Norah is visiting Tucson this week, so she has stopped by the studio to procure some Mango affection (via bribery) and make an appearance on the podcast! They were planning on doing a different word initially, but they are keeping it in the same wheelhouse to make a distinction between the two words—often used as synonyms. After a quick introduction where Ben talks about the game review code he received for the recent port of the N64 game Glover, Norah and Ben discuss their thoughts on the differences between retro and vintage, antique and vintage collections or items, and educational techniques that aren't keeping pace with technological advancements. To close out the show, they share their Disneyland and Disney World experiences and critique a blog post about some historical menu items served at the parks. *** 00:00:20 - Hand gestures, cats with false teeth, nephews and book fairs, and Norah on-brand 00:03:15 - A line-segment of proofreaders, balls and gloves, and refurbishing “antique” games 00:07:08 - An unfortunate distinction, ball metamorphosis, a platformer relic, and ideas of fun 00:10:55 - Clash of the Titans, games out of time, Norah's surprise, and everyone's favorite ox 00:13:31 - Rifles in Indiana, items of high quality, wine diagrams, and hipsters or vino snobs 00:16:25 - Sommeliers, roasty coffee, Merriam-Webster chaser, and pondering the differences 00:20:41 - Literal organic word growth, the quality debate, art is neither, and Norah is an astute 00:25:52 - Coffins and ashes, collecting heirlooms, hobbies versus investments, and hipsters 00:29:16 - Antique educational methods, vaccines (NOT leeches), other ideas, and typewriters 00:34:04 - Vintage foods, impossible pies, Disney anecdotes, Ben's favorite ride, and Epcot 00:38:34 - Listing food items, an historic chili cook-off, making Norah sick, and futuristic pies 00:42:53 - Not very pirate-ish, sea chicken sandwiches, an ill-advised pun, and unsurprising 00:45:34 - ACTUAL vintage foods, mincemeat pie, Spam dishes, arcade cabinets, and Pong 00:49:32 - Atari impact, do not eat the aunt, misgendered Mango, and inspired to be difficult *** Follow Andrew / Partly Robot Industries on… His website: https://partlyrobot.com/ On Instagram: https://instagram.com/partlyrobot On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@partlyrobot On Substack: https://partlyrobot.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/partlyrobot.com On Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/partlyrobot On Microcosm Publishing: https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/artist/andrew-coltrin On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/partlyrobot And his TREE o' LINKS: http://linktr.ee/partlyrobot Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://twovaguepodcast.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twovaguepodcast.com For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com For all of your PRI and 2VP merch, check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries Please consider helping Andrew out with a pledge for Nerd Emergencies...

In today's Daily Fix:Activision has revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the latest in the rebooted sub-franchise of Call of Duty. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the series is leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One behind (they are 14-year-old consoles after all), although some elements of online multiplayer will remain playable for previous installments. In other news, the Steam Deck is sold out at Valve's online store, despite an immediate (and significant) price hike for the OLED models. And finally, a classic N64 game is coming Nintendo Switch Online, and its theme song might just get stuck in your head.IGN Live 2026 is happening next weekend in Downtown Los Angeles.

In this episode of Retro Titans, Phil sits down with Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books — the publisher behind some of the most beautifully crafted retro gaming books ever produced. From the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum to the NeoGeo and N64, Bitmap Books has become synonymous with premium retro gaming preservation, celebrating the art, culture and history of the games we grew up with. But Sam's journey started much like many of ours — with a beige computer under the TV and a lifelong fascination with games. Together, Phil and Sam explore how nostalgia, graphic design and a love of gaming history combined to create one of the most respected retro gaming publishers in the world today. In this episode, we explore: 1️⃣ The origins of Bitmap Books How a passion project inspired by the Commodore 64 grew into a globally recognised retro gaming publisher. 2️⃣ Designing books for retro fans Why presentation, print quality and visual storytelling matter just as much as the words on the page. 3️⃣ Preserving gaming history From arcade classics and point-and-click adventures to SNK and Neo Geo, Sam explains why these games deserve to be documented and celebrated. 4️⃣ Nostalgia, community and modern retro culture Why retro gaming continues to resonate with new generations, and how the meaning of "retro" keeps evolving. Sam also shares stories about launching books through Kickstarter, working with legendary developers and publishers, creating collector's editions with built-in sound effects, and why games like Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island and Metal Slug still matter today.
Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! This week we switch things up with a listener Q&A-style episode, tackling a range of topics like the ever-blurring line between PCs and consoles, and debating whether devices like Steam Deck, SteamOS, and Microsoft's rumoured “Project Helix” represent the future of gaming. Along the way, we revisit the biggest console generation leaps of all time — from the jump to 3D on the PS1 and N64, to the HD revolution of the Xbox 360 era — before diving deep into modern graphics tech like DLSS, FSR, and frame generation. In this episode: PC vs console convergence – Why SteamOS has pushed Microsoft and others toward more console-like PC gaming experiences Project Helix speculation – Will Microsoft's future Xbox hardware behave more like a console, a PC, or something in between? The old days of PC gaming – Remembering when installing a PC game could feel like a technical qualification Biggest console generation leap – Why the jump from 16-bit systems to PS1, Saturn, and N64 still feels unmatched Mario 64 & open worlds – How Nintendo's 3D platformer changed the way games were designed forever Metal Gear Solid & cinematic gaming – The moment games started to feel like interactive movies The HD gaming revolution – Why the Xbox 360 and PS3 era transformed online gaming and visual clarity DLSS, FSR & upscaling explained – Breaking down how modern games fake higher resolutions for better performance Frame generation debate – Smooth visuals vs controller responsiveness, and where the tech works best Steam Deck & emulator experiments – Using modern PC features to breathe new life into retro and PS3-era games Check out Trev and Al’s other podcast where they reminisce about different episodes of the Star Trek franchise! : https://longrangesensors.com/episodes Intro/Outro Music – Title Theme – Pinball Dreams (1992) – Commodore Amiga – Composer(s): Olof Gustafsson
Episode 321 - Current Gen PodcastDan, Tim, and Kyle are joined by a late-arriving Jeff to talk about the narrative adventure, Mixtape. The reviews are through the roof, but how is the game? We are enjoying it and talk about that as well as Motorslice, Pragmata, Crimson Desert, and the recently released Mortal Kombat II movie. Also, Switch prices are going up, but Star Fox is getting a remake of the N64 classic, so Nintendo is somehow still winning.

Just roaming the isles and looking at cover art was a joy in and of itself. There was no way to have a bad weekend when you went home with Fievel Goes West, Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle, and a bottle of Yoo-Hoo. If I had to guess I'd say my most rented games were Ducktales and A Link to the Past. I inherited a copy of Back to the Future II & III for the NES from a friend that passed that still has rental sticker on it from the gas station. I'll never get rid of it.

I went back and forth to store throughout the day and when I got it the game was terrible lol SchonerTod [TINK], TINK — 4/19/2026 9:54 AMSunday, April 19, 2026 9:54 AM i didnt get into renting game until the N64. When I was a kid video games were always a side thing we did on the weekends and typically it was a sleep over. so friday evening my buddies and i would ride our bikes down to the local blockbuster and rented a couple games then hit up the local store for sodas and pizza before going back to my place and playing an all nighter. Typically it was stuff like 007, mario kart, perfect dark nfl blitz and such. Xomber — 4/19/2026 10:01 AMSunday, April 19, 2026 10:01 AM My first rentals were N64 games as well. I think they forced me to get better at the games, since I knew I had to give them back or some such. I remember being unable to finish OOT the first time(couldn't get out of the forest) and the second time I made it to the Water Temple. After that, I was good at the game I think. Eric Plunk [nDAD], nDAD — 4/19/2026 11:07 AMSunday, April 19, 2026 11:07 AM I don't have many memories of renting N64 games other than Paper Mario from Blockbuster which I beat in two 5-day rental periods (edited)Sunday, April 19, 2026 11:08 AM @Solo Growing up I would rent from one, not sure if it was across the nation in the 80's, that was called National Home Video. I would rent NES games weekly as games back then were pricey so parents only bought me like 4. Point being here that one time we went out of town for 2 weeks to Myrtle Beach vacation. When we got back my parents laughed as the recording had a message from the store asking if I was ok as they have not heard from me wanting to know what game to reserve for me to make sure it was not rented out before me. Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — 4/19/2026 4:08 PMSunday, April 19, 2026 4:08 PM I never rented. But I did take some games out at the library. The only one I really remember is Super Mario Galaxy. I remember erasing my save file for the next person, because I was under the impression it was stored on the disc... DoubleD — 4/19/2026 5:46 PMSunday, April 19, 2026 5:46 PM Renting movies and games was a regular occurrence in my house growing up, probably every other weekend or so. We rented games mainly from NES, SNES, and N64, but I have the fondest memories of the SNES era. I remember renting Final Fantasy 3 for a couple weeks when it first released, knowing full well that I was about to get it for my birthday a couple months afterwards. Well, I got to a point in the game where it seems like it's the end, but it's really just the mid-point, but I remember being so mad thinking I was about to beat the game right before I get it for my birthday. After opening up the second half of the game, I was so happy that there was more to it, that I stupidly rented the game for another week, but still didn't beat it. I then got it for my birthday and tried to trade my copy for the rental store's, but they wouldn't do it, so I spent the entire Christmas break playing through my new copy and beat it in 2 weeks.

In the summer of 2000 the Nintendo 64 was on it's way out. The PlayStation 2, the sucessor to the N64 rival PlayStation, was coming out later that year and the GameCube was a still over a year away from release. The summer of 2000 was probably the last chance the N64 had of seriously competing in the console market before the next console generation was in full swing and boy howdy did Rare release a game to help usher out the N64 on a high note. Joining me this week is YouTuber Jiggylookback to talk about Rare's "sequel" GoldenEye, Perfect Dark. The game was a technical marvel for the time and really pushed the console to it's limits. Perfect Dark took what Rare learned from GoldenEye and expanded upon it. Not just both in terms of tech but also story and atmosphere. Jiggy and I had a great time chatting about Perfect Dark, why it's still looked on so fondly, where it could improve and also we ask the question... Why the name Elvis?

1998 erscheint ein Spiel, das (gemeinsam mit anderen Titeln) ein neues Genre etabliert, Taktik-Shooter. Das Spiel ist Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, kein einfacher Action-Shooter, sondern ein brutaler, planungsintensiver Einsatzsimulator, in dem ein einziger Schuss tödlich sein kann. Ein neues Genre ist geboren, der Taktik-Shooter. Gunnar und Christian sprechen über das einzigartige, unbarmherzige Gameplay und analysieren, was Rainbow Six so einzigartig macht: die tödliche Spielmechanik, die strategische Planung vor jedem Einsatz und die sperrige, aber faszinierende KI, die selbst einfache Befehle manchmal in Chaos verwandelt. Die Entstehungsgeschichte reicht von Ronald Reagans Einfluss auf Tom Clancys Karriere, über die Gründung von Red Storm Entertainment, die Nutzung einer ungeeigneten Technologie bis zur Parallelentwicklung zum gleichnamigen Roman. Es geht um die Frage, warum das Spiel trotz seiner technischen Mängel und nervigen Eigenheiten bis heute eine treue Fangemeinde hat – und warum moderne Taktik-Shooter wie Rainbow Six Siege zwar den Namen tragen, aber kaum noch etwas mit dem Original gemein haben. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Erscheinungstermin: 21. August 1998 Plattform: Windows (später Portierungen für PlayStation, N64, Mac, Dreamcast) Entwickler: Red Storm Entertainment Publisher: Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Red Storm Entertainment Genre: Taktik-Shooter Designer: Brian Upton, Carl Schnurr Musik: Bill Brown Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott Gast in dieser Folge: Dr. Michael Flintrop Audioproduktion: Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)

This week, we welcome back comic creator Nick Goode, a good friend from the very beginnings of the show! The guys kick things off with a Retro Round Table dedicated to the greatest spies in pop culture history. They discuss everything from the comedy of Spies Like Us and Inspector Gadget to the gritty realism of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Imitation Game. Plus, we debate the future of James Bond and settle the score on which N64 shooter reigns supreme. Then we turn our attention to Nick to discuss his comic Sussex: Chapters Three and Four, currently available on Kickstarter! Nick explains how he blends a World War II espionage thriller with personal themes of mental health, anxiety, and depression. It is a fascinating look at how real history and personal struggles come together in Chapters 3 and 4 of his story. Don't miss your chance to back this project! Click the link below!
