Did y'all know that winter is coming? Its not just the Starks that say it, now the Targaryen's say it too, and in high Valyrian. Anyway, we must now wait another two years for more House of the Dragon, but we are getting more Westeros next year! GameStop announces the end of GameInformer....is nothing sacred anymore? Meanwhile WB Gaming is imploding, Bungie done messed up, and Intel is whoa. Plus More Deadpool & Wolverine news, Inside Out 2 passes another milestone, and John Wick's world is about to expand.

After dealing with an increasingly faulty monitor, I've replaced it! Let's talk about the power of 360hz displays. Also: If the AI bubble pops, what will that mean for graphics cards? In the news: Bungie layoffs, the abrupt Game Informer shutdown, Peter Moore is doin' fine, and another round of Half-Life rumor madness is upon us! Also: Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop for 3DS???

Mike and Tyler talk about now defunct game retailers. They discuss Babbages, Software Etc., FuncoLand, and more! The theme music is by RoccoW. The logo was created by Dani Dodge.

If you listen to our show, odds are you're over 30, which means you can go into any restaurant you want. It also means you probably remember when GameStop was a place people actually used to buy games from, rather than a means of manipulating the stock market. If you really paid attention, you might even remember when it was still Babbage's and FuncoLand. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're finally back together again. Bobby, Richie, and Tom dig into and take digs at Nintendo's online offerings, then get into a deeper discussion on handheld gaming.

For this episode of Beat of the Month we have guest SeannyFunco back on to talk in-depth about his time working at everyone's favorite video game store - FuncoLand! SeannyFunco was there back in the late 90s to early 2000s and has quite a number of stories to tell. Subjects range from FuncoLand staples such as the game demo stations, the sales flyers, and more! He also shared some background on his specific store's PS2 launch scandal, attacks involving a hammer, the State of Emergency preorder debacle, and a variety of other fascinating tales. If you wanted to know what it was like working at a FuncoLand or have a trip down memory lane from when you used to shop there, please give it a listen! If you'd like to read other stories that SeannyFunco has about his time working at FuncoLand, be sure to check out his website at https://seanpiotrowski.net 

On this special episode of Beat of the Month we take a look at one of the most beloved consoles to ever be released: Dreamcast. Sega's final entry into the console market had an excellent game library, offered features and graphics which had never been seen before, continues to have a loyal fanbase over 20 years later, and was unfortunately very shortly lived. We interviewed a variety of people that each had a unique experience with the Dreamcast and covered topics from their launch experience, games they loved (and still love!), how they felt when Dreamcast was discontinued, and more. Our interviewees include: SeannyFunco - FuncoLand employee during the launch of the Dreamcast. More stories from his time at FuncoLand can be found at https://seanpiotrowski.net/. We'll be looking to do an episode in the future focused on his time at FuncoLand! Gavin - EB Games employee during the launch of the Dreamcast. Gavin has a podcast called Geeking off the Page which can be found on Spotify and other podcasting platforms. You can reach him at planetgeekpod@gmail.com. Seppo Helava - Script Programmer for Seaman. In addition to working on a number of different games he also worked on VR programs for stroke rehab and offers mentoring for people looking to enter the game industry. He's easy enough to find online since he's the only Seppo Helava in the world. Derek Pascarella - He continues to bring unreleased games to the West with complete translations. All of his projects covered during this episode can be found at https://dreamcastforever.com Chuck - He has amassed a complete collection of Dreamcast games. He can be found on gamefaqs as well as on ebay selling a variety of games under the name amcdc79. If you enjoyed this episode, please check out our previous shows as well as drop us a note at beatofthemonth@gmail.com - we'd love to hear from you!

If you end up in a FuncoLand looking for the next great 3D platforming adventure, make sure you do everything you can to avoid saying "Chameleon Twist" enough times to be legally bound to buy it. The dude at FuncoLand doesn't care what your older brother sent you to get: You have to take responsibility for what you said. Discussed: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, MultiVersus, Mario Strikers: Battle League, Inazuma Eleven---Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Discord: https://theworstgarbage.onlineFollow Stephen Hilger: https://twitter.com/StephenHilgerFollow Brendon Bigley: https://twitter.com/brendonbigley---Produced by AJ Fillari: https://twitter.com/ajfillariSeason 4 Cover Art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/---Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecastThanks to all of our amazing patrons! | Callum S | fullmetalsteve | Cage M | Michael D | Matthew H | Austin B | Joshua R | Jason W | Joe R | Alexander | Cailen P | Sammya | Nicholas | Breana P | MaxTheHack | Steve M | Warren S | Phil B | Hudson S | David H | Complete Over Analysis | Jarle S | Nicholas C | Dustine | Julian M | Tony B | Ben J | Dylan E | Chandler H | Greed | Andrew N | Michal R | Bill R | Will A | Shy R | Ryan | Abe P | Beersmoke | Elizabeth A | Colin E | Rachael L | Alex C | Jason T | Adalya H | Joe G | Christopher W | Emily A | Bradlee | Casey | Corey T | Loofie | Minnow Eats Whale | Jenna R | George M | Scott W | Sagar | Mark H | PanaMuse | Franky | Jon M | Alex M | Feld | bunni | J.

The conversation surrounding video games and violence has continued to be a polarizing topic, which makes Dr. Christopher Bartel's book a perfect addition to The Neutral Ground family. Bartel's book (Video Games, Violence, and the Ethics of Fantasy) takes a much-needed nuanced approach to the discussion. Instead of looking at the games, Bartel asks us to look at the players. Rather than saying this game promotes violence, Bartel asks the players to assert more agency in their gaming experiences--to be more aware of what the game potentially does to you and you alone. In this episode, we talk about how games test our ethics, how they blur the lines of social etiquette, and what parents can do to help make sure their children's gaming experiences are as healthy as possible. I also tell a rather personal story of my father taking me to Funcoland (remember those?) on September 13, 1993--also known as Mortal Monday--to purchase Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis. This was significant because it was one of the first games to receive a "mature" rating. I had worked all year cleaning up for a mechanic's shop to save up my money. Did my father let me buy it?

So come walk with us as we search far and wide for this sled on a very unexpected journey.Available on Amazon Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcasts, Spreaker, Castbox, Deezer, Podcast Addict, and Podchaser.Nick and his wares nick@rexco-comics.comSpicy Beets: https://soundcloud.com/jesse-senpaiPaper Lab Studios: www.paperlabstudios.comFollow us on Instagram: @rexcocomics @zippertan @paperlabstudiosFollow us on Twitter: @zippertan @paperlabSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paperlabstudios

Welcome to Episode 025 of the Grey Muzzle Geekery podcast for the week of July 29th, 2019! This week Dusty Red and Dustie White start with this week's news, and then dive into a topic previously mentioned but never approached: Working Bad Jobs in the past! From Bill Collection to FuncoLand, to Slinging Pizzas to Hot Dog Stands, join our hosts as they relive a bit of their past and the jobs they once held! From there they then touch lightly on a topic of 'aging out' of hobbies, if such a thing exists, and what might not have been done to help promote geekery, and let it fade as the people who used to be involved get older and 'too busy' to participate.Support us on Patreon!Watch us on Twitch!Subscribe to us on YouTube!

John and Craig reminisce about their days working at the FuncoLand Corporate Headquarters.

With the dog days of summer winding down, the guys take a break from the usual business and bring on friend of the show John Werner to talk sports video games. Enjoy a trip down memory lane with Madden, NHL 94, Golden Tee, NBA Jam, the 2K titles, the glory days of wrestling games and even a few obscure gems (hey there, Super Baseball 2020). … PLUS: "Working" at FuncoLand, the story of a six-year dynasty on NCAA Football 2002 at OU, the NFL Blitz championship belt (and the property damage it led to), and a couple of million dollar ideas for game companies. It's one of our longest episodes ever, but it's one of the most fun, too.

Level 857 - Video Game Podcast: Level 25 - Digital vs. Physical Media. In this podcast, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of owning digital and physical video games! We also share some personal preferences as well.

Once, twice, three times a... ghost?! That's right, this week Jack & Nick are contending with three ghosts at once! And these aren't just any ghosts, they're ghostly best friends/lovers Brendon, Brendan, and Brayden.They're nineties though and through, and have much to teach our heroes about skateboarding, Kid Rock, sex, Funcoland, and more! But these ghosts are so hip and cool that our legendary losers can't quite keep up. Will peer pressure cause Jack & Nick to throw away their ghost-hunting duties to become chill sk8r bois? Will they be turned into ghosts by this terrifying trio? And will they ever find out who Joe C is? There's only one way to find out: tune in and come along on a nostalgia trip back to a time that We Love: The 90s! FEATURING Glenn Marshall (@DoubleSleepover) as Brendon, Justin Hancock (@Justin_Hancock) as Brendan, and Pete Mutino (@PrisonPete) as Brayden.

Meet hosts Brian and Ike as they introduce themselves, the Game Design Dojo, and dive right into whether or not to self publish a mobile title. The Game Design Dojo In game design one never truly masters, but is constantly practicing. Much like in martial arts where one never really achieves full mastery. One can appear as a master, but in reality they are just further down the path that you. Thus the name Dojo. Topics The Game Design Dojo will discuss: Studio issues - starting a company Platforms and adapting to changes Video game design and development Story development Reward systems in game play All different video game genres - adventure, role-play, first person shooter, puzzle, match 3, etc. Any questions or topics from the fans Any current challenges that come up during our own video game development The History of Ike and Brian Ike started in the industry in the year 2000 with a Computer Engineering Degree and primarily had computer programmer jobs with a few different companies. In 2005 he started to work at FlashMan Studios a video game consulting firm that helped find projects by helping companies navigate the waters of the gaming industry. Ike recently founded own Indie Game Studio - One Room School House with a focus to kids education software. Brian stared with his first memories of playing Atari as a kid that really made an impact. He worked at a  retail store called Funcoland - similar to Gamestop until graduating college with a BS in Art and a Minor in Programming. Worked for High Voltage and Midway then moved from Chicago to California and worked for Blizzard. In 2011 founded Indie Game Studio with wife - Fenix Fire Entertainment. Launched first game - Roboto - in the same year and have gotten lots of 'work for hire' projects. Now, looking forward to focusing on own video games. We're excited to make this podcast and feel it's important to give support to the Indie Game Development community. We can talk for hours about video game development and design plus we genuinely enjoy helping people. So, we hope you enjoy!  Self Publishing vs. Mobile Publisher Part 1 The debate is there is a new style of publishing for mobile that provides services you can potentially do yourself. Publishers offer the benefit of offering to publish under their name and their recognition. Types of Publishers Big power houses vs. young up starts Experience with console and PC games Experience with casual WEB games - understands simple games Publishers typically are not offering money so their power has essentially been taken away and have had to change with the times. Can offer to publish yourself but with publisher's name. (EA example, Monopoly example)  Cherry Pickers Publishers create relationships with Indie Developer and want to see what game you're working on before you make any announcement or awareness and look to see if it has ant mass market appeal. Basically Cherry Pick. The publisher will tell the developer, "We'll publish game for you and make it a great hit!" The developer will think, "Great! I have a fan." This is very tempting so make sure you sort thru what the publisher can really do for you. Benefits of having a publisher: Can give developer feedback about game Provide professional opinion, not just advice because invested in it Knows and understands the A-Z process Might need in today's market for User Acquisition The debate continues as we take a look and discuss the self publishing argument.
