbert was up to after his LucasArts days.

Originally Broadcast 2020/04/21: Sean paid a visit to Nerd & Tie with the hosts of (nearly) all the other podcast network shows to talk about being shut in for the last six weeks! On this episode of Nerd & Tie we decided to check in around the network to see how everyone is. Joining Nick, Gen and Trae for this episode are folks from Stormwood & Associates (Kyle Johnson), Let’s Be Legendary (Megzie Sass-Council, Cris Sass-Council, Molly Hexcroft), and Famicom Dojo (Sean Corse). We talk about what we’re doing, what we’re playing, and how we’re coping. Before that though, we do our job and hit the headlines. San Diego Comic Con and Anime Expo have both been cancelled for obvious reasons, and ACE Comic Con is suing GrowTix. It’s an adventure to say the least. Oh, and Trae loses power near the end of the episode, and stuff gets super weird.

Originally Broadcast 2018/03/09: Now that the Nintendo Switch is in middle age (for a console), let's take a look back to when it was a bouncing, bright-eyed one year old system! It's been a whirlwind year for the Switch as Nintendo struggles to keep up with higher-than-expected demand, and publishers scramble to find titles to release. Meanwhile, indie developers are enjoying the power vacuum left by the AAA players, and really getting a chance to shine on this funny little charcoal gray box. Vinnk and Sean look back at how the Nintendo Switch has changed their gaming habits over the past year, which games and consoles they DIDN'T play because the Switch existed, and recap how launch day didn't go at all like anyone expected it would. In Future Retro, we discuss the limited edition of Bayonetta 2, and the slow demise of the Nintendo 3DS with what is likely its swan song: Metroid: Samus Returns.

Nintendo buried the lede in its latest Nintendo Direct with the announcement of its 16-bit offerings on the anniversary of its Nintendo Switch Online service. North America got Super NES, and the Japan eShop got Super Famicom. Vinnk and Sean discuss how to download Famicom and Super Famicom Online (even if you don't have a Japanese Switch!), review Night Trap and Fire Emblem: The Three Houses in Future Retro, and share an announcement on future Famicom Dojo videos.

Originally Broadcast 2014/08/15: We recently reached another milestone with episode 150, but it kind of snuck up on us, and we didn't do our usual fan appreciation episode. However, this episode and every new one or rerun afterward will also go up on the Famicom Dojo YouTube channel for a new lease on digital life! When we were kids, someone introduced each of us to the world of video games. Maybe it was a parent, or a friend who had the latest and greatest. Or maybe that love developed in arcades and translated into the home. This week, we revisit the formative years that made us gamers. And we have other stories that listeners like you sent in to celebrate our 100th episode. Sean and Vinnk interview their families, play user submissions, and give their own individual stories about what it meant Growing Up Gamer.

Originally Broadcast 2011/12/23: Sean watched Home Alone for the first time in over a decade, so this episode immediately sprang to mind. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Rerun 2014/12/26: Three years, and nothing has changed. Although a first person Die Hard game might be amazing. Merry Christmas, kids. The Christmas season, in the video game industry, is more about big sales of blockbuster titles, console launches, and a bit of rubbing-it-in-the-face for people who perennially spell Nintendo's doom.

Originally Broadcast 2011/07/01: You heard about the Tetris movie, right? The Tetris... TRILOGY? So many basic arcade games with no stories turned into three hour summer tentpoles. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING? Rerun 2014/10/24: In the wake of our 10 Minutes About Your Favorite Video Game podcast, and the release of the Super Mario Bros. movie on Blu-ray, we still wonder... Can a movie based on a video game ever be any good? If their Rotten Tomatoes scores are to be believed, these films are never critical darlings. Some find fans in niche places, but many are just... you know... BAD. Vinnk and SeanOrange plumb their memories of video game movies to find out if either of them belong to the "so-SO-bad-but-I-still-love-it-even-though-geez-it-sucks" club!

Originally Broadcast 2014/01/24: Broken Age Act 2 came out this week, and it's amazing. Enjoy out review of Act 1, and the amazing journey Double Fine took to create it. Spearheading the revival of adventure games, Broken Age Act 1 was released last week on Steam for the Kickstarter backers (and press reviewers). A decision to black out reviews until later in January was reversed only a couple of days after the game came out. Broken Age is just that good. Even though we haven't finished it (as of recording this episode), we wholeheartedly agree that it will become an instant classic. Sean and Vinnk talk about what killed the adventure game for our generation, revel in its revival thanks to companies like TellTale and Doublefine, and crowdsourcing for an explosion of indie games on websites like Kickstarter. We can't agree on just what an adventure game is, exactly, but that's part of the fun, right?

Originally Broadcast 2011/12/16: Between Microsoft's recent attempts to make used games impossible with the Xbox One, and our even more recent discovery that Famicom Dojo Season 1 DVDs are being sold used on Amazon, we though it was time to trot out this little gem again. With a slow shift to digital-only content, and the inability to share such content like you would lend a book or a disc, and publishers deliberately devaluing their game content through the use of activation codes and central server authenticaion, will there ever come a time when used games become a thing of the past? Sean and Vinnk explore why console games cost so much, why iOS games cost so little, and the ruin that would be visited upon the gaming industry if no one could lend out their games or buy used ones ever again.

They might claim they don't know you, and then keep your beer! Sean tells Vinnk about his time at MAGFest, the fun panels he attended, the cool people he met (and re-met), the awesome videos he watched -- like JewWario's trailer for his new FamiKamen Rider series, and how Sean would go to a Destructoid room party again (even if he has to bring more beer to get in). Discussion about the MSX also re-ignites the debate of what can or can't be considered a game console.

Originally Broadcast 2012/02/24: Nothing special, just looking forward to a weekend with the kids. Kids get a bad rap in video games. Sometimes they're beat up to pull emotional heartstrings, but mostly they're just annoying. Is there a way for kids to be used or portrayed in games that isn't exploitative or make you want to cause yourself bodily harm? Vinnk and Sean run down the appearances of children in games, from the NES all the way to the upcoming Mass Effect 3, across consoles and the PC. We also run down the history of unlicensed NES publisher Color Dreams, and what their originally shocking games turned into.

Originally Broadcast 2013/07/13: 2015 is going to be a big year for Famicom Dojo, so we're feeling all nostalgic. Did you know that there was an episode of Famicom Dojo before there was a Famicom Dojo? Not just the one released on Zac Shipley's channel, but one we never released for public consumption? Sure you didn't! We know lots of stuff from back in 2006. Learn more from Vinnk and Sean as they talk about their memories of Famicom Dojo before there was a Famicom Dojo, how the name was chosen, and the relevation that even the first episodes took a super-long time to create!

Originally Broadcast 2011/09/02: This week would have been Mega Man's 27th Birthday. RIP, Mega Man. Retro games may be beloved (if not exceedingly difficult), but do their descendants still have a place in the modern gaming world? When the original creator of a franchise moves on, is it time for the publisher to move on to something else? What about the fans?

Originally Broadcast 2013/02/08: Region locking continues to be a thing, even though the new PS4 and Xbox One will accounce ending the practice later in the year, leaving Wii U the only console left standing. There's a White House petition going around to make region locking a thing of the past -- at least in the United States of America. Does such a law have any chance of passing, and can it even be effective if it did? And what would the side-effects be? Vinnk and Sean discuss the perils and pitfalls of region locking, if it even makes sense any more in an increasingly digital-only medium, and the kinds of odd behaviors it causes in those who actually want to buy games or consoles across regions. We also discuss the (successful) GCW-Zero Kickstarter, and its inevitable ROM piracy implications.

Originally Broadcast 2011/07/15: Since we can't get our hands on a New 3DS because of Region Locking, we thought we'd once again take a look at how it came to be, and how Nintendo is the only company left still doing it. Region locking is nothing new. Though it hasn taken many different forms, it wasn't always deliberate. Many handhelds were exempt from this scheme (including the Game Boy and DS series), but with time all things change. SeanOrange and Vinnk discuss the very state of affairs that necessitates the existence of organizations like Operation Rainfall, how they came to be, and where they might go from here. Also, another Rebel in Japan! "An Open Letter to Nintendo" is only available at FamicomDojo.TV: https://famicomdojo.tv/podcast/9. Why not head over there now and take a listen?

There are problems with announcing new hardware that's not available everywhere, such as the New 3DS coming out in Japan but not the US, including features that the regular 3DS does not have, yet Nintendo claims that because the North American market hasn't peaked yet with the old hardware that it will hold off releasing it. Instead, we're getting a line of special 3DS designs (never minding that a feature of the New 3DS is removable faceplates). Vinnk and Sean (well, mostly just Sean) head off to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells for this first-ever live recording of the Famicom Dojo podcast, wondering why anyone would even get a 3DS for the holidays when a new one will probably be out in 2015. This is only the sort of thing you can get away with because of region locking. Vinnk explains his person Osborne Effect with Smash Bros. for 3DS, and Sean gushes about P.T., which he played on his new PS4. Plus, questions from our live audience!

Vinnk's very first podcast segment for 4cr fits in nicely with the theme of our 100th episode "Growing Up Gamer", and with one of the stories very specificallly. We only included all-new material in that episode, but we thought that we'd add this one as an audio bonus because of how well it rounds out our stories.

The thing about being a gainfully-employed adult and parent is that time becomes your most precious commodity. So any time you use for games can only be used on the good ones -- if you can figure out which ones those are.

Nintendo appeases the hardcore Super Smash Bros. tournament crowd with a wired adapter for GameCube controls, playable at the Smash Bros Invitational. The newest Mario Kart was released last week, selling out Pro Controllers everywhere, crashing the Club Nintendo website, and increasing sales of the Wii U in the UK alone by 666%. In less than a week, Mario Kart 8 has sold 1.2 million copies worldwide. YouTube announced a monetization scheme for users uploading Nintendo videos. Is Nintendo finally listening to its fans, or did it just take this long to unlock the Wii U's potential? Vinnk and Sean put down Mario Kart 8 long enough to discuss what Nintendo is doing right, and if there are bigger things on the horizon. The Wii U is having a renaissance, and it's not even E3 ye.
