Ep 136: Final Fantasy 9 (Part 1) - Nostalgia Bait or Love Letter to the Past22 Dec 202501:41:34

All aboard the Final Fantasy 9 train! After the cyberpunk leanings of FF7 and the emotional love story of FF8, Square again pivoted to the past for their game of the future. The result is a glorious blend of high fantasy, in depth character building, and an emotional connection that's among the best in the entire franchise. On this episode, we talk precious first impressions and the incredible cast.

Ep 55 - The Top of the Triforce (Part 1): The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past07 Nov 202201:09:59

What can you say about one of the greatest games ever made? How do you cover a game that's been the topic of hundreds, maybe thousands, of articles, review shows, and Twitter arguments? The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past falls into this rarified category. Universally beloved and investigated to death.

The answer is surprisingly easy: tell people stories and personal recollections. On this episode of A Gamer Looks at 40, a  cast of Zelda fans and I share stories of our first impressions and favorite moments of this landmark title.

Ep 54 - Halloween 2022: A Brotherly Retrospective31 Oct 202200:54:38

In my family growing up, Halloween was a lesser holiday. We did the standard trick-or-treating, costumes, and careful inspection of candy looking for sharp objects everyone did. But as we grew older, our appreciation for both the holiday and the scary media that comes from it grew and grew. On this loose and easy episode of A Gamer Looks at 40, my brother and I share stories of childhood Halloweens, scary games that made an impression and don our film nerd hats to chat about our favorite horror directors. Happy Halloween!

Ep 53 - The Game That Everyone Loves to Hate (Zelda 2:The Adventure of Link)24 Oct 202201:13:57

Growing up, Zelda 2 was known as the "bad Zelda game". As the sentiment evolved from friends on the playground to angry gamer dude YouTubers, my thoughts were in line with the crowd, even though I had never played the game. And why would I? Loud voices online all agree, the thing stinks. Why waste time on a terrible experience?

On this episode, I shed my preconceived notions and backed by a panel of Zelda fans, all with their own takes and memories, dive in and form my own opinions. The end result may surprise you.

Ep 50 - It's Dangerous to Go Alone (Part 1): A Survey Course on the Legend of Zelda Franchise03 Oct 202201:20:42

One day in the early 80's, Shigeru Miyamoto looked back and thought about his days roaming the Kyoto countryside as a youth. The result of his daydream was The Legend of Zelda, a landmark franchise full of action, adventure, and exploration. To kick off a multi-month exploration of this world class series, we take a look at Zelda as a comprehensive work before diving into the individual eras. Why its endured, what the games do well (and not so well) and the personal stories that define our fandom.

Tales From the Bargain Bin #12 - Maniac Mansion (NES)19 Sep 202200:27:13

It's ooky. It's kooky. It's one of the best point and click adventures ever made. And yes, it still holds up today. Featuring unique humor, sensational music, and the occasional scary nurse, this Luscasarts classic is a personal favorite. Join Blair Farrell and I as we revisit this one of a kind game and discuss why it's a modern classic.

Tales From the Bargain Bin #11 - Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero12 Sep 202200:29:18

Endlessly mocked and memed by the internet, Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero marks the beginning and end of what might have been a cool bit of lore expanding games. But shoddy controls, poorly acted cut scenes, and an overall lack of polish rightfully placed this title into bargain bin territory. On this episode of Tales From the Bargain Bin, Blair Farrell shares his history with this bizarre but well intentioned game and takes on the toughest Mortal Kombat quiz 10 minutes of research could yield.

BTS Bonus - Bill's Bioshock Infinite Dissertation on Games My Mom Found #16505 Sep 202203:06:24

NOTE: This episode as some cussing in it. If you're in your car with kids, save this for when you have some alone time.

As many of you know, Bioshock is one of my favorite series. Each entry presents a fantastic immersive sim experience rich with exciting gameplay, fascinating lore, and rich story. And theme upon themes upon themes. 

Except Bioshock Infinite. I've spent many a Twitter thread lamenting the utter disappointment of this now divisive game to the point of becoming a self-parody. Luckily, Mike Albertin of Games My Mom Found gave me and one other guest three hours to vent our collective spleens on this topic. The result, if you know me, won't surprise you. Consider this my definitive doctoral dissertation on the vat of wasted potential that is Bioshock infinite. 

Many thanks to Mike for letting me steal his content. Please check out his show anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts.

The Walk Never Ends #2: Abzu w/The Well Red Mage29 Aug 202201:20:42

These days, I need to chill. Relax. Contemplate. What I didn't think I needed was a swim in a virtual fish tank with all manner of manta rays, swordfish, and sharks. But that's exactly what Abu offers. A wonderful, frictionless aquatic experience that hides a rich lore and story beneath it's seemingly simple waves.

But I didn't get any of that. I had fun playing with the fishies. Originally aired on Episode 75 of Mage Cast, this episode features The Well Red Mage and I as we discuss this title and diverge into our usual conversations about games, art, critique, and stabbing fish with plastic spears purchased at Walmart.

Our first BTS Bonus episode is a replay of one of my favorite conversations on the show - a talk with Paul Tesi, also known as MegaRetroMan online. In 2019, Paul entered the Classic Tetris World Championship as a relative newbie and took down the greatest Tetris player who ever lived. A story of triumph that's tempered by the harsh realities of winning big in a niche competition, this episode does what I think this podcast was designed to do.

Ep 49 - The Search for a Nintendo Power Grand Prize Winner15 Aug 202200:38:06

Remember the Nintendo Power contests? I sure do. Feverishly filling out the punch out entry card, begging my mom to mail it and hoping for the best was a bi-monthly tradition. The contests ranged from the mundane to insane, but it was always fun to check out the prizes and dream. 

But who won these things? Who actually took home the grand prizes? A couple of the famous ones are well documented, but for the most part, these winners are lost to time and old back issues. Until I went on a journey to find one.

Tales From the Bargain Bin #10 - Crash Bandicoot Warped01 Aug 202200:37:20

What's a bandicoot? In the days before the internets, this question rattled around my brain along with the names of my favorite hockey players, random facts about Garbage Pail kids, and the shocking complexity of physics force diagrams. And there it stayed unanswered until the smashing and debonair Mike Albertin of Games My Mom Found suggested a game for this edition of Tales from the Bargain Bin. What begins as a cautious exploration of Crash Bandicoot Warped quickly devolves into a bash campaign, dunking on The Last of Us and a mascot naming contest so average, it may not have existed at all.

When you've been married to somebody for seven years and known them for double that time, it's easy to think you know everything. Luckily for everyone involved, that's never the case. On this special anniversary edition of A Gamer Looks at 40, I chat with my wife, Jamie, about all things gaming. The wrinkle? Jamie isn't a gamer. What starts as a fun conversation about the medium morphs into topics of childhood trauma, gaming while horribly hungover, and thoughts on the level of fandom required to call oneself a "gamer".

Last week, Barry Carenza shared some impassioned takes on Final Fantasy 7 as a mini franchise in the larger Final Fantasy universe. This week, we have a one on one conversation with Justin Hamm as a counter point. Ranking as his favorite game of all time, FF7 not only marked the beginning of a love for RPG's, it became the catalyst of a lifelong love of the medium in general.

Ep 46 - An EGM Retrospective w/ Greg Sewart, Chris Johnston (CJ), and Dan Hsu 27 Jun 202201:07:29

In the days before websites, social media, and the hellish world of click-bait, we had videogame magazines. They weren't just an information source. They were a window into another world. When you have the funds for give games a year, videogame magazines allowed us to play the titles without owning them. There are few things more nostalgic than flicking through an old Nintendo Power or GamePro.

And of all the magazines available on convenience store shelves, one reigned supreme: Electronic Gaming Monthly. This week, I chat with three former editors of EGM about life at the magazine, tight deadlines, amazing moments and April Fools jokes.

Ep 45 - The Three Questions: Part 320 Jun 202201:34:47

Before nearly every interview, I assault - I mean - kindly ask my guests three silly questions with the hope of getting equally silly answers. What often occurs is a find side conversation, neat anecdote or touching tale. On this week's three questions episode, we discuss national monuments, game shows, and corporate shakeups. 12 guests, three questions, 90 minutes worth of fun.

Ep 44 - Formed by Final Fantasy 613 Jun 202201:01:16

Part of the joy of doing this podcast is hearing how games shaped people's lives. If music and movies can do so, why can't videogames? On this week's episode, I chat with professor of game design and studio founder Daniel Greenberg. Where most people can cite moments and memories of Final Fantasy 6, Daniel professes the game as a formative title in his life. 

From personal connections, to professional opportunities to academic pursuits, this 1994 Square classic touched nearly every milestone in Daniel's life.  Join us as we dive into the memories and have a fascinating conversation about this timeless classic.

Ep 43 - Diamonds and Disappointments: Uncovering the Truth of the N64 Library30 May 202201:39:58

When people discuss the Nintendo 64, they talk about the hits. Mario 64, Goldeneye, etc. And that's where we've been living for the last few episodes. But this week, we dive deeper into the console's library and mine memories of the lesser known titles. Sure, we hit on the bangers and commonly discussed games. Can't get through a survey course on N64 games without talking about Mario Kart 64.

But we also attempt to find those precious jewels long forgotten by time and communal taste. And in that journey, try to unearth the raw truth about the Nintendo 64: is it as bad as some say it is or is it simply misunderstood?

Tales From the Bargain Bin #7 - Barbie (NES)23 May 202200:34:20

Back in the late 80's / early 90's, developers didn't factor girl gamers into their production plans. Videogame marketing was (and still is) heavily male skewed and the result was titles like 1991's Barbie for the NES. An ill conceived cash grab for parents who didn't know better, Barbie barely functions as a game and is a prime example of what happens when you don't respect your audience.

And the worst part was, my sister had a copy. And we played it. Alot. Join us as we go on a journey from the female focused gameplay, all the way to the steps of the House of Representatives.

Ep 42 - The Game With the Golden Gun: Goldeneye 00716 May 202200:51:13

The name's 40. A Gamer Looks at 40.

When Goldeneye 007 shadow dropped into the hands of N64 players in the winter of 1997, few thought it would be more than a movie tie-in title. Thanks to revolutionary physics, a tight relationship to the source material and a multiplayer mode the likes of which console players had never seen, it became the 3rd best selling game on the console. 

But ask anyone who's played it today, and they'll usually say the same thing - Goldeneye 007 kinda stinks. The visuals are ugly, single stick shooters are a relic of the past for a reason, and playing 4 player on a tiny quarter of the screen isn't terribly fun. 

So the question becomes - which is it? Is Goldeneye 007 an outdated artifact or a misunderstood gem? Can we stay nostalgic for a game with glaring flaws or is the title fine as is. No emotional ret-con necessary. Join myself and a gaggle of awesome people as we dive into the memories, the stories and the realities of Goldeneye 007.

NOTE: Due to the massive 2.5 hour length, I decided to break the AMA into two episodes. If you submitted a question and didn't get an answer, it should been addressed in Part 2. Thanks!

Taking up the position of someone less than enthusiastic about the game is co-founder of Premium Edition Games and co-host of the Nintendo Fuse podcast, Barry Carenza. On this episode, we talk about sky high expectations, FF7 as a franchise and the never ending, always chugging hype train. Join us, won't you?

Ep 39 - Soaring Through the Skies of Super Mario 6418 Apr 202200:57:46

From spinning in circles to soaring through the sky, Mario 64 offered gamers untold control and freedom. It's endured through the years, enjoyed new life in remasters and still considered by many to be a Top 5 N64 game ever made.

But who did the game impact, and more importantly, what are the stories behind the accolades. Beyond the graphics, the sound, and the unprecedented control, we explore the tales of the people who played it as kids and still love it as adults.

Tales From the Bargain Bin #5 - South Park (PS1)11 Apr 202200:32:33

Come on down to South Park, and meet a crappy game.

In the late 90's, South Park was a cultural phenomenon. Annoying kids like me lived off Cartman impersonations, "You Killed Kenny" t-shirts were everywhere, and parents were horrified by this crew of foul mouthed children. And like anything good and awesome, we needed a videogame. 

Enter South Park: The Game. A port of the 1998 N64 game of the same name and design, the 1999 PS1 version took a barely average 1st person "shooter" and thrust into the hands of unsuspecting hands of early South Park fans. The result is a nearly unplayable mess made more frustrating by a sprinkling of good ideas and flavor. Does this game stay on our shelf or does it get chucked into the bin? Join me and ducksindisguise as we spend a half hour reminiscing about the game, the show, and impact it continues to have on popular culture.

Ep 38 - Destined to be Divisive: The Nintendo 6404 Apr 202201:23:10

How do you follow one of the most popular consoles ever made? If you're Nintendo, take every risk and break every convention. While my memories of the Nintendo 64 are mostly rosy, this 64 bit workhorse brings just as much ire to retro game fans as it does excitement. The controller is strange, the visuals less than crisp, and the games came on carts. But for many of my guests, the N64 brings good memories of traversing 3D space for the first time and playing multiplayer games with friends. On this episode, we look at both sides of the N64 coin and attempt to find the truth therein.

Imagine if you had a full set of your favorite console. Now imagine you had a full set of every console ever made. With a combined 100 years of game collecting experience, Joe Santulli, John Hardie, and Sean Kelly amassed an epic collection of gaming consoles, games, and memorabilia. 

When they could have cashed in on our current state of crazy game selling and buying.  they chose another route. Instead, the trio built an epic museum dedicated to preserving these artifacts and educating gamer of all ages on videogame history. On this week's episode, I chat with the team as they share stories of acquiring games back in the old days, the current state of the market, and why they chose to build a 10,000 sqft shrine to the medium they loved.

When Id Software released Doom in 1993, it became a national sensation. It replaced the whimsical characters of Mario and Zelda with demonic creatures.
